The song was released as the lead single from their sixth studio album, Breakfast in America (1979), in March 1979 by A&M Records. "The Logical Song" is Supertramp's biggest hit in the United States and the United Kingdom. "The Logical Song" rose to No. 7 in the UK and No. 6 in the US Billboard chart.[2] Paul McCartney named "The Logical Song" as his favourite song of the year.[3] "The Logical Song" also appeared on Supertramp co-founder Roger Hodgson's live album Classics Live. Composition and lyrics"The Logical Song" was written primarily by Roger Hodgson, the lyric based on his experience of being sent away to boarding school for ten years.[4] It was a very personal song for Hodgson; he had worked on the song during soundchecks, and completed the lyrics and arrangement six months before proposing it to the band for the album.[5] In 1980, Hodgson was honoured with the Ivor Novello Award from The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters for "The Logical Song" being named the best song both musically and lyrically. "The Logical Song" also has the distinction of being one of the most quoted lyrics in schools.[6][5] Hodgson has said of the song’s meaning: "'The Logical Song' was born from my questions about what really matters in life. Throughout childhood we are taught all these ways to be and yet we are rarely told anything about our true self. We are taught how to function outwardly, but not guided to who we are inwardly. We go from the innocence and wonder of childhood to the confusion of adolescence that often ends in the cynicism and disillusionment of adulthood. In 'The Logical Song,' the burning question that came down to its rawest place was 'please tell me who I am,' and that's basically what the song is about. I think this eternal question continues to hit such a deep chord in people around the world and why it stays so meaningful."[7][8][9]{{rp|3}} The lyrics have been said to be a condemnation of an education system focused on categorical jargon as opposed to knowledge and sensitivity.[10] Supertramp co-founder Rick Davies wrote the vocal harmony on the second chorus.[12] The song makes use of keyboards, castanets, and an instrumental section.[2] Among the contemporary sound effects in this song are the 'tackled' sound from a Mattel electronic football game[11] and the Trouble "Pop-o-matic" bubble{{cn|date=February 2018}} – both popular at the time this song was released. Critical receptionRolling Stone called the song a "small masterpiece" praising the "hot sax" and Hodgson's "wry humor".[10] The magazine also made comparisons between Hodgson and Ray Davies from the Kinks.[10]Commercial performanceThe song was a hit on its original release, reaching No. 7 in the United Kingdom and No. 6 in the United States.[2][12][13] The song also spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Canadian RPM Singles Chart, was the top song of the year, and was certified Platinum in Canada.[14][15] It stayed for three months on the Billboard Hot 100 in the middle of 1979.[2] Personnel
