Lyric discussion by conorissoscene 

this song was released in europe in november 1966, around the same time the banana rumor was started. this means that it was probably written earlier in the year.

and as for the velvet underground, even though the album was released in 1967, the artwork was made in may of '66, so it's all coincidence.

i read this stuff in a good article in "the believer" (the 2005 music issue).
