In short detail, as the comments on the other video with the song in it read, many have seriously had the nerve to interpret this 1972 song (Epic 5-10891) more as a song about a child molester and a pedophile than a song about someone regaining the innocence of childhood. (and, did we mention a certain Ray Conniff did this one?) The truth simply points to the latter; the guy spends almost NONE of the song's running time telling us all about how he'd like to jam that dick in make whoopee with that 7-year-old princess, for example.
A notable trait this record had (which the more dirty-minded listeners failed to get) is that it took FOREVER to hit the charts. Epic put the record out in July 1972; it didn't chart on Billboard until March 24, 1973; it was on the Hot 100 for 23 straight weeks, peaking at #2. It was an even bigger hit in Canada (where a selective number of my followers are from, namely Shine and Dr Aqua light); it topped their RPM charts.
