This is one of the most unforgivably cheesy pieces of music I've ever heard from a band of supposedly skilled musicians:
I hate it. Loathe it! It's pure crap shot from the a-hole of the 70's. I hate every corny keyboard note and every stupid sounding guitar bit. This track goes perfectly with mental images of retarded leprechauns frollicking in a field of pink flowers and comically oversized styrofoam garden gnomes. It is to instrumentals what the kazoo is to musical instruments. TL;DR: I don't like it.

They either couldn't make a decent album or they tanked it. ELP were under contractual obligation to release so many albums, they had few left. Love Beach was an album they
had to do. I always thought it was bad cause they rushed the album for contractual reasons, or lost touch with what the public wanted to hear. I mention this album to someone, and he said it was ELP way of flippin' the bird the record company by making a cheesy album. That it was all a joke. I don't know how true that is -- whether or not they deliberately wrote a terrible album to screw with the recording company. I always thought that the band members of ELP seemed to be perfectionist in the beginning of their career. So there is no reason to make a bad album.
