It's a Beautiful Day with their signature hit (well, this and "White Bird")...
Syke-a-DELICK, Maaaaan! Or, everything that was wrong with the '60s, wrapped up in one song. Still and even, I enjoyed hearing this and am reminded that, yes, I DID buy the album. Some of the music from that period aged gracefully, others not so much. My jury is kinda-sorta out on this particular song, which means I enjoy hearing it about once every four or five years. Today was just such a day.
In other news... it's almost a hot summer day here on The High Plains o' New Mexico... 82 degrees, zero wind, and only 25% relative humidity.... perfect, in other words. There aren't many days like this left this year so we're doin' the UCR thing out on the verandah with beer, a cigar and Radio Paradise (where I heard this song, just minutes ago).
Rock on, chillun.
Hot summer day (Hot summer day)
Carry me along
Oh, hot summer day (Hot summer day)
Please carry me along
Hot summer day
Carry me along
To its end
Where I begin

I've got that album also (natch) and I think I only listened to the entire thing ONCE--when I bought it. After that it was the occasional (very) exotica fix of "White Bird." LOL, much like you, I guess..
ReplyDeleteYeah... once in a great while is enough for any tune off this album.
DeleteBTW, OT but re the dog-tag bit, I never did mention that mine say "NONE" where religion goes. For some reason they let that slide back in 1966 in Del Rio.
ReplyDeleteI find the number of folks from our day who had "None" or "No Pref" rather amazing.
DeleteWe had some friends in Northern NM who had once been part of the Buddhist commune near our home. The commune broke up long ago, but some of the people still own land and live in the area. So these friends told us that they had once been into "syke-a-delick" music. I wondered what that was. Of course they told me that they were Christian, Catholic, Budhhists - I wondered what that meant too.
ReplyDelete"Christian, Catholic, Buddhists?" I'm thinking that means they took a lot of drugs. ;-)
