Steppenwolf- Magic Carpet ride
I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine♫
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night♫
Any place it goes is right♫
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here♫Well, you don’t know what we can find♫
Why don’t you come with me little girl♫
On a magic carpet ride♫
You don’t know what we can see♫
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me♫
Fantasy will set you free♫
Close your eyes girl♫
Look inside girl♫
Let the sound take you away♫Last night I held Aladdin’s lamp♫
And so I wished that I could stay♫
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away♫
I looked around, a lousy candle’s all I found♫Well, you don’t know what we can find♫
Why don’t you come with me little girl♫
On a magic carpet ride♫
Well, you don’t know what we can see♫
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me♫
Fantasy will set you free♫
Close your eyes girl♫
Look inside girl♫
Let the sound take you away♫

Wikipedia-logoSteppenwolf was an American-Canadian rock band that was prominent from 1968 to 1972. The group was formed in late 1967[1][2] in Los Angeles by lead singer John Kay, keyboardist Goldy McJohn, and drummer Jerry Edmonton, all formerly of the Canadian band the Sparrows.[5] Guitarist Michael Monarch and bass guitarist Rushton Moreve were recruited via notices placed in Los Angeles-area record and musical instrument stores.Steppenwolf sold over 25 million records worldwide,[6] released seven gold albums and one platinum album, and had 13 Billboard Hot 100 singles, of which seven were Top 40 hits,[7] including three top 10 successes: “Born to Be Wild“, “Magic Carpet Ride“, and “Rock Me“. Steppenwolf enjoyed worldwide success from 1968 to 1972, but clashing personalities led to the end of the core lineup. Today, John Kay is the only original member, having been the lead singer since 1967. The band was called John Kay & Steppenwolf from 1980 to 2018. In Canada, they had four top 10 songs, 12 top 40, and 14 in the top 100.[1]

In 2016, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominated them for induction in 2017.[8] Although they fell short of enough votes to qualify for induction that year, in 2018 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame selected one of their biggest singles – 1968’s “Born to Be Wild” – as one of the first five singles that shaped rock and roll to be inducted into the hall in its history.[9]
