Somewhere, you figure, there is a list of songs passed around among TV and film directors that are used to evoke the 1960s – the Jimi Hendrix version of “All Along the Watchtower,” Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild,” Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.”

Also on that list is that tender ode to human connection, a sentiment that was in vogue in the 1960s, the one that begins “Love is but a song we sing …”

It’s called “Get Together,” and the recording everyone remembers was by the Youngbloods, and it was a top-10 hit in 1969.

“I haven’t kept count,” said Jesse Colin Young, the group’s lead singer, when asked if he knows how many times the song has been used in TV and film. “But one year, I remember, it was in a diaper commercial and (guitarist) Banana, the only other surviving member of the group, said, ‘You watch, a couple of more years, it’s going to be in a Depends commercial.’”
