Diane from AustraliaI've always thought that the Miller reference came from the fairy tale Rumplestiltskin.I think the other parts of the song refer to the narrator pursuing one af the aforementioned attendants. Canamike from CanadaA plane flying cross country (leaving for the coast) staffed by rookie flight attendants (vestal virgins) hits wicked turbulence (fandango, cartwheels).Sonically I just can't get past this version that I heard when it presented itself some 54+ years ago. I have not heard any other covers mentioned however. For me the original will always be the best. As far as the best version if ever is subjective. There are some interesting comments as to the meaning of the song. Rusty Russell from Apex NcIt sounds as though Keith Reid has given us a framework for the song but once the song is released to the public it is up to the listener to interpret it the way that best fits his own world view.Armin from Dallas/fort WorthOne thing that seems to get overlooked among the song's hypnotic organ and intriguing lyrics are the killer drum fills between vocal lines.There was nothing on the radio like this in 1967. This song sounds as good today as when it came out- talk about staying power. Dorice from Providence,roHeard this on 99.1 60’s on six tonight coming home.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Writer/s: Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher They might have just as well've been closed
