Little Spider Orphans
Speaking of Seussian slackery…I took a lot of inspiration at the time from the Flaming Lips, things like Hit To Death In The Future Head, and Mercury Rev’s Boces (still really good listens, if you’re into that sort of thing.)
If I’d had the balls or brains to orchestrate this one the way I wanted, I think it would have had a great big “Day In The Life” orchestragasm in there somewhere. That and floots. I luv floots.
P.S. Incidentally, Hit To Death is the Lips’ album that features “You Have To Be Jokin’,” a cover that’s still in my book all this time later.
Be careful not to step on a crack
For you might break an unsuspecting mother spider’s back
And that would leave her spider babies all alone
Little spider orphans in their little spider home
Before you tell me you don’t care
Think of the babies wond’ring why their mother isn’t there
How would you tell them mommy’s dead?
I’d hate to have that kind of pressure pressing down upon my head…
