Signs è una canzone del gruppo musicale canadese Five Man Electrical Band. Venne scritta da Les Emmerson e rese popolare il suo gruppo relativamente sconosciuto, che la registrò per il secondo album Good-byes and Butterflies nel 1970. Il brano era stato originariamente concepito come lato B del singolo di minor successo Hello Melinda, Goodbye.

Venne ripubblicato nel 1971, stavolta come lato A, e ottenne grande successo raggiungendo il terzo posto della Billboard Hot 100 negli Stati Uniti e la quarta posizione in classifica in Canada. Venne certificato con il disco d'oro per le vendite dalla RIAA il 30 agosto 1971.[1]

Il testo della canzone volge uno sguardo critico alle divisioni in classe e ai diritti di proprietà, dando voce a diversi giovani considerati disadattati.[2]

Il gruppo musicale statunitense Tesla ha eseguito una nuova versione del brano per il suo album dal vivo Five Man Acoustical Jam nel 1990, in chiave acustica e con alcune piccole modifiche nel testo. Il pezzo è stato pubblicato come singolo e ha raggiunto l'ottavo posto della Billboard Hot 100 e la seconda posizione nella Mainstream Rock Songs, diventando il maggior successo in classifica dei Tesla.

Il singolo presenta come lati B altri brani eseguiti dal vivo la stessa sera, tra cui anche Little Suzi, esclusa dalla scaletta finale dell'album.

Il gruppo ha nuovamente registrato il pezzo per il suo EP A Peace of Time nel 2007, ma stavolta in versione elettrica e con il testo originale.
