I love you, Rita, but why is everyone losing their mind over a fart cloud?

This is such a lovely song!
Lyrics speak of family concerns and such things.
I just loved the vocal backup ladies' gestures (I always recall Pink Floyd's P.U.L.S.E. because of them).
I doubt they would have thought (then) how their hand movements and how involved they seem to be in doing their bits - would be remembered by some random guy (me) decades later, who would now (after many repeat listens) make a special note appreciating them and being grateful for their lives.

Interesting how some songs live/struggle/fight/endure/thrive - Trivia/Versions:
It was written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins ('eventually' released in 1970).
This was on John Hurley's 1970 album 'John Hurley Sings about People'. (No, I haven't heard of him. I know I should at least read up a bit on him.)
However, this song was first sung in January 1967 by the Four Preps. (That's at least two/three years between the original writers' writing and release.)
Versions/Covers:
1967: Everly Brothers, Wayne Newton, Waylon Jennings
1968: Irish artist Joe Dolan and his backing group the Drifters, Leonard Nimoy (yes - Mr Spock)
1969: Soul group the Winstons
1970: Nicky Thomas 'reggae-inspired version'
1982: Paul Young (didn't chart as a Single), the band Stiff Little Fingers
1983: Paul Young - redone and re-released as a Single (again), this time it charted at #2 in the UK, #1 in Ireland, Italy, Netherlands; this version includes a solo by 'ska and reggae trombonist Rico Rodriguez'.
1994: Reginald Kenneth Dwight (yes - Elton John)

Lyrics:
.
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? Mmm…
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
But you know she'll get by
.
[Chorus]
'Cause she's living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to [Wow]
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can [Wow]
(So cold)
And she can…
.
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
(It's a good thing, ouch)
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
(Ow, ah, ah, yeah)
You gotta walk into town to find a job
(What's it now?)
.
Trying to keep your hands warm
(It's so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone
(Brrr, cha)
Somehow you'd better go home where it's warm
.
[Chorus]
.
Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit [Double Wow]
(The closer the knit)
And the chills stay away
(Ow, ah, ah, yeah)
Just to take 'em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
(Ooh, now, ooh, now, ooh, now)
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray [Mmm]
(Forget to pray)
Just making it strong where you belong
[Chorus versions]
