The Association - Windy - 1967 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsY8l0Jg3lY)

I don't think that song is gay. I like The Association and went to see them in 1971 A good show.

Catchy tune with a bumpin' walkin' bass line, but they play the ever lovin' stool outta' that mofo locally. I'll bet I hear it 13 times a day easily.
