What's the trippiest, most psychedelic song you guys have ever heard?

I'm particularly fond of Soft Machine - "hope for happiness"
Mostly the long live versions.

Trippiest: Total Trash, Sonic Youth

Most Psychedelic: Something off Beach Boys Love You

For me it's more psychedelic when a, uh, troubled person attempts to make straight music, rather than a straight person attempting to make weird music.

I'm gonna go with the Elevators' "Slip Inside This House."

"Spirale Malax" by Lard Free.

Trippiest track ever?

novaheat makes a convincing case for the win though.

Butthole Surfers - "Cherub" (& "Concubine", "Whirling Hall of Knives", "Waiting for Jimmy to Kick", "The O-Men", "Johnny Smoke", &c., &c., &c.)

that really long track on that album by the new creation is hell of trippy

faust - why don't you eat carrots?

I wonder if a troubled person hears trippy different? I think WEEN's "she fucks me" is trippy as hell.

New Age Steppers' "Nuclear Zulu" = greatest weed track

― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 08:35 (eighteen years ago)

Golem II: The Bionic Vapour Boy by Mr Bungle is in the running.

It is really, really Bobb Trimble, though it's hard to pick a particular song.

If you don't believe me: http://www.weirdsville.com/featured7.html

(An honorable mention can go to the Suspiria soundtrack, I s'pose. And that Lula Cortes/Ze Ramalho album Paebiru. Again, I can't pick songs.)

Nurse With Wound "Swan Song"
Merzbow "Uluk Constitution"
Sagittarius "The Truth Is Not Real"
