The Clarietta Rag By.Kevin Ayers

[TheMarcoFaust]

Let's be honest. "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kyte" was out just the year before this little cute thing. Imitation of the most sincere form of flattery, but did Ayers ever admit this joyful and shameless copy? To get an idea of the difference in "thikness" between this and BeingFor, have a look at Eddie Izzard's version in "Across the Universe".

Great Song! Kinda like the picture, too.

The opening repeated bit is very like the Beatles' "For the Benefit of Mr Kite".
