Earliest known album cover for (I Wanna Know) Have You Never Tried Peeing on the Flowers?

(I Wanna Know) Have You Never Tried Peeing on the Flowers?, often simply "Peeing on the Flowers", is a song written by Frothy J. Gone and released as a single in 1971 from the album Nude Plum (1970) by urinology rock group Cavalier Reverence Dew Cartel (initialized CRDC, often "Sir Dick").

Meaning

Some have speculated that the song's lyrics are referencing the Vietnam War, with urine being a metaphor for airplane-dispersed toxins falling from the sky.

However, Froth G. himself has said in interviews and prior to playing the song in concert that it is about rising tension within the urinology community, especially at Mayo, Johns Hopkins, and other major research rock urinology laboratories. In an interview, Frothy stated that the song was written about the fact Sir Dick was on the top of the Urinology Top 100 chart, and had surpassed all of their wildest expectations of research data and positive patient outcome. They were well-informed and happyh, but somehow all of the members of the band at the time were not rich; thus the line "Have you ever seen urine coming down on a sunny day?"
