I'm here thanks to Newt Gingrich! Next I'll listen to "Life is a Long Song" and get my JT high on. And how about "Wondr'ing Aloud, Ladies, One White Duck, Quizz Kid. And finish with both sides of Thick as a Brick. Thanks Newt!
Far out, I bought this vinyl LP when it first came out, it provided quit a bit of entertainment, particularly this track... "You can put him in your Pouch" the articulation of that makes me smile.
What a great era for artists back then, I need to go find this and put it on the turntable and groove on it again
@Smusie O my dad used to do that all the time when i was a kid, we had the vinil album too and i loved it. He still randomly sais You c(k )anGAROO from time to time :P
The LP had this track split over the two sides. The track stopped at 2:37 and a "Hannah Barbera" like sound effect was heard before the needle went on the run off groove. On side two "Hare" picked up where the piano & strings played. The Mobile Fidelity CD has the sound effect. I think some other CD versions have the song uninterrupted. Oh, if anyone didn't know, the white faced yellow suited clown at the beginning is John Evan.
@MarcusVermilion I still remember going to sleep to this album in my youth and waking to the "Hannah Barbera" sound, needle running off and the mechanical sound of the record arm retracting and seating itself. Then back to my slumber. Aahhh, good times.
No movie that I'm aware of but this short feature was shown during Tull's 1973 A Passion Play concert tour. You would never guess this had anything to do with a rock band if you didn't know the story behind it. But it was one of the most unique concerts I have ever been to. Look at the Passion play album cover. It was shown on screen before the concert began with the lady slowly rising to the sound of a dramatic heart beat. Looked more like the start of a horror movie than a rock concert L0L.
@Vipguy2003 you lucky b******! I was way too young but would've loved to have seen it. I only heard of this vid two years ago after well over 20 years of listening to Tull!

@Smusie I occasionally get the same thing! He never stops at the first line but follows through and recites the whole thing

Ian Anderson is in the video as a cameraman, but the narrator is band member Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond.
