Saturday in the park I think it was the fourth of july Saturday in the park I think it was the fourth of july People dancing, people laughing A man selling ice cream Singing italian songs (fake italian lyric) Can you dig it (yes, I can) And Ive been waiting such a long time For saturday
Saturday in the park Youd think it was the fourth of july Saturday in the park Youd think it was the fourth of july People talking, really smiling A man playing guitar Singing for us all Will you help him change the world Can you dig it (yes, I can) And Ive been waiting such a long time For today
Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day A bronze man still can tell stories his own way Listen children all is not lost All is not lost Funny days in the park Every days the fourth of july Funny days in the park Every days the fourth of july People reaching, people touching A real celebration Waiting for us all If we want it, really want it Can you dig it (yes, I can) And Ive been waiting such a long time For the day
Hoisen, there's always gonna be fucktards out there who dont know what the hell they're talkin bout so dont let their comments bother ya. This is an amazing song by a great group back in the day. Thanks for posting it
Love Ya Tyler, but Chicago's been round longer than Ya'll. I Love You, Love ya live, but ya won't top Chicago. Saw ya live, You Fuckin' Kicked Our Shit! I Love You Steve!
Wow are you serious!! You're a fucking retard. Eagles, Chicago, and Journey are some of the best oldie bands of all time and they are certainly not one hit wonders!!! I can prob name about 10 songs for each band that got lots of radio playtime. Wow your retarded you need to get your head of your ass.
wtf man "milking one hits"? you are either a fucking idiot or you have no idea wtf ur talking about. so plz if ur gonna make stupid comments on my vids ill jes block u beyotch.
One hit wonder?????? Did you seriously say that about CHICAGO????? Really??? You should cancel your you tube account and go crawl back under the rock you emerged from!!!!!
MY GAWD! If I hear another one-hit wonder here on You Tube I'm gonna get a shot gun and blow my brains out. Seriously ... this song rocks. Love the horns ... Killer Horns!!
GREAAAT! Just what we need ... another 1 Hit Wonder here on You Tube. I think these guys hit it big with this one song ... then milked it from there. MEEEELK!
This has to be one of the greatest "...feel good songs..." to ever hit my ears! So much nostalgia, great vibe, lyrics, etc. -Give it up for the MUSIC!
i was not born when this song came out, but when i hear it i start to think about the times good and bad and at times a tears to my eyes for all the memories and thinking about all the times in the park with all ur good friends having the time of our lives. but this type of music it what i call kool skool... this is for all the geart memories and to the better memories to come;)
I love this song reminds me of when I go to play at the courts, I used to love the park so much I literally spent almost everyday at the park for like 2 summers just playing basketball at the park. brings back memories
I love this song. It will always remind me of riding with my dad in his Dodge Coronet (in the front seat not wearing seat belts, ha!) in 1974 when I was 4 years old. The message is super positive. I love my dad.

This song was funny in little nicky when it was played backwards. Played backwards : I command you, in the name of Lucifer, to spill the blood of the innocent!
turned 51 today & what better way to while my time than listenin to 70's music this past 5 hrs or so..great song this Saturday in the Park..great band Chicago!
i remember patrick & i drummin' it away during our lab class in junior/senior high 73or was it 74? never ever forgot that day coz of this song -- great song..great chicago!
I interprested it as a statue (which can be made of bronze), in a park being able to tell stories kind of in the same vein as "if these walls could talk", since statues can stand the test of time for a long while
Many years ago worked in a nursing home to get through school. One of the residents, a lady in her seventys recovering from a stroke, would spend her days painting. One of her works got my attention. When I asked her about it she said it was called, you guessed it, "Saturdy in the Park". Then she showed her music collection. Chicago's appeal spanned many generations folks!
"Patritz, if only you knew what real music was, you would be much happier." - you are saying that your taste in music defines what real music is. I like this song, dont get me wrong, thus i am on here listening to it. However, I like hip hop and other genres so whats wrong with that. miles..
no, i also like this song, thus i am on here too. I happen to lik
The music industry has changed a lot over the years, I don't know if we'll get a wealth of artists making this quality of music again...my parents were spoiled.
omg im 15 also but i love this song so much It is something about the older music and also i am always listening to music like this on the radio becuz my mom is well shes in her 50s so she loves music like this and now i love it too Even though i wasnt born back then I still love it better then todays music what ever happened to the good tunes of music
I agree totally! I'm 14 1/2 also and I hate the music that goes on today. The songs from Chicago, the Beatles, and Billy Joel are the best you can get!
I remember being in junior high school when this came out and i was so shy and i used to hear my older cousins playing Chicago music. I LOVED it then as I do now.
I was 8 years old in 1976, and this song reminds me so much of the kick ass fourth of july that year, being the bicentennial and all, wish i could be around for the tricentennial im sure this song'll be playn.
Bobby Lamm sings lead vocals on this one, with Cetera singing backup. Cetera sings the part that goes "People dancing, people laughing" and "People talking, really smiling."
Hahaha thanks for making this! This song gets stuck in my head all the time!!! It's been in my head for the past hour this morning so I had to see who had it on youtube. YOU WIN!
This song was big in the summer of '72. I took that summer off and loafed on Kitsilano and Ambleside Beach in Vancouver. MAN it's cold for May. 13C (55 fah) Where is this so-called global warming. I want some. CHICAGO ROCKS!
