we've heard "Aquarius" a few times recently too.  There were some truly excellent suggestions in that FB thread -- hope we get 2 or 3 of 'em.

BOS to the Fifth Dimension!  

Although too bad the other eleven astro-signs got shafted in the pop charts.

On a field trip in '69 as kids to tour our local radio station "Aquarius" was one of the 45s handed out to us.  I still have it in a steel 45rpm record box deep in the back of a closet.  Time to dig it out and give 'em a spin!

Good but not earth-shattering (or moon-shattering) set.  HM to the 5D; BOS to Goo Goo Barabajagal.  "Love is hot - truth is MOLTEN!"

And the Supremes' "No Matter What Sign You Are," which name-drops all the signs in the lyrics if not the title.

uh-oh, one of Gaz's least-faves: CSN in Marrakesh. VHM from me -- a fond radio memory.

and how could I have overlooked Grandmaster Flash's Scorpio:

OK, I'm sorry, we've jumped the shark with "Boy named Sue" which AL has played at least 4 times.
