This recording of songs from the Broadway musical Hair presented by C.C.

It begins, for example, with "Aquarius," but then later includes a version of the medley of "Aquarius" and the chorus of "Let the Sunshine In" that was recorded by the 5th Dimension, copying that recording right down to the exhortation, "I want you to sing along with the 5th Dimension!," which, under the circumstances, is impossible.
