The Odditorium - Circus Contraption

[DustWarden]

A bit of history if anyone’s interested – the “FeeJee Mermaid” was a standard exhibit at sideshows/freakshows in the 19th century. Usually they were created by sewing the (preserved) rear half of a fish to the front half of a monkey (or to a papier mache recreation). Our local historical society has a lovely example on display. And I just read a story which revolved around “pickled punks” at a sideshow, so I’d bet most of the oddities he names have historical roots. What a great song!

@DustWarden I just looked up "pickled punks" on google. I never should have done that.

For some reason this really reminds me of Edward Lear.

This is phenomenal!

I "discovered" them by accident when watching video by performance of The Indigo - tribal fusion dancers.

I must get this album!

My Gosh, it's freakin' AWESOME! The descriptions, the singer's voice...this whole vibe...reminds me of Cirque Du Freak on steroids :O
