@TheEldoradKId-- yes it reminds of Saturday, too. The sunny Saturday morning early September, 1969 when I made a fool of myself the night before and called up the best looking girl in my junior high to ask her to be my girlfriend. Needless to say it wasn't well received on her end and I woke up the next day (Saturday) hearing this song being played on Dick Clark's American bandstand. It wasn't a pleasant feeling that morning as I am sure you would realize.
@centralparocker --the two knuckleheads who didn't like this song have been identified, because of your request, they are: Jack W Kranfield of Spokane Washington, and the other is Wanita Mendez of Soux Flla Iowa. I hope you are satisfied knowing who they are. Many undercover professionals and many taxpayer dollars went into
bringing you this information. But as long as your curiousity is now at peace, we here at the Commission of Truth
Heard this song on my honeymoon in Niagra Falls on leave from the USAF! I'm still with that wonderful lady 41 years later and this song says it all when you're with the right companion.
Believe it or not there is a great cover of this song by a punk/ska band called Goldfinger. They don't disrespect the beauty of this song at all. They keep their version true to this amazing song.
I call this, and similar 60s light folk rock, "60s kite-flying music". It reminds me of a sunny spring saturday afternoon, flying my kite at a beach or in a park, and just running around for the sheer joy of celebrating life! Glad I was there, then to do that! Can't find it now...
@TheEldoradoKid I was born in the 80's and I can tell you, I wish I was around for those times. Music like this is what inspires me to live my life to the fullest.
I will always sing along to this song as soon as I hear it.. yes, it feels like summer in my heart.

Not to pick nits, but the group was called "The Spiral STARECASE", not "The Spiral Staircase". Anyway, it's one of my favorites.

Last time I went to school 1969 was in the decade of the 60's.
The 70's had a different vibe and style of music.
