The Lemon Pipers were a short-lived 1960s American rock band from Oxford, Ohio, known chiefly for their song "Green Tambourine", which reached No. 1 in the United States in 1968. The chasm between the label's aspirations and the band's own musical tastes became apparent on the Lemon Pipers's debut album, Green Tambourine. Two extended tracks written by the band, "Fifty Year Void" and "Through With You". The band recorded a second album Jungle Marmalade, which again showed both sides of the band. "Jelly Jungle, (released as a single), a version of the Carole King/Gerry Goffin penned song "I Was Not Born to Follow," and an 11-minute, 43 second epic, "Dead End Street/Half Light". The band left the Buddah label in 1969 and later dissolved.
