Band featured tight harmony and some good original songs, as well as some very unique covers. The vocal sound was Beatle-esque, as many groups were during that time.
Female singer was Jan Errico, who was also the drummer.
Errico joined the Mojo Men, another local band and I believe she was strictly a singer, not a drummer with that band. With the the Mojos, her gentle understated voice was heard on their biggest hit, "Sit Down I Think I Love You". The follow up was a good song titled "Me About You" (which I always liked but still did not do well nationally).
The Vejees broke up upon Errico's departure in 1966 and quickly faded into SF Rock History wallpaper,
Anything
The Vejtables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Car and clothes, don't have to try
Anything I need now, I can take
Gold or gracin, ice cream and cake
Still I need somebody to love and be mine
No one can tell me where I can find no no
I'm watching anything, anything that goes by
Now I tried to learn oh only if I could
Oh where can I go tell me anything if you would
Can't be bought sir I can't buy
Anything I do boy still can't buy
No no no can't buy
The Vejtables's song Anything is a nostalgic and wistful track that speaks to the idea that material possessions cannot replace love and affection. The lyrics begin by highlighting the singer's ability to purchase anything they desire, from cars to clothes, without even having to put effort in. However, the chorus reveals the poignant truth that no matter how wealthy or successful one may be, they still need someone to love and to be loved. This insight is an important reminder that true happiness cannot be bought or obtained superficially.
The songwriter then expresses a desire to learn where they can find such love and affection, suggesting they are uncertain and lost in this aspect of their life. However, they remain hopeful, declaring they will watch and wait for love to come their way, determined not to let the opportunity pass them by. In the end, the singer acknowledges that love cannot be bought, no matter how wealthy or influential one becomes.

No no no can't buy
Love cannot be bought with money.
