his claim in the article that it means "25 or 26 to 4" fails on 2 counts -- ppl rarely express times around x:35 as "25 to/of"...usually those only kick in for the last 15 (sometimes 20) mins of the hour. not 25. much less 26! and while someone CAN express "25 or 26" as "25 or 6" in casual speech, the meter of the song seems all off.

Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The self-described "rock and roll band with horns" began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. The group had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Chicago Transit Authority was a success, yet Chicago is considered by many [by whom?] to be the group's breakthrough album, yielding three singles that made it into the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, including "Make Me Smile" (number 9), "Colour My World" (number 7), and "25 or 6 to 4" (number 4).
