The 'incredibly strange' music thread
Neville Thumbcatch Neville Thumbcatch worked daily at the mill, And at weekends, his allotment by the hill. He sank his soul in Mother Nature's bower, Growing some radishes and the occasional flower. Poor Mrs. Thumbcatch meanwhile waited back at home, Her only comfort was an alabaster gnome. Her husband lost sight of the wood amongst the trees, He was a man of Nature who forgot his birds and bees. Chorus Neville Thumbcatch you! Neville Thumbcatch you! Best things in life are free so just forget the cost. Enjoy your pride and you won't miss just what you've lost So Mrs. Thumbcatch left as soon as she was able. She took the dog, the cat and the budgie they called Mabel. She said at last her future now was free from doubts, With George the milkman she'd have kids, not Brussels sprouts! Now his allotment is a place that's never seen, Because he has to tidy up and cook, and clean. Sometimes sadness comes and then it's gone As 'The Neville Thumbcatch Show' goes on... and on... and on. Chorus |

Here's a tale, thats hard to tell The story of, my southern belle I hate to say, I knew her well And in no time, in love I fell She had a vice, one thing she craved I never knew one, so depraved She wanted one, before I shaved Of those, little pieces of Gherkin You are bedlam, she said to me Bedlam is madness, so can't you see You've got to make a sacifice And go to the grocers, I've been there twice The grocer man was very nice He worked alone, all by himself Then I saw upon the shelf; Two little jars of those green Gherkins Strangley enough, two jars of Gherkins I wondered if they'd made the grade Would they be worth, the price I paid They'd be right, I hoped and prayed 'Cause if they were, I have it made My southern belle was not impressed My Gherkin power, had failed the test And now she's gone, like all the rest For those strange little pieces of Gherkin Those starnge little pieces of Gherkin And when I hold your arms I wanna be near you, inside your charms Because, because, because, I love you, I love you so You make me wanna break down and cry Comme c'est dommage Qui, comme c'est diole Que je me trouve, tout seule. Le ciel si rouge La mer si bleu Into it, myself I throw. Peut etre, je suis Un "stupid French git", comme tout le monde dit...

You can have it both ways
  Napoleon XIV Napoleon XIV was the pseudonym of American songwriter and record producer Jerry Samuels (born 1938, New York), who achieved one-hit wonder status with the Top 5 hit novelty song "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!" in 1966. Biography In 1966, Samuels concocted "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!". The public found out the true identity when Cousin Brucie of WABC in New York outed him. Napoleon XIV continued to release music after the success of his one hit, including a Warner Bros. album of the same name in 1966 (reissued by Rhino in 1985), most of which continued with the mental illness theme (for example: "Bats In My Belfry"; and "Split Level Head," which features different vocal parts in each stereo speaker). While he did not achieve any further mainstream success, based upon the relatively recent cover versions of his hit song (see:"They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!"), Napoleon XIV has remained a cult favorite to this day. Samuels still writes songs and presently runs a business that books entertainment primarily for retirement homes. NOTE: The backwards version of the album title track does not appear on either the original or reissue albums, although the backwards title is listed on the front cover They're Coming to Take me Away, Ha-Haaa! They're Coming to Take me Away, Ha-Haaa! Napoleon XIV Remember when you ran away And I got on my knees And begged you not to leave Because I'd go beserk Well you left me anyhow And then the days got worse and worse And now you see I've gone Completely out of my mind And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa To the funny farm Where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men In their clean white coats And they're coming to take me away ha haaa You thought it was a joke And so you laughed You laughed when I said That losing you would make me flip my lid Right? You know you laughed I heard you laugh. You laughed You laughed and laughed and then you left But now you know I'm utterly mad And they're coming to take me away ha haaa They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes And they're coming to take me away ha haaa I cooked your food I cleaned your house And this is how you pay me back For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds Ha! Well you just wait They'll find you yet and when they do They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A. You mangy mutt And they're coming to take me away ha haaa They're coming to take me away ha haaa ho ho hee hee To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men In their clean white coats And they're coming to take me away To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes And they're coming to take me away ha haaa

Negativland
Good to see Negativland on here. I had their LP 'A Big 8-10 Place' back in the 80s. Nice to see Krishna & Narad Muni pics in the first vid too.
