Take Your Stinkin' Paws Off Me, You Damned, Dirty Ape!

I have heard the song In the Year 2525 since I was an amoeba and every time I do, it creeps me out. It was written in the early ’sixties when all we had to worry about was Kennedy’s trigger finger and being overtaken by artificial intelligence. The song starts in the aforementioned year and runs until mankind has been around for 10,000 years. Sure Zager and Evans could have benefitted from a physical anthropology course or a glance at a Jewish calendar but still the lyrics are disturbing, something Nostradamus would have written if he tried the brown acid.
