Let's see -- to keep up with the theme we must finish with the proper exclamation line!


Bonzo Dog Band - The Strain



As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

If any of you remember the band 10 cc  that did the song "I'm not in love"

Bet you never heard THIS song...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujh1P0Syjos

You probably never heard "Hotlegs" ... or even the stuff they did with "Ramases" ... ohh heck ... how about writing stuff for Neil Sedaka ... now that is a favorite for many old arm-chairs here! There's always Consequences for those of you with concept minded ideas ... trying to figure out how Woodstock and Peter Cook and Sarah Vaughn end up in the same piece and not mention Carmen!  Cambridge! ...

I love Todd.  

The whole "Wizard" side is magnificent ... and we forgot to record the funny animals!


They need to be represented here for Bapu and the audience!

Hi,

Here's a small list:

Frank Zappa needs no introduction. Way too many silly songs.

Guy Guden - Not as well known here, but had some great songs:
     - The Dawn of Rock n Roll
     - Barb Wirey and the Maulers
     - Poops and the Mydols

Masked Marauders - Even the Coffee House can't be this good!
     - Can't Get No Nookie
     - Cow Pie
     - Season of the Witch

Tom Lehrer - Yeah!
     - The Vatican Rag
     - New Math


Spike Jones - OHHH yeah!
     - Dance of the Hours
     - Minnie the Moocher
     - Liebestraum
     - Der Fuehrer's Face

Proctor and Bergman - solo during Firesign Theater's life
     - Nasi Goring

Alice Bowie - nothing needs to be stated here!

The Clams - satire on a certain song by a famous group!

PDQ Bach - all of it
   - Oratorio: Seasonings 1/2 tsp.
   - The Stoned Quest

Eno - Funny or weird?
     - Baby's on Fire
     - Blank Frank

This is for starters ... will take a look at my European/English collection 

... and then the Bapu theme song ... " ... let's take a trip ... down Whittier Blvd ... "


NP: For Strummy's listenig fun ... Funkadelic -- Maggot Brain (... and how close this is to Albinoni's best known piece!)
