In #282 Sean Colbath asked:

    Can anyone tell me what group wrote/performed the song '2525' (I
    think that's the name)?

This incredible turkey (one man's opinion;  no flames, please) was
penned and sung by one Zager and one Evans (I don't remember their first
names).  As I recall, Zager and Evans were a duo from Nebraska or
Kansas who hit the regional charts with this ditty.  From there it
spread like cancer to the national charts.  As far as I know, they had
never had another hit prior to "In the Year 2525," and never had one
after it.
