"Oh! Wot A Dream" was a Kevin Ayers single taken from his fourth solo album Bananamour. Ayers has stated in interviews that ‘Oh! Wot A Dream’ was about his friend and colleague Syd Barrett – “You are the most extraordinary person / You write the most peculiar kind of tunes / I met you floating as I was boating / One Afternoon”. ‘Connie On A Rubber Band’ was a non album track that would later be included on 1976 compilation Odd Ditties.

Famous quotes containing the words wot and/or dream:
“I never drank of Aganippe well,
Nor ever did in shade of Tempe sit,
And muses scorn with vulgar brains to dwell;
Poor layman I, for sacred rites unfit.
Some do I hear of poets’ fury tell,
But, God wot, wot not what they mean by it;
And this I swear by blackest brook of hell,
I am no pickpurse of another’s wit.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“People who have realized that this is a dream imagine that it is easy to wake up, and are angry with those who continue sleeping, not considering that the whole world that environs them does not permit them to wake. Life proceeds as a series of optical illusions, artificial needs and imaginary sensations.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
