― Ian Riese-Moraine (Eastern Mantra), Monday, 21 February 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

What in the hell is the song that has a space alien sitting next to the narrator at a place called EAT? The alien smokes some space cigarettes before launching into a funky breakdown about where he's been.

I want to say it was done by someone like Zappa, but I have no clue.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 21 February 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

Oh, and the alien has a "chipmunk" voice.

Wait a minute - don't they sing guest backing vocals on Stranglers "Just Like Nothing On Earth", too?

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Monday, 21 February 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

backing vocals to "heart of glass" (listen to the "instrumental" ie sans debbie version). chris stein is weird.

THIS THING

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 21 February 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

**"Murphy's Law"-Cheri

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 21 February 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

pleasant plains, i think you might be referring to "the purple people eater" by (i think) nervous norvus (sp?).

"i wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough"

zat it?

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 21 February 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

By Sheb Wooley? "He was a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater..." No, that's not the one.

Not to get too localist on this international board, andrew, but Magic 105 used to play this alien song at two o'clock in the morning.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Monday, 21 February 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

yeah, sheb wooley. maybe it's not the one, but it does do the voice thingy. don't know the one to which you refer.

nervous norvus did "transfusion." i knew all the dr. demento would pay off!

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 21 February 2005 21:04 (twenty years ago)

The Melvins - "Skin Horse"

― mama brain, Monday, 21 February 2005 21:19 (twenty years ago)

bah, Guitarthur and the Ecstasy Defecators totally beat me to the only two I had in mind. Oddly, I thought Amos Larkin woud be the king of this but I'm not hearing any chipmunks in these Trinere, Connie and Debbie Deb tracks (well, Trinere's 'I'll be all you ever need' has some slightly pitch-shifted ey-ey-eyys but I don't think they count).

― Affectian (Affectian), Monday, 21 February 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

Sigur Ros - Untitled #1

― Cheek0 (Cheek0), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 00:32 (twenty years ago)

I love it, when alex in NYC makes mistakes or things like mistakes. he is too hard, on himself.

They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haaa -- Napoleon XIV

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

"Martian Boogie" by Brownsville Station is the name of the fucking song that I've been trying to remember about the space alien and his space cigarettes. Good grief, now I can sleep tonight.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 00:57 (twenty years ago)

Damn, I knew I'd heard Martian Boogie. I'm pretty sure I've got it on vinyl too.

Do muskrats count here? They can't be too far genetically removed from chipmunks. So I nominate Muskrat Love / Caprain & Tennille. Not sure if America's Version wheeled out the rodents.

The prelude to "You Can't Kill Me" on Gong's Camembert Electrique

― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

Isn't there one of these on Axis: Bold as Love? "We're speaking with Mr. Paul Caruso on the (dodgy?) subject of whether there are (or are not?) UFOs"

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 02:31 (twenty years ago)

nobody mentioned the Ohio Players yet? They've got like 10 songs like this. "Funky Worm" is probably the most famous one. I don't wanna check my lps right now but there are others.

and then I think Kool & the Gang answered them with "Funky Granny". Unless "Funky Worm" was actually the answer to "Funky Granny". Or maybe they weren't answer records at all, but it was merely in the air..

Pink Floyd - "Several Species of Small Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"

did someone already say "ants in the kitchen" by masters of reality? if not, then i will. do the p-funk/miami bass sir nose d'void of funk space critter voices count?

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 02:45 (twenty years ago)

Led Zeppelin - "The Song Remains the Same"

"The Witchdoctor Song" by David Seville.
In addition to this song and his chipmunks work, other career highpoints for the man who was David Seville and whose real name was Ross Bagdasarian were appearing as the musician in Rear Window and co-authoring the song "Come On-A My House" with his cousin, William Saroyan.

This thread reminds me- martin mushrush said he was going to dummy up a chipmunks track based on comments made on this thread.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 02:50 (twenty years ago)

i love those early alvin b-sides that seville did: almost good, mediocre, flip side, etc.

The entirety of Joanna Newsom's Milk-Eyed Mender. I can't believe I'm the first person to say that-- I thought she was going to be the subject of this thread before I clicked on it haha.

― lovebug starski (lovebug starski), Sunday, 27 February 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

Joanna Newsom doesn't sound like a chipmunk. She sounds like Lisa Simpson's art-school musical project.

Victoria Williams first lp happy Come Home. I think her voice dropped a bit on every lp since then but that really is chipmunk/helium. I quite like it though.
