Wikipedia
dandelion
Dandelion is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and first released as a B-side to "We Love You" in August 1967. With lyrical references to British counting or nursery rhymes, it reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart and number 14 on the US Billboard 100 singles chart. The first demo version of “Dandelion” was recorded in November 1966. Originally titled “Sometimes Happy, Sometimes Blue”, it had different lyrics and was sung and played by Keith Richards. On the released version, Mick Jagger sings the lead vocal. The Rolling Stones have never performed "Dandelion" live; nonetheless it has been included on several compilations, including Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2), More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies), Singles Collection: The London Years, and Rolled Gold+: The Very Best of the Rolling Stones. The original single release fades out with a brief section of the Nicky Hopkins piano intro from the A-side, “We Love You”. The coda is missing on most versions of “Dandelion” appearing on compilation albums, which include the song in a 3:32 edit, but it may be heard, for example, in the 3:48 version included on Singles Collection: The London Years and Through The Past, Darkly.

dandelion
A dandelion is a common and widely spread type of flowering plant that belongs to the family Asteraceae. It is known for its yellow-golden flower heads which turn into round balls of silver tufted fruits commonly known as "dandelion clocks". Dandelions are often classified as weeds, but all parts of the plants are edible and rich in vitamins. They are native to Eurasia and North America, but they grow in many parts of the world due to their ability to grow in various harsh conditions.

Dandelion
Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Eurasia and North and South America, and two species, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, are found as weeds worldwide. Both species are edible in their entirety. The common name dandelion is given to members of the genus, and like other members of the Asteraceae family, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Dandelion
dan-de-lī′un, n. a common plant with a yellow flower, its leaves with jagged tooth-like edges. [Fr. dent de lion, tooth of the lion.]
Etymology and Origins
Dandelion
A corruption of the French dent de lion, from its fancied resemblance to a lion’s tooth.
