I Dig Rock and Roll Music

"I Dig Rock and Roll Music" is a 1967 song by the American folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, written by Paul Stookey, James Mason and Dave Dixon.

Credited to Stookey-Mason-Dixon, the song's lyrics reference contemporary rock artists including the Mamas & the Papas, Donovan, and the Beatles.

[1][2] Matthew Greenwald of AllMusic commented that the song "simply celebrates the simple joy of pop music at the time.

"[3] In an interview with the Chicago Daily News in 1966, a year before the song's release, Mary Travers expressed contempt for the emergence of the folk rock genre: "(It's) so badly written.

The backing vocal effect in the verse parodying the Beatles reflects "Yellow Submarine".
