This song brings back such great memories! I remember my friend, Anthony, was listening to this on the transistor radio as we were passing the gates of a factory on our way to Adventure-Land about 1976 or 1977, on one of our long, adventures going to far away places on our 10-speed bikes! He let me know that he heard those lyrics as we passed a factory! What great memories this song evokes for me, as we passed many factories on our biking adventures! BobbyK

One of my favorite songs of 1976. I was 16 at the time, and really into music.

I liked the piano sound in the background -- at the end -- of Paul Simon's "My Little Town" from January 1976. Upbeat And Fascinating!! A Solid 6.
