I like to refer to this song as "Chicago's Drug Trip". Does that mean I think they're a bunch of stoners who were high on acid at the time they were writing this song? No. I simply mean it's just a strange, bizarre, out of the blue song. The wah-wah guitar and psychedelic horns and flutes add to that as well.
This song quickly became one of my favorites of theirs, mainly because of its upbeat feel. I think it's massively underrated.
Both this song and Flight 602 were written by Robert Lamm. You may also recall that he also did an Anti-drug use commercial where he said "(some) of our friends are not around anymore because they were using drugs... we miss them" He was clearly opposed to drug use and for this reason I doubt he would write a song glorifying their use.
