Any Favourite Whacky Songs/Instrumentals?

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I think this is called 'Ode To A Dying Cow' by Steve 'Wishbass' Wishnevsky

 

 

[Old Man Riva]

Mouldy Old Dough by Lieutenant Pigeon, though mainly for the Coventry connection rather than its musical merits..!

A particularly moo-ving piece of music...

[peteb]

Always loved this, but certainly somewhat eccentric...!

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:

You must have some real players in your band. That's very cool!

It was Tom Fowler who broke his hand. 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,

It was indeed, Tom Fowler👍

My bandmate (Mick) is probably as far removed as it's possible to be from a "reader".

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

That is straight up amazing! Fair play to the chap. The stuff of dreams.

[JoeEvans]

How about this, from an amazing bassist too?

And pretty much every Mr. Bungle song, really.

Agadoo, the Birdie song, Una Paloma Blanca, I could go on but I need to put my head under the cold tap...

[knirirr]

This one may perhaps be entertaining (I enjoyed the lyrics):

Not sure if this qualifies as whacky but it makes me laugh 😄

[Leonard Smalls]

Here's a slightly crazed instrumental, featuring micro-tonal guitar by The Fuze!

Ah, it was number 1 on the day I was born in Coventry. Maybe I should give it a listen...

[Maude]

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.

The Sam Brown one brought this to mind featuring Ginger Baker

Not quite what I was expecting when I clicked on the thumbnail. Don't think I'll be adding it to my playlist😂

Prog does have more than it's fair share of whacky moments - early Genesis, anyone?😉 Although, when it comes to prog, I think the correct terminology is "whimsy"😄

The Reverend has loads of great tunes with funny lyrics, he's a great guitarist too. This is my fave.......
 

 

[BassTractor]

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"?
