It's a nice simple ditty that doesn't really make good use of Yamaha Analog Synthesizer which is state of the art. Emerson Lake & Palmer were early users.

Using it for such a sweet basic melody is the punchline. Like using a jackhammer to hang a picture. It's a nice picture, but a tack hammer would have sufficed.
