I don't think the numbers are really very important, I think the song is about the fallibility of adults in the lives of children.
The song begins with kids being taught "orange" and agreeing unquestioningly "yeah that's right".
Then the numbers start. The same woman's voice that was also saying "orange" is now reciting a series of numbers. They start out in sequence, continue out of sequence, and then go completely nuts with "sixty-ten". The adult does not correct herself but stumbles and continues on.
Anyway, I'm not explaining this very well and certainly no one but the artist(s) know what this song was intended to "mean", if anything.

Aquarius Version 3 uses a different set still, after "sixty ten" the numbers follow as:

Aquarius Version 3 also features extra voiceovers, one of which sounds something like "I'm listening" And the other which I have yet to find discernable. Thought I would go ahead and clear that up.
I don't hear Just Fantasize at all...
As for the 666 thing...Marilyn Ferguson wrote a book called The Aquarian Conspiracy, and the symbols on the cover are said to mean 666. The book, in summary by one of the reviewers, was:
"Ferguson's idea was that the children of the '60's would introduce new ways of relating to different issues, challenging the old heirarchies of work, church, and home life. This would come about as the result of a kind of accidental conspiracy - different people in different walks of life individually pursuing the same philosophies. The result would be a new age defined by 'Transpersonal philosophy' and 'holism'."
WAY out there of me to suggest, but maybe this had to do with it? I doubt it myself even though, so I'm probably wrong!
The sum of the numbers from 1 to n is equal to the expression (n(n+1))/2, where n is some integer. And yes, setting n = 36, will yield 666 :)
Now OT: All this "conspiracy stuff" about BoC is very exciting, but I really wish I could find some more lyrics / texted samples of all the other BoC tracks (for instance the number called Corsair). Any of you know a place where this is possible?
