If only this song were literal.

Can somebody do something about this spring's weather? Please?

Oldies?  What does that make me?

Wow: double-mind blow. Instantly recognized the song..and then deep memory kicked in and woke up memories of Saturday morning cartoons with Hercules. Haven't seen that in decades. Not a bad cartoon. Loved the evil Daedalus:

^ Yes, yes, yes! Same here, except I was 7. I taught a little girl down the street, who was even younger than me, to sing this song during the summer. It brings back great memories of the simple joys of childhood!

I don't. Seems to be more "classic MOR" on this station lately, much to my chagrin. I'd like to hear more off the beaten track stuff, and less of what I could hear on innumerable FM radio stations, North America wide.

Some version of this song - not this version I think - was used on a commercial for a window cleaning product that rhymes with Pindex. Now I can't hear this song without feeling an urge to go clean some windows.  For the record, this was from before I got the Tivo, so I'm much better now.

Always make me think of the opening scene from "Grosse Point Blank".  Great surreal scene with this playing in the background.

I heard somewhere that this was written for Mr. Nash by Bob Marley... any takers?

EDIT
...2 minutes and one Google / wiki search later...

It is a common misconception<by whom?> that the song was written and/or previously performed by Bob Marley, possibly based on the fact that The Wailers were the backing band on Nash's original recording. Marley wrote Nash's next single, "Stir It Up". Nash wrote this song himself and recorded it in London with members of The Average White Band

Same for me, I heard it once by chance when visiting family in Germany in 72. My cousins used to listen to a German radio station (Sud-West something) who used to keep space for American speakers for two (or three?) hours of music in the evening. It was such a great tune compared to the poor french disco of that time... We loved this one.
