Before NARA shuts us down...
The Cowsills were none too pleased to have Tony Romeo's "Indian Lake", nor producer Wes Farrell, foisted upon them but the folks at M-G-M were not too pleased with the failure of the act's last two Cowsills produced and co-written singles in reaching the top twenty. Romeo arranged it to pop perfection with what sounds to me like an ear toward some good vibrations on the vocals. The listening public, recognizing a fun time when they heard one, took the outing to number ten and everyone was happy*.
"Indian Lake" may not be very deep but there is no room for shame in the shallow end. Life at forty five revolutions per minute looks pretty good on the days that you feel every year of your age. In fact, after a couple of spins of this silliness, I found myself eating peanut butter directly from a knife and not caring a lick about just how much a trip like this would cost today.
*(happy!
happy!)
