God, I hated this song when it first came out.  Whenever it shows up occasionally on oldies stations, I immediately change stations out of fear that it will give me bad gas.  It's just a stupid song poorly executed, and the vocals are totally obnoxious.  This is an overproduced attempt at capturing the "hippie sound."  Clueless schlock.

the flesh will die and rot but your soul essence will survive.

Songs like this make me think those "end times" folks might have a point...

This song makes me very grateful that I won't be around in 2525.

In the year 2525, this horrible song, will be played alot. I hope that I'm dead, by then.

A song so monumentally cheesy that it has the distinction of being the only song the Five Man Electrical Band wishes THEY had recorded.

A bombastic and melodramatic sermon that was the only real hit Zager and Evans had, although it was a huge smash. Contrary to popular RIA belief, this does NOT refer to the year you would finally finish reading all of the Grizzly Chewing Tobacco reviews nor the Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance dog food ones.
