Let the sunshine in: 2 perspectives

As they say, compare and contrast. An energetic group of young performers sings Let the Sunshine In in Washington Square Park, before they meet author Jim Rado (one of the co-authors of the rock musical Hair). It's a great song and I just love the expression on Rado's face towards the end of the video as he greets the singers.



At the other end of the spectrum, from Sweden, one of the campiest, glam-dance bands around, Army of Lovers, interprets the same tune. I wonder what Mr. Rado thinks of this. I imagine he's all right with it as long as he gets his royalty check.
