Body electric

For those of you who have heard the song “I sing the Body Electric” the lyrics seem to relate to Wicca/pantheism in that is about how the energy of our bodies is one with the universe.
Now here is why I am bringing that up. I first heard the song as a child in the 1980s as the theme song of an exercise show called “Body Electric.” I thought the song was written for that show until the past week. I went on Wikipedia to research a movie from my childhood called “The Electric Grandmother.” I learned that it was based on a short story from the 1960s called “I Sing the Body Electric.” This prompted me to do further research to see if there was a connection to the exercise show and I learned that the song was from the soundtrack of a movie titled “Fame.”
Anyhow, what are your thoughts?
