Answer 1

Tesla did the cover on this song years later.

Answer 2

Signs is a 1972 song that greatly popularized the somewhat unknown Canadian rock group simply dubbed Five Man Electrical Band, who wrote and performed it for their second album, Good-byes and Butterflies. The lyrics explain how our world is filled with simplistic literature and express many difficult situations that the common man experiences. "Signs" was originally released in 1970 as the B-side to the unsuccessful single "Hello Melinda Goodbye". Re-released in 1971 on the A-side, "Signs" reached number 3 on the Billboard charts. The song was famously covered and recorded live by Tesla for their Five Man Acoustical Jam album in 1991, peaking at number 8 on the Pop charts. The opening line of the song was sampled by Fatboy Slim for his song "Don't Let The Man Get You Down", from his Palookaville album.

Answer 4

Signs - Five Man Electric Band
(1972)

Tesla covered it.

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you the right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here

The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Sign
Sign, sign

Answer 5

The original was by the Five Man Electrical Band, in 1972, but you may be referring to a remake - which might be Tesla, or Fatboy Slim. Wikipedia has some interesting info on it. I've included the link below.

Answer 6

Signs...Five man Electrical Band, this is the original one from around 1971.

Answer 7

Star signs are completely irrelivant of greatness. In modern English schools, pupils born in September are more statistically likely to achieve success in sport than those in August, so you could judge the star sign in that way if you wished. The characteristics of people born under star signs are only similar by coincidence, if at all.

Answer 8

The original was by Five Man Electrical Band...but I think Tesla's remake was pretty good, too!
