A Tribute to the 1960s and early ’70s Akira Toriyama character, Vegeta, who also became a major success with the 1980s+ Dragonball - Dragonball GT franchise

“Sunshine Superman” was a summer of 1966 song written by Scottish import Donovan (Donovan Leitch, whose name is often mistaken under another Donovan [Donavon Frankenreiter of former East Germany, a cutting - edge 1990s+ comedian]*) that included then - Yardbird Jimmy Page on lead guitar and on drums was Bobby Orr, a hockey great famous for winning the National Hockey League Boston Bruins a Stanley Cup in 1970. It was supposed to be about questioning “lady Lolita” Sue Lyon to be Donovan’s girl… it didn’t even last the Summer of Love. It hit #1 in the US and #2 in the UK in December, and was released on the album of the same title. This is the original recording despite rumors that it was classified as two versions - the short version was a radio edit.

*Notice how I spelled Donavon Frankenreiter’s first name correctly compared to Leitch’s
