I wrote it on a rainy day when I was feeling kind of lonely. I was thinking about a girl whose initials were K.A.F., and out of the initials popped Kites Are Fun. Russ Savakus plays the introduction on Fender bass and Chris adds a jaunty recorder solo to the group's singing. I like flying, flying kites. Flying kites, flying kites.
Kites are fun.
Flying kites, flying kites. Kites are fun. All three Dedricks contributed to this song, which Chris feels is the most exciting thing they have created so far. The lyric, Chris points out, expresses an attitude about the split between hippies and straight society. We're saying keep your eyes open to both sides of issues.
