The song 10 or 20 years ago, before Tesla.... "Signs, signs, everywhere
there signs...clogging up the scenery....etc."

A folk singer in NH is looking for the original version.

It was a group called "The 5 Man Electrical Band", I think......seems like
it was released back in about '69 or '70.

From what I remember, it was about 20 years ago, and it was done by one of
those "one-hit-wonder" rock bands that came, went, and never were heard
form again.

You do have the makings of an EXCELLENT trivia question, however!

The original recording was by the Five Man Electric Band. Sorry, it seems
to have strayed from my 45 collection, so I can't offer any more details.
You might have more luck on a newsgroup oriented toward vintage rock...

The song was originally written by "The Five Man Electrical Band". IMHO is a
better version.

The first version I ever heard of this song
was by the Five Man Electrical Band, circa
early 1970s.
