"Harmony and understanding
 Sympathy and trust abounding
 No more falsehoods or derisions
 Golden living dreams of visions
 Mystic crystal revalation
 And the mind's true liberation
 Aquarius!"
 
    -- from the song "Aquarius", in the musical Hair, by James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Galt MacDermot.

[Via Wikipedia, this bit of trivia I hadn't previously known: "Hair became the first off-Broadway musical to successfully make the transition to the Broadway stage."]

The sentiments in the lyrics are very lovely, but I'm afraid I was corrupted by Mad Magazine a long time ago and cannot hear "Aquarius" in my head or out without substituting the parody lyrics they used for their "Star Trek Musical":

"When you're on a spaceship traveling
Exploring worlds way past Mars,
Make sure that your adventures
Do not kill off your stars!
And you can do it
With a crew that's dis-pens-a-ble,
A crew that's dis-pens-a-ble!
Dis-pens-a-ble! Dis-pens-a-ble..."
