[cover821]

[lacolonata]

a squid eating douh in a polyehtylene bag is fast and bolbous! got me? yes

[keyboardhero521]

Fast and Bool-bus!

[epenmedi]

I always thought this song sounded like avant guarde Dixie land... I miss Captain Beefheart.

[hezarrc]

Great!

[jefferyhoelscher]

That great guitar part in the second half is taken from the old song "Shortnin' Bread". When it begins chant in time "Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'. Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread." It makes a happy song even happier!

[kitthevideoman]

The words and lyrics are truly "out there".  I'm sure the lyrics are available somewhere.

[ManilaSyndicate]

My favorite of the man. Who knew that an avant-garde track could be warm and moving at the same time?

[lyonslaforet]

What's the use of such a record? To make us think about what a song actually is!

[131flora]

thnx for the post. this is the best song off this record

[rterrell10]

I musta listened to this song a million times! :) haha Well, I don't know how many, but I still love it, and like I said in a reply to a comment, it's one of my all-time favorite songs. We miss you, Captain :(

[eternalfeatus]

died a year ago today, a cigar in his name i say!

[hexonatapeloop]

is it about coming inside a condom- get me?

[Zzyxzaa]

This song is just amazing in every single way possible

[rterrell10]

@Zzyxzaa One of my all time favorite songs ever!!!

[LarsYenin]

Also, a tin teardrop.

[daleahill]

When she drives her Chevy, sissies don't dare to glance.

[asquideatingdough]

Hi there!

[TheLoropancho]

Pettinatoooo

[snakefinger]

I USED TO DRIVE AROUND AND CRANK THIS ALBUM, LIKE IT WAS, BORN TO RUN

[JohnnyBlondo]

Rock 'n' Bulbous

[Padabig60]

Don didn't like the comparison to Dolphy. He said comparing him to Albert Ayler would be more accurate. and he was right. Dolphy's stuff referred strongly to formal music. Don's only discipline was the blues, and HOW!

[Padabig60]

"round red sombreros...... wrap 'er high tap horsey shoes" .  DAMMIT!!!! who can touch this guy??!!

[Zigiwy]

0:48 --> Best drum part ever.

[mikegalsworthy]

lol 77 likes vs 2 dislikes!! - this is not a representative sample of the public. Most people didn't dare click on the freaky picture, and the two that clicked dislike were outta here pretty fast I bet....

[DonVanVliet83]

Best intro ever

[mountainhigh88]

a round sambraro...

(and she be as...)

smooth as a daisy...

[FastANDBulbous117]

Oh we got you Captain. We got you.



[reallyhappytrees]

ahahhahha one guy doesn't like this. call me cliche but that bull definitely missed the like button while dancing all fast and bulbous like. :) RIP don van vliet!

[vegansong821]

I can't stand that picture

[illustriouschin]

MS ruins everything.... Rest in Peace, Don!

[walliwalibus]

LOL..... Musical madness

[SDscum]

R.I.P Captain Beefheart

[taeke63]

The Captain exchanged the temporary for the eternal. Amazing work he left behind.

Your music will live on forever, Cap'n!

Quietly the rain played down on last of the ashes

Quietly the light played down on her lashes

She smiled 'n twisted she smiled 'n twisted

Hideously looking back at what once was beautiful

Playing naturally magically

[vernoncrouch]

The Cap'n defined "artist"; I am entertained and amazed every time I hear him. RIP

[ziggyplayguitar]

rest in peace captain beefheart :(

[KingOfWhiteTrash1]

A sense of loss settles over temporal reality.

Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, together again...

[TheUnderlingsMaybe]

@KingOfWhiteTrash1 Thats exactly what I was thinking, can't wait to see Zappa and Beefheart in the afterlife they aren't ready for them up there....or down there

[kelvinjayw]

RIP Captain B.

[msdork61]

rest in peace mr. van vliet - thanks for the incredible music.

[eggflipsupreme]

...cosmic warped funk brainrot, with a dash of parallel reality......

[Frisbieinstein]

Forever Amber: erotic novel from the old days.

[ripkurdt]

Captain Beefheart is amazing, got me?

[MrUntranslatable]

For the first 55 secs the demented bass is the only thing holds the song together, and you think, "Who the hell are these clowns?" Then it builds an ominous groove that makes you wonder if you might not actually be in the presence of musical genius, and when the guitar lick at 2:24 kicks in, quickly followed by a demonic sax straight from the nightmare of an adolescent Tom Waits dreaming about Dali, then you know you are indeed blessed to be in such exalted company.

[ripkurdt]

@MrUntranslatable Best comment ever.

Seriously.

I love you.

[HolyFerdinand]

@ripkurdt I agree.

[HolyFerdinand]

ruining every genre of music at once.

[jdbankshot]

@HolyFerdinand dumbass, more like enhancing & expanding every genre. go listen to, oh, i dunno, celine dion or phil collins. check out the bbc doc about beefheart on ytube. if u still feel the same way after, you're completely hopeless.

[MegaBigA2]

@jdbankshot I think he was joking.

[HolyFerdinand]

@jdbankshot IT WAS A JOKE G-DAWG. I'm a huge fan of beefheart lol. Phil Collins, however, is the anti-christ. Of music at least.

[jdbankshot]

@HolyFerdinand my bad. i had just spent an hour defending beefheart with, or against, others. uugh. some folks just... well, you know. now, about phil.... what should we do? lol. for entertainment purposes, you may want to read my exchange with eloletenyi(whatever, close enough) on ytube's upload of ice cream for crows. worth it. may you remain fast & bulbous, sir. tapered also.

[merlinpi1]

that old squwa indian is the heaven where my sun-shines in twisted dolphy land the continuity of early orange county police brutality storiesbeating on hispanics and rich jewish zappa fans real hairy and she never cooks...perspiration on her upper-lip area.

[ToscanoRomano]

Non so cosa cazzo sia sta roba, ma mi piace, musica difficile.

Mi piace la musica difficile, meglio se è anche divertente.

[carmenputera]

Oh my God...XDDD

FROM NOW,THIS IS THE BEST BASS LINE EVER!!!

[traphouse8]

you got to love that fucking bass, man

[psyhobill5150]

classic

[kristalklass]

She wears her past like the present. I feel sorry for people who don't love this song.

[thehoaxbuster]

Got me?

[Ledzep69Man]

@thehoaxbuster Sure Why Not :P

[ManilaSyndicate]
