Admittedly, I've only got that one Focus LP, and "Hocus Pocus" was the only piece of theirs that I'd heard before I bought it, but boy did that tune haunt me from the first time I heard it on the radio until I tracked down a copy of my own.
Some heavy metal musician did a good cover of it sometime in the 80s or 90s. I still prefer the original, but the cover sucketh not.
(Hmm. A disc jockey I didn't know was hiding in my brain just suggested putting "Hocus Pocus" back to back with "Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter, then pairing the rest of Moving Waves with ... uh, which Deep Purple album has "April" on it?)
Friends turned me on to Klaatu a while ago, but well after their last album was out. Those same friends are disappointed that my favourite Klaatu album is the one they consider too conventional or something (hey, it does have the song "Sell Out" on it, so I figure the band was aware of what they'd done) but I find it all good.
So, did Mark play soccer in high school and enjoy? (Just wondering whether we're going to go from nostalgic-reminder to spooky.)
