I remember this song. I used to like The 5th Dimension back in the day.  RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

"Stoned Soul Picnic" is one groovy cut! I liked "Age of Aquarius" because I thought I could claim the song because of my zodiac sign, but I was actually born on the cusp.
Remember when their version of "Love Hangover" came out right around the same time as Diana Ross'? Funny, when I think of this song now it's Diana's version that's comes to mind, it's my favorite. Hey, what are McCoo & Davis doing these days anyway? | |

O.K., does anybody know what the opening words are to "Stoned Soul"?? I NEVER could figure them out as a young'n, and I still can't.
"Can you ___, can you picnic? Whoa, whoa. . ." | |

"Can you ___, can you picnic? Whoa, whoa. . ." When I first saw this thread I started singing "Surrey down...stone soul picnic..." Then I'm thinking, "Surrey?" is that right? I'd always sung it this way but have no idea what it means. | |

In elementary school my class performed the play "Oklahoma" and there was this song called "Surrey with the Fringe on Top". I'm not sure what it was--a buggy, perhaps? You know, I'm just gonna have to look the word up! | |

Here we go again...a lot of 5th Dimension's hits(including Stoned Soul Picnic) are cover versions of songs composed & originally performed by an extraordinary singer-songwriter-musician.
And her versions are FAR superior-hint:look at my avatar... I DON'T WANT TO BE NORMAL,because normal is part of the status quo,which I don't want to be a part of- Tori Amos | |
