From The Serpent Is Rising album, assisted by The Plexiglass Toilet Choir.

This is the story I have been told about this song which came from Chuck Panozzo. It was written by John P AND John C. The only members from Styx on the song are the 2 Johns and Chuck. Dennis and JY wanted nothing to do with the song. They dont appear on it anywhere. Chuck said it was a big FUCK YOU to Dennis who, at the time was writing artsy-fartsy, Emerson, Lake & Palmer crap.

When I first heard this in 1973, I didn't know who did it. A year or so later, I assumed it was the Ramones. I was surprised when years later I learned it was actually Styx.

Weird how I've always (since a kid in the 70s) associated this song with Cheech and Chong.

So much hate for Styx? they're an amazing band! Now they have Larry Gowan, you can't beat that. So many great songs. Of course it was pretentious, it's art. All these songs were written when there was no war and the future seemed eternal. The guys were wildly talented. They ENTERTAINED you! Show some appreciation and less resentment. If you have petty issues with a band like Styx, the problem is you.

My wife was the world's biggest Styx fan and had all the albums, but for some strange reason had never let the album play through to this song. When I told her about it, she denied it existed and proceeded to dig out the record to prove it to me. After the long pause after "As bad as this" it started playing. Her jaw dropped so far I thought she had dislocated it. I couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes. Priceless.

Yes - I can see the logical progression from "Lady", here.

Dennis wanted Styx to be the next ELP back then. So John RIP threw this down and Den and JY both hate it to this day. I find it quirky and a unique FU how John C. was not as anal about making music

I remember listening to this record over and over again in my high school bedroom with my best friend Chuck in 1973. What a hidden gem in Styx's discography! This album represented a lot of hard times in my life. It still speaks to me after 42 years. I love Witch Wolf on this album. So much drive and good times. Of course this song was the epitome of what Styx had to offer at the time! So cool! Everything Styx released after this kind of paled in comparison, until I think ten years later when Kilroy Was Here came out. That record changed the game! I'm also really partial to Love Is The Ritual! What an awesome song. Love live Styx!

Do you think they were aiming for a novelty hit?
