Oh pshaw. The reason people hate the vocals on 'Groovy...' is because Mal tries to *sing* which is not something he should ever do. He's no Sinatra, and it shows. 'Colours,' from about the same period, fares much better in the vocal-integration department, largely because someone must have pointed out to Mal that he can't carry a tune!
