Toronto band "Syrinx" did this song "Tillicum" that was the opening for the classic T.V. show "Here Come the 70's." The song sounds like something from a party on Mars. It has a very "futuristic sound" that was perfect for the broadcast.
The show's opening (see 2nd clip-the actual video from the show) was very controversial when it first appeared in 1970--for obvious reasons. Those were very different times. On Sunday nights shows like "Hymn Sing" were the staples--a completely different world than the one we know now.
Then this "intro" and show saw its debut. There was widespread debate about whether the CRTC censors should remove it but I don't believe it ever was.
I believe the band "Syrinx" is still around to this day but you won't hear this song on too many Sirius 1970's radio hit stations. Yet another long lost Canadian classic that seems to be lost in the vaults of time.
