I like Captain Beefheart, and I think I understand what he was trying to do, but I find it surprising that folks want to call him a genius. It seems to be that not being a genius was part of his project, and it seems to me that he was successful at that.
I have a horrendous eye infection at the moment and the area below my left eye is so swollen that I thought to myself the other day 'fast and bulbous'. Also, a tinned teardrop.
I took this to "Music Appreciation Class" when requested by my professor to get the weirdest piece of music we could find. I kinda won. Everyone was saying "fast and bulbous" by the end of the class.
A drummer friend of mine absolutely laughs out loud at this intro. I think it's okay to mention his name, isn't it? Is there some sort of YouTube privacy statement included? Maybe at the bottom of my Captain Crunch cereal box? No? Good. His name is Brutus. And he'll gnaw your ankles raw if you mess with him. --Keep rockin' my friends, and jammin' too!
If this song doesn't scare the shit out of you, you must have some powerful tinnitus. The screaming in the background combined with the fucked up ugly poetry read in such an annoying voice. It's absolutely beautiful, isn't it?
i listen to this song while baked and it was fucking crazyyyyyy, i saw a yellow background and some woman was beating me with a sock while she was complaining, it was amazing lol
People tend to misunderstand Beefheart. They think he was being weird for the sake of it. But he wasn't, his music is intensely expressive and emotional, it's kind of like musical expressionism. When I am in an intense, depressed or desolate mood, his music is the only thing I can relate to. You might say he was an emo ahead of his time (and a lot of emo bands have actually been influenced by him).
@ToscanoRomano I don't know but I think she went on to drive the school bus in South Park! I love this particular song because it's great to hear someone else reciting the words of Captain Beefheart. Woe is a me bop!
i want the lyrics to this song

Love the "...christ" at 0:24.
Even the other members of the band thought this was insane.

I love the way he says bulbous so that it sounds a bit like "bewl-bus" LOL Amusing.
I first heard this when on acid, and it didn't sound any more nor any less weird, just "different" :)
