Ride My See-Saw

About Ride My See-Saw

"Ride My See-Saw" is a hit 1968 single by the English progressive rock band the Moody Blues. It was written by the band's bassist John Lodge, and was first released on the Moody Blues' 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord. It was the second of two singles from that album, the other being "Voices in the Sky". "Ride My See-Saw" is one of John Lodge's signature high-energy rock and roll songs, and is sometimes regarded as his most popular composition for the Moody Blues, along with "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)". The single was released later in October 1968, with Mike Pinder's "A Simple Game" on the B-side. That track was sampled by Phi Life Cypher on the track "Free" on the album Higher Forces. The Four Tops' recording of "A Simple Game" went to #3 in the UK charts in October 1971. On the album, the song is preceded by the spoken-word piece "Departure", and laughter from the end of that track bleeds into the opening of "Ride My See-Saw". This introduction was not included on the single release. more »
