Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway
Calling a name that’s lighter than air
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it’s Windy
I really didn’t like The Association (absolutely hate, detest, and despise “Cherish”), but as I’m always a sucker for vocal harmony, they remain a guilty pleasure, especially “Along Comes Mary”. :’) I remember their appearance on Ed Sullivan, a schtick introduction that was supposed to be clever. Don’t remember what song they did though.
Here is some actual video, taken shortly before the big wind:

This has got to be the dumbest sentence penned in quite a while:
“To that extent, the record is a testament to the three men atop the mountain that day — Salvatore Pagliuca, Alex McKenzie and Wendell Stephenson — as well as to the extraordinary strength of the wind itself.”
Gee, we only have 25 years before this will happen again.
