I have heard a song which sounds like 1960s rock on the radio, and all I could remember from lyrics was like "where is the sun", "where are the girls", and "behind". But I am sure somebody could recognize what song I am pointing to, I mean the title and the performer.
One Christ. One Body of Christ. One Eucharist. One Church.

The only one that rings a bell is:
Where Have All The Flowers Gone? Pete Seeger

Peter Paul & Mary did it best.
Peter, Paul & Mary - Where Have All the Flowers Gone
No, I know "Where Have All The Flowers Gone".

I wish I hear the song once again, to remember more lines, but they sing it the way it's hard to distinguish words.
One Christ. One Body of Christ. One Eucharist. One Church.

If I'm not mistaken, either Bestbuy or Walmart has a unit you hum a few bars into and it tells you the name of the song.
I heard about it a few years back. Maybe you could search and see who has it?

Good job of finding it.   I can barely remember hearing it, if I ever did.  The title doesn't sound familiar.

Yeah, obscure at best, it got virtually no air play in the US.
I remember it because a neighbor had the LP, which his brother sent home from Europe where he was stationed.

'Spicks' in the title may've been changed for US radio-audiences.

Hmmmm....

It's a racial slur against Hispanics, from around 1910.  Derived from a border-mythos of 'constantly telling them to speak (in) English'...  'spig' evolving into 'spic'.

Always a possibility, but when this album came out, no one was that PC...Yet.
I think it wasn't a decade gone by, that complaints about the Frito Bandito were falsely alarmed by some obscure racist commie group and industry surrendered to such nonsense, but prior to that, most could have cared less about PC BS, kind of like calling Chinese Chinks, Italians Wops.

I don't know that the PC disease had yet hit the public larger than a mosquito bite, compared to the cancer it is today.
