UPDATE:
While we're at it, why not your groovy shirt too? Here's some Donovan (and here) to help you out:
Do you have a shirt that you really love,
One that you feel so groovy in ?
You don't even mind if it starts to fade,
That only makes it nicer still.
I love my shirt, I love my shirt,
My shirt is so comfortably lovely.
I love my shirt, I love my shirt,
My shirt is so comfortably lovely.
Do you have some jeans that you really love,
Ones that you feel so groovy in ?
You don't even mind if they start to fray
That only makes them nicer still.
I love my jeans, I love my jeans,
My jeans are so comfortably lovely.
I love my jeans, I love my jeans,
My jeans are so comfortably lovely.
When they are taken to the cleaners,
I can't wait to get them home again.
Yes, I take 'em to the cleaners
And there they wash them in a stream,
Scrub a rub dub dub
And there they wash them in a stream -
Know what I mean.
Do you have some shoes that you really love,
Ones that you feel so flash in ?
You don't even mind if they start to get some holes in
That only makes them nicer still.
I love my shoes, I love my shoes,
My shoes are so comfortably lovely.
I love my jeans, I love my jeans,
My jeans are so comfortably lovely.
I love my shirt, I love my shirt,
In fact I love my wardrobe.
I love my shirt, I love my shirt,
My shirt is so comfortably lovely....

Teehee. Dude takes his jeans to the cleaners. That's yuppie, not hippie.
Cool. I'm feeling so hippie, so comfortably lovely. I think I'll go home and put on my favorite shirt, and my favorite jeans (the frayed ones) and some shoes that I feel flash in.....
...and spend the evening preparing for a sentencing hearing at which my client is going to get screwed.
I wish I could afford to be a hippie again, but I make too much money.
Listen for that behind next year's Tide commercials.
What these Donovan lyrics suggest, I suppose scholars will argue, is that we can mark the inversion of Western social values from the arrival of "I'm too sexy for my shirt."
