You remember those 60's hippie movies? A climactic scene usually had the hero exhorting everyone to get real, lose their hang-ups, and LIVE! Sometimes the hero would simply go raving off into the horizon shouting about starting his search and being gloriously unsure of where he was going, since the scriptwriter was stuck with an ending.
David McCallum didn't quite get his chance to star in one of those "Lord Love a Duck and Morgan and Alice B. Toklas at Zabriskie Point with Heironymous Merkin" movies. He was stuck being the low-key tight-lipped Ilya Kuryakin on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." In that role, he had to keep his cool, but on this single he got a chance to let loose and go wonderfully bonkers. On "My Carousel," shouting lines in one long crazy monologue, you might think he's become a mad Napoleon, solo.
