Does anyone know a song with the lyrics

[Godmancunian]

I caught a snatch of a sixties song on tv the other day and the lyrics included words something like a "funky/funny" kind of yellow". It might be in a song by The Small Faces and I think was featured in a programme about the history of pop music programmes. Can anyone help please?

It may be mellow yellow by Donovan

Could be 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' by Status Quo.

"When I look into the skies
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow"

Definitely Pictures of Matchstick Men, by Status Quo in their psychedelic pre-12 bar boogie days.

Thanks for your help ... having listened it is definitely the Quo song ... I am amazed! Thanks again to you all.
