Same here.  My older sis had that 45 and it was definitely one of the earliest pop songs I remember listening to.

I wouldn't consider Spinning Wheel as Psychedelic song by any means. Pop jazz yes. Went with Strawberry alarm clock then Spencer Davis.

You should check out the remake of LTTC by Cassandra Wilson. Interesting take.
 
I'll choose Dizzy by The Nice. With Davy O'List.

"Spinning Wheel" is already prog enough for me.
I vote "Gimme Some Lovin'". The organ is a good stepping stone for a prog song: that is already a bit proggy. Some tempo changes and modulations and voila... prog on demand LOL

The absence of any cover versions is a big defect in Pink Floyd's otherwise perfect catalogue.  The three of them should get together and give us "Last Train to Clarksville". Peter Tork can stand in on the keyboards.

Happy Together done by ELP.

I can hear a Fanfaresque version with lots of drum fills and a mean Hammond sound balanced by Gregies smooth vocals.
 
My choice too, although I didn't know this was the one thing my life was missing until I saw JD's suggestion.  Now I'm sad because I can't listen to it.

The one I know, which is Happy Together (and which I really love). However, no vote from me.

I wish to hear a contemporary prog version / cover of Spinning Wheel  by Blood, Sweat & Tears,  although that song is already prog, especially if we know that it's a song from 1968; it's actually a fantastic early, sixites' prog song without a question.

One of my favorite (should be prog-related) groups is a relatively obscure band called dada. They did a fantastic job of trippifying "Last Train to Clarksville" when I saw them a year ago.

I can imagine Yes doing "Last Train to Clarksville" (in their own way of course).

I can imagine Happy Together with some badass 10-minute Hammond solo, so it gets my vote Big smile
