I didn't even realize it when I answered Dog Hand's query above, but Gialmere's song engaged my memory. We've seen these two before. Oddly enough, I referenced them both in a single post!
Funny how I had an idea that it was The Coasters back then, but had no clue today!

I am only familiar with the first two (1950s and 1970s), and don't remember those lyrics.

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
See how the sun shines brightly
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here
Through the sunset in your eyes
Trying to make the train
Through clear Moroccan skies
Ducks and pigs and chickens call
Animal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five foot tall in blue.
Okay, there’s a pair from the same time period.

I said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight

I'm the instrumental theme from a 70's TV show that charted for two weeks as a top10 song. I feature the Minimoog synthesizer and am one of the first hit songs to use the (then new) instrument. Who am I?
Edit: Wrong, not an instrumental.
Quote: JoemanHow about the theme from SWAT?
Ooh sorry. A good guess though since the "Theme from SWAT" actually reached #1 on the Billboard charts. It did not, however, feature a synthesizer.
