Zager & Evans are only known for their immensely popular song In the Year 2525 (Exordium And Terminus), written by Rick Evans. It hit number one on the UK chart in 1969. Coincidentally, it was number one on 20 July 1969 in USA, the date of the first manned moon landing by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and spent six weeks on the Billboard Top 40. It was nominated for a special Hugo Award that same year.
The band signed with RCA records, who claimed they were "The Next Big Thing", but follow-up singles, such as "Mr. Turnkey", went unnoticed by the public.

Fish Fingers & Custard
Their first hit was a depressing look into the future of mankind which ends with humanity being nothing but vegetables.
They followed it up with Mr Turnkey, a song about a r@pist that crucifies himself.
This song is about a serial killer that instructs his taxi driver to take him to various parts of the city where he can commit his crimes.
Why didn't these two achieve lasting fame?
Montreal Screwjobber
They had another record called Fred, that was about a psychopath who killed 13 men.
BIG AL ONE
Taxi Man
Take me down to the back streets Taxi Man,
take me down, take me down low.
I wanna find me a cop in the ghetto, Taxi Man,
take me down, take me down low.
I wanna see if knows how to cry
I wanna see, I wanna know.
Take me down to the back streets Taxi Man,
take me down, take me down low, take me down low.
Take me up to the mansion, Taxi Man
take me up, take me up high, alright?
I wanna find a rich executive, Taxi Man,
take me up, take up high.
I wanna see if he knows how to cry
I wanna see, I wanna know.
Take me up to the mansion, Taxi Man
take me up, take me up where I wanna go.
Take me over to the right side, Taxi Man
take me over where I wanna go
I wanna find me some hogs and consertives
take me over where I wanna go.
I wanna see if they know how to cry
I wanna see, I wanna know.
Take me over to the right side Taxi Man
take me over, take me over where I wanna go.
Take me over to the left side, Taxi Man
Take me over where I wanna go
I wanna find me some doves and some liberals
take me over to where I wanna go
I wanna see if they know how to cry
I wanna see, I wanna know.
Take me over to the left side, Taxi Man
take me over, take me over where I wanna go.
While we're goin' left, right, up, down, Taxi Man
let me tell you why I wanna go
I wonder if these people have forgotten how to cry
Taxi Man, I wanna know
I wonder if they've become like the cow birds
shovling everybody else aside
I wonder if they've become like the rocks
Taxi Man, can't they feel, can't they cry?

Thank you for the lyrics Mr. Big One

I think it was the juxtaposition of the lyrics which were a rather somber statement of an uncaring populace against the decidedly jaunty music that prevented this from becoming better known.

You don't need to church it up. People were shit back then and it's only become worse ever since.
