tauzero Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Presumably this isn't intended to cover comedic musicians, like Tom Lehrer, Flanders & Swann, Jake Thackray et al. There's all of Gong's "Camembert Electrique" for a start, and I like this very short track by Sam Brown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the bass player on the live "Roxy..." album I posted above. Listen to it and imagine your mate depping with that band for a night 😂 He must be a great reader! Thanks, Si It was indeed, Tom Fowler👍 My bandmate (Mick) is probably as far removed as it's possible to be from a "reader". https://wiki.killuglyradio.com/wiki/Mick_Rogers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Witch's Egg from the film Forbidden Zone....has a great vid too Cool in the Pool - Holger Czukay (from Can) Bombay Duck - Rick Wakeman. Sounds like a clown soundtrack if the clown has done lots of acid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I'm not sure if Ministry would ever want to be classed as whacky but Jesus Built My Hotrod is edging towards that territory... and is fantastic. Puts a smile on my face every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Whimsical Dutch Canterbury-like band Supersister always have whackiness up their sleeves. This long track suddenly turns into something else after roughly nine minutes. "Judy goes on holiday" is off the album "Pudding en gisteren", and if you don't understant this Dutch title: it was also released with the international title "Pudding and gisteren". See what I mean with "whimsical"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
