Nurse with Wound - You Walrus Hurt the One You Love

I just check YouTube to see if you were making that one up. You weren't.

[Modesty Forbids]

Nurse with Wound - You Walrus Hurt the One You Love

I just check YouTube to see if you were making that one up. You weren't.

Did you play it, fange? Certainly fits the description.

And in a similar collagist spirit, I should have nominated Olivia Tremor Control's Green Typewriters suite from Dusk at Cubist Castle

[pcqgod]

First five that come to my head:

"Path Through the Forest" The Factory
"Green Eyed Lady" Thinking Fellers Union Local #282
"Inhaler" Hooverphonic
"Up in my Mind" Spontaneous Generation
"Long Days Flight 'Til Tomorrow" Electric Prunes

[Darkness_Fish]

Nurse with Wound - You Walrus Hurt the One You Love

I just check YouTube to see if you were making that one up. You weren't.

It was just the first NWW track that sprang to mind. I do love it though, there's so few songs that are sonically funny, rather than lyrically, and this cracks me up.

[toomanyhatz]

Hard Coming Love - The United States of America
Rapture - Judy Henske and Jerry Yester
Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya - Dr. John
See Emily Play - Pink Floyd


aaand...

A Day in the Life - Some Liverpool Chancers

"Up in my Mind" Spontaneous Generation

Oh! excellent

[Sneelock]

Hendrix - 1983 (a merman I should turn to be)

...and 4 others.

[naughty boy]

Red Sky at Night - The Accent
Smell of Incense - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
2000 Light Years - The Stones
