1. Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the minds true liberation

Age of Aquarius, Fifth Dimension

3. To you I'm a toy
But I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah dah dah)
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

Build Me Up Buttercup

4. You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Down on the Corner, Creedence Clearwater Revival

5. Gliddy glup gloopy
Nibby nabby noopy
La la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba
Nooby abba nabba
Lee lee lo lo
Tooby ooby walla
Nooby abba nabba
Early morning singing song

Good Morning Starshine, Oliver

6. Its just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest number, Three Dog Night

8. Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won`t be seen.
An` football`s still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids there still respect the college dean.

Okie from Muskogee, Merle Haggard

Wasn't Hit Parader more of a music type magazine? .

There were articles, but they had lyrics as well, at least back when I was reading it they did. That probably changed at some point. I found an old one up for bid. You can see where they list the songs they have lyrics for inside.

Okay this is one I was thinking of, they must've gone to more of an interview type magazine by the time I was buying it for myself. But as soon as I clicked on the picture, the layout was familiar! It was a different layout and font when I was buying it as a teenager, which is why I didn't think it was the same mag.

#1 Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In – The 5th Dimension

We sang this in our 3rd grade play, The Pollution Solution, strangely this play never made it to Broadway. Not from the hit Broadway musical, but from The 5th Dimension, but I went easy on everyone who say B’way cast. The Song is actually Let The Sunshine In, and the opening part is call Aquarius, for some reason us humans like to call it The Age of Aquarius.

2. Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspapers said
She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag
#8 The Ballad Of John And Yoko – The Beatles

Just John & Paul on this one, John gave Paul co-authorship on Give Peace a Chance in order to get him to help out on the recording.

3. To you I'm a toy
But I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah dah dah)
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so
#3 Build Me Up Buttercup – The Foundations

I don’t care what anybody says, I single-handedly made this song popular again by playing it at the bar in the 80’s!

4. You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
#21 Down on the Corner – CCR

#21, that’s as high as this one made it? Remarkably they release 3 hit albums in 1969, truly amazing.

5. Gliddy glup gloopy
Nibby nabby noopy
La la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba
Nooby abba nabba
Lee lee lo lo
Tooby ooby walla
Nooby abba nabba

#3 Good Morning Sunshine – Oliver

Huh? Another hit from the Hair original cast album, but recorded by someone other than a cast member. Also see #1

6. Its just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
#5 One – Three Dog Night

Great song written by Harry Nilsson, later recorded by Aimee Mann for the Magnolia soundtrack.

7. Every days a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I’ll be spending time with you
#12 More Today Than Yesterday – The Spiral Starecase

Somebody ought to use the chorus for a Valentine’s Day card. Always thought that the name of the group was Staircase, you learn something new everyday.

8. Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won`t be seen.
An` football`s still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids there still respect the college dean.
#41 Okie From Muskogee - Merle Haggard

Pretty sure I read that this song was a joke, which would make sense given Merle sense of humor.

9. Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
#1 Suspicious Minds – Elvis Presley

One of his last great singles, along with Burning Love, but the last to make it to #1.

10. Hand out the arms and ammo
We're going to blast our way through here
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
#37 Something in the Air – Thunderclap Newman

Produced by Pete Townshed, who also played bass, this was the only hit on the album, which is weird one, even by my standards. Still finds itself being played on the radio and in movie soundtracks.
