__NOTOC__
"'Ride My See-Saw'" is a 1968 single by the English progressive rock band the Moody Blues. It was written by the band's bassist John Lodge, and was first released on the Moody Blues' 1968 album 'In Search of the Lost Chord'. It was the second of two singles from that album, the other being "Voices in the Sky".
'Billboard' described the single as a "blockbuster rocker" that "comes on strong with all the ingredients to spiral [the Moody Blues] to the top in short order" and a "mover from start to finish." 'Cash Box' called it a "dance track with powerful teen attraction" and "polished vocals."
