Excellent 70's Canadian prog band. Not really big on 20 minute epics, but manage to put enough changes and atmosphere into a song to keep any prog fan satisfied. If I had to compare them to any particular band, it would be the Beatles. Their first two albums, 3:47 EST and Hope have a very mellow-rock feel to them, with vocals that could easily pass for Paul McCartney. Extremely diverse group too, with some straight up rock n' roll tunes (Anus Of Uranus), moody space rock songs (Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft) , and of course your weird ass novelty tunes (Sir Bodsworth Rugglesby III). Great and criminally overlooked prog band.

I believe The Carpenters, of all bands, covered this song and made it a hit. Great band with good songs.
