I give to you the fantastic Nelly
And her performing elephants
An extraordinary exhibition
Of animal dexterity
From the jungles of darkest Africa»
«The elephant’s tusk is very valuable
But an elephant is very hard to catch
Elephants are extremely fond of oranges
Of which they consume enormous quantity»
nectar at it finest. sitting in our club house basement dwelling j going with the groove on happy as pigs can be staring at our green stars on the rock walls, heaven for the gang from the north bronx
Superb track from Roye and the boys. As previously mentioned, the Tab In The Ocean album is a bonafide prog classic and Remember The Future and this album are bloody good too. The horns on this track always remind me of t.v themes in the 70's. Exceptional stuff.
I love it. Every time I hear it, a massive elephant walking about comes to mind and I'm filled with joy. Gotta love Calvert as the ringmaster too. What a character he was. Very Zappa-esque with that horn section.
Just a beast of a song. Someone stated it was there "Sargent Pepper'. That may be an under statement. They hit there groove on every song on this album. Just a monster.
Got a good stereo?
it sucks that i was never around to hear this kind of music. Im only 15 and im happy im discovering all these bands. To bad ill never hear them live on stage...atleast ive got it on vinyle!
LOL i bought the Bebop deluxe album too! Yes there's been many changes in the music industry but I do enjoy the new technology which gives us instant access to just about artist plus its allowing the young generation exposure to those greats. never dreamt my 10 yo and i could sit down and enjoy Nektar together with the click of a mouse!
Peace
