LOL... This is TOO funny. I heard on CBC radio that it was on this date way back in 1971 that radio stations across the US started banning this song by Brewer and Shipley because it was about drugs and immoral. (Ha! How's that for a time warp?) In any case, I Googled it just now on YouTube and found this version from the Lawrence Welk show. It's priceless. Be sure to watch till the VERY end!

What? It's a song about Jeebus! What could be more wholesome than that? ;-)
Crazy, eh? And of course the banning propelled the song to the top of the charts!
If you look hard enough, you can find something wrong with everything.
