"In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus)" is a hit song from 1969 by
the Lincoln, Nebraska duo Zager and Evans which reached number one on
the Billboard Hot 100 for the six weeks commencing July 12. The song
was written by Rick Evans in 1964 and originally released on a small
local record label in 1967. Two years later, an Odessa, Texas radio
station popularized the disc, which RCA Records quickly picked up for
nationwide distribution.
