Jesus Fucking Christ....Chicago At Tanglewood, Lennox, MA 1970......

[Cato]

not just Chicago.
there used to be lots of Japanese versions in the early '70s. the Carpenters, Michel Polnareff etc...

most of those were distributed by CBS Sony Japan.

Guess that explains how Shonen Knife learned this song.....

Seems like a random title for a song, until you consider it was written and recorded in 1969, so the "summer of love" of 1967 and the summer of anything BUT love (MLK/RFK/beatings at the Chicago convention, etc.) were obviously fresh in their minds. So the "questions" weren't random numbers at all, but rather summing up what was then recent history.... and then disguising it as some sort of love song (probably after smoking a lot of weed)

Run FORDs video to .10 just before the singing starts hit pause.

Then run this video to .40 (HD Audio) hit pause.. then play them over each other..(hit play on both if you get close) it is much better than the sound on FORD recording and it's FUN!!

Watch FORDS vid
