about

A simple song full of Dada art puns. To introduce a random element, I chose to spin a radio dial and record it for the final mix (not unlike what was done with I Am The Walrus). I did only very minor editing - what you hear on this track is within a few seconds of where it actually played out live during recording (I moved some pieces just to make sure they didn't overlap with my vocals). The spanking grandmother story is a superbly happy accident. I'd tell you the context of that radio show, but it's much less interesting than whatever your brain is trying to conjure.

Written 15 September 2005.

lyrics

When I was just a boy
my mama gave me a Dalí
I did not appreciate it

She tried to interest me
in the Mechanical Ballet
and the Diagonal Symphony

she would read newspaper stories
randomly at bedtime

every morning when we awoke
our beds would have to be readymade

She collected different kinds of currency
so I could go to collage
