FRIDAY RANDOM TEN - BLOATED GUT EDITION

Yes, it’s Friday. Not just Friday: it’s Bloated Gut Friday.

By now, the malls are already packed with frenzied, sweaty consumers. Considering that many of them are digesting bellies full of turkey, candied yams, pumpkin pie, and Gawd knows what else, it’s a good day to stay away. For that matter, it’s a bad day to be a midget in a department store elevator.

But let us not think upon such crude and earthy matters. No, let us contemplate the fine arts, specifically that most ethereal and sublime of the arts, Music.

Aw, fuck it. Let’s just listen to whatever shit Elisson’s Little White Choon-Box is playing. Here ya go:

1. Cours d’Amours - In Trutina - Christian Thielemann, Orff: Carmina Burana
   
2. Revolution 9 - The Beatles
   
3. The Blimp (mousetrapreplica) - Captain Beefheart
   
   Master, master
   This is recorded thru a fly’s ear
   ’N’ you have t’ have a fly’s eye t’ see it
   It’s the thing that’s gonna make Captain Beefheart
   And his Magic Band fat
   Frank it’s the big hit
   It’s the blimp
   It’s the blimp, Frankie
   It’s the blimp
   
   When I see you floatin’ down the gutter
   I’ll give you a bottle o’ wine
   Put me on the white hook
   Back in the fat rack
   Shadrach ee shack
   The sumptin’ hoop, the sumptin’ hoop
   The blimp, the blimp
   The drazy hoops, the drazy hoops
   They’re camp, they’re camp
   Tits, tits, the blimp, the blimp
   The mother ship, the mother ship
   The brothers hid under their hood
   From the blimp, the blimp
   Children, stop yer nursin’ unless yer renderin’ fun
   The mother ship, the mother ship
   The mother ship’s the one
   The blimp, the blimp
   The tapes a trip it’s a trailin’ tail
   It’s traipsin’ along behind the blimp, the blimp
   The nose has a crimp
   The nose is the blimp, the blimp!
   It blows the air, the snoot isn’t fair
   Look up in the sky, there’s a dirigible there!
   The drazy hoops whir
   You can see them just as they were
   All the people stir
   ’N’ the girls’ knees tremble
   ’N’ run ’n’ wave their hands
   ’N’ run their hands over the blimp, the blimp
   Daughter don’t you dare
   Oh momma, who cares?
   It’s the blimp, it’s the blimp!
