Tunes
Going old school. Surprisingly fresh.
And just because.
Weird Songs that do yer head in...should not even exist...truly mental Trax!
Lincolnshire Anthem (Poaching Song)
Tune is as least 250 years old & has more covers than that...
Sounds rather innocent & is a quality little singalong ditty.
But it gets a little weirder when weird arse people trip out the tune.
Possibly coz it's mostly sung when pissed > Then they come up with these craziest covers.
If yer into Twilight Zone Trax then try yer luck with this Folk / DrWho / Pub-Punk Track
Original Folk Version

tbb was trawling thru Oz Charts & come upon this novel moral tune...
Jan 1951 "The Thing" #1 Oz Charting Song (Same Lyrics as Batman's Punk version)
Which led to fleshing this out ...thru a weird arse Time Warp of even Weirder Mutations.
Feb 1951 Tingen by Jens og Erik
1958 Flying Saucer / Alien Chipmunks by Bill Buchanan
Mid 70's Dystopian Techno "Underground Cult Version"
( Just go with it... then...Oh! Yeah...see wot ya mean! ) Wow! That's pretty fucked up...Huh!
Wait until the end...simply reverts back to the Ditty...Techno Goth Chick be like Wot..."That RAVE Code...Wot!"

Awesome! Is that ol'man costco playing his lute?
More seriously, very nice.
A bit of royalty passed today, the frontman of the Clowns.
@thermalben, pretty sure whenever i bumped into you in the city we were both either coming or going form a Clowns gig.
Absolutely legendary band and i know most South ozzies would have some fond memories of this band and it's phenomenal frontman. Rest in peace Mark Fenech, AKA Ocker Bozo. Voice of a generation really.
pretty great tribute, this clip and the youtube comments beneath
(reckon that's you in the crowd about halway through @southern)
Clowns of Decadence - Alien Sex Romp
here's to less relentless seppo political argy-bargy on this aussie surf site
Bored! - Junk (Geelong, 1992)
Hear hear!
?si=vA8vmH2pqtQXEPFJ ha, ewww.. quick look at Surfbort's bio, and they got their name from listening to this ode to sexualised alcoholism, at 3:12.. Sorfbort x 3

The Residents Commercial Album has 40 songs (Stands up well in time)
The Residents founded in the late '60's
Started recording during early '70's
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Residents
tbb is a typical fan that latches onto a period of works...from Mid '70's > mid '80's LPs
1974 Meet the Residents 1976 The Third Reich'n'Roll (Were back tracked)
As above...tbb and many fans were hooked via 1980 Commercial Album...well durr!
But first to intro the Companion UK Bluegrass Snuff Punker that backdoors these weird jingles.
Snakefinger likewise flies under the pre New Wave / Punk Radar as an Alt underground hog Artist
Pretty sure..."Man in the Dark Sedan" was too weird for ABC / MTV
You'd more likely see this on Wonder World as one of Johnno's Flip discs... Hey Kids > check the Freak!
Pretty much all these recordings are still considered alt Goth / Punk / new wave & that won't change.
Rare treat for the crew...just when ya thought ya worn out new wave...gotta go 'round again...proper!
That's why ya need Ben's Tunesmiths to lend an ear to wot ya need to hear...this was & still is the sound!
1978 Snakefinger : The Spot
1980 Snakefinger : Man in the Dark Sedan
1980 The Residents : Commercial Album...40 songs
9th Aug 1986 Oz Tour at Coolangatta Jet Club (Legendary Final Meeting of Tribes Gig)
Here's a real rare time capsule ...tbb can share a sample of wot that 1986 tour gig was like..
Sharing that mystical punk Snakefinger sadly passed away within a year...1st July 1987.
'It's a man's World' ( They record these '60's covers to crossover to Mainstream )
Great stuff, TBB. Hard to picture The Residents playing the Gold Coast. What a clash of style and culture.
Checking their tour dates, The Residents did 17 Australian gigs in August '86, including just two nights off from the 4th to the 21st.
Be some sweaty eyeballs after that.
for @seeds, yeh! embrace the bodybash..
if it's between that or being an aged carpark gawper..
Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.
Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.
