Songwriter ( s ) Paul Stookey James Mason Dave Dixon Producer ( s ) Albert Grossman Milt Okun Peter, Paul and Mary singles chronology `` For Baby ( For Bobbie ) '' ( 1966 ) `` I Dig Rock and Roll Music '' ( 1967 ) `` Too Much of Nothing '' ( 1967 ) `` For Baby ( For Bobbie ) '' ( 1966 ) `` I Dig Rock and Roll Music '' ( 1967 ) `` Too Much of Nothing '' ( 1967 ) `` 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. Background Credited to Stookey - Mason - Dixon, the song 's lyrics reference contemporary rock artists including the Mamas & the Papas, Donovan, and the Beatles. The song parodies and satirizes the vocal style of the Mamas & the Papas in the first verse, Donovan in the second verse and the Beatles in the third verse. Matthew Greenwald of AllMusic commented that the song `` simply celebrates the simple joy of pop music at the time. '' The song was a hit single for the group and reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. In an interview with the Chicago Daily News in 1966, a year before the song 's release, Mary Travers had expressed contempt for the emergence of the folk rock genre, `` it 's so badly written... When the fad changed from folk to rock, they did n't take along any good writers. '' The line about Donovan and `` his crystal images '' refers to the mention of `` crystal spectacles '' in `` Epistle to Dippy ''. The song is also noted for its psychedelic feedback effects, miming the volume swell on the electric guitar from Donovan 's 1966 song `` Sunshine Superman ''. The backing vocal effect in the verse, parodying the Beatles, reflects `` Yellow Submarine ''. References Jump up ^ John Shepherd ( 8 July 2003 ).
