美國搖滾樂團［芝加哥］──流行搖滾名曲──［Saturday in the Park／公園週末］

Saturday in the park,

I think it was the Fourth of July

Saturday in the park,

I think it was the Fourth of July

People dancing, people laughing

A man selling ice cream

Singing Italian songs

Everybody is another

Can you dig it (yes, I can)

And Ive been waiting such a long time

For Saturday

Another day in the park

I think it was the Fourth of July

Another day in the park

I think it was the Fourth of July

People talking, really smiling

A man playing guitar

And singing for us all

Will you help him change the world

Can you dig it (yes, I can)

And Ive been waiting such a long time

For today

Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day

A bronze man still can tell stories his own way

Listen children all is not lost, all is not lost, oh no, no

Funny days in the park

Every days the Fourth of July

Funny days in the park

Every days the Fourth of July

People reaching, people touching

A real celebration

Waiting for us all

If we want it, really want it

Can you dig it (yes, I can)

And Ive been waiting such a long time

For the day, yeah yeah

Hoo hoo oh

Hmm hmmm

Hmm hmmm

１９７２年７月１０日 美國搖滾樂團芝加哥（Chicago）推出第四張錄音室大碟［Chicago V］（Columbia）

這是出道以來他們首張單片專輯（先前是三張雙片大碟與一張四片演唱會專輯）

歌曲主要由團員Robert Lamm創作

James William Guercio製作　走的是搖滾與爵士搖滾曲風　樂評優良

首支單曲為７月１３日發行的［Saturday in the Park／公園週末］

Robert Lamm創作並主唱　描述他對紐約中央公園的觀感

這首流行搖滾, 節奏中板, Lamm的詮釋從容

［Saturday in the Park］登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃３（1972年終#76）

銷售逾１００萬張, 拿到金唱片　成為芝加哥當時最熱門的單曲

另拿到副榜──Easy Listening榜＃８　

加拿大亞軍　澳大利亞＃４３

由於單曲成功, ［Chicago V］讓芝加哥首度拿到美國Billboard專輯榜冠軍　至今賣出２００多萬張, 於１９８６年認證雙白金唱片

讓他們在樂壇地位更上一層樓
