The most ridiculous thing in a song ever is the exchange of words and grotesque snoring on The Velvet Underground's ''Lady Godiva's Operation'' (which is the second best track on ''White Light/White Heat'', by the way). Top this song with something better and I will mail you a pint of your favourite bitter. *
* Competition open to anyone reading this. |

I think the exchange between the husband and wife characters in The Residents' "Walter Westinghouse" is pretty fucked up.

Yes. I was listening to this earlier and thought that no matter what the subject in question is, what the fuck where they doing while they recorded it? It is more than slightly insane, at least if you think about ''songs'' as such. |

The mixing "technique" at work in that tune is a headscratcher for sure.

The phone conversation during "Tracy" by Mogwai is pretty odd.
The line "Little Brown Sausages lying in the sand" in that Tom Waits song from Bone Machine. Whenever Mark E Smith mentions Hovis in a song

I don't think so, and don't forget that Mark E. Smith took more than a trick or two for his vocal delivery off that album. |

Off Bone Machine? Thats from the late 80s/early 90s i.e. well after The Fall started, and MES hasnt really ever changed his style except for screeching a bit less and drawling a bit more.
I think the Mogwai one is a strange idea, the Tom waits one is Surreal imagery, and the Fall one is just funny. I guess what youre looking for is some combination of the three.

Mar E. Smith's favourite rock tune is the Velvet's ''Sister Ray'' and he publicly lauded Lou Reed for beating the shit off David Bowie in some restaurant in Kensington, once.

sorry i thought you meant he nicked vocal tricks off Tom Waits I dislike both Bowie and Lou Reed so the idea of them having a fight is pleasurable.

nulled because the person narrating this was a compulsive liar who called the show every day with a similar story. thus, not real. --- i'm not very sure about this thread, but i'll say that the track in whitehouse's bird seed with the girl(s?) talking and every movie sample used by xxx maniak. |

Third verse, 'Mutiny in heaven', The Birthday Party - voice three in background shouts "1, 2, 3, 4...". Everyone else on the track fpays no attention. Last Verse, 'Dr Bucks Letter', the Fall "[...]they made such a fuss about givenittame [snort] and I [laughs] I spend more time getting it turned down" When the guitars come in on Living on a prayer, Bon Jovi. Rather than make the farty bassline less pronounced, they actually emphasise its fartiness. The second inexplicable drum solo on the Shaggs' foot-foot. "I'm serious as cancer/ when I say rhythm is a dancer" Prince - "Baby baby baby baby..." I want U. And by that token, the whole of the Make Up's In mass mind. I may mull for a while longer.
