This turns up a lot on lists of worst songs or most-hated songs, but I gotta tell you . . . when it's the spring of 1972 and you're a freshman in college and you're sitting around the dorm with people who are somewhat under the influence of various illegal substances and your arm is around a girl who's inexplicably called Moose even though she looks nothing like a moose . . . well, take it from me, this is a great song. The radio station we always listened to, KRMA, with studios in Buda , Texas
And this is what happens when you get me reminiscing about college. Best not to do that.

I've always enjoyed America's music, this song included.
Heard this yesterday. I like it quite a lot
I can think of hundreds of songs I dislike more than this one, which I think is all right.
I think this is a song that it is possible to love and hate at the same time! I bought the single when it came out and for the many years since then, I have gone back and forth between enjoying it and skipping though it when it comes around on the iPod or the few times I listen to the radio. I think this is due to the fact that it still sounds unique. I can't think of another song to compare it to.
Ten years later, in the summer of '82, I had this song in heavy rotation on my Camaro's cassette deck. Good memories.
