MYSTIC CRYSTAL REVELATIONS

Guilty pleasure.

Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)—The 5th Dimension

Now, we all remember when Fred dreamed Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm became baby singing sensations. Their manager was the memorably named Eppy Brianstone.

The song that swept a prehistoric nation? Open Up Your Heart and Let the Sun Shine In.

A few years after that episode, Let the Sunshine In showed up in the musical Hair.

Damn you thieving hippies. Damn you all to hell.

But The 5th Dimension made everything OK with this awesome medley.

I’ll willingly swallow gobs and gobs of nonsensical astropharmaceutical doggerel when it goes down so sweet and mantric.

A shiny new poncho for anyone who knew about that parenthetical in the title…
