Here we go, kids, a special Halloween treat. This is an audio rip from the first episode of legendary British children's show Do Not Adjust Your Set. The show helped cement the TV careers of 2/3 of Monty Python, not to mention today's musical contributors, The Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band (official wiki AMG).The Bonzos included Vivian Stanshall (right) on guitar and lead vocals (he was known to do a killer Elvis impression, featured during the band's performance in Magical Mystery Tour) and Neil Innes on piano and vocals. The Frankenstein Monster in the middle of the picture is Sam Spoons, who plays a nice solo on the spoons in this song.
I have several other performances by the Bonzos of this song, but I'm fond of Viv's spoken interlude in this, and the chaos the song descends into at the end. More spooky stuff to come -- stay tuned!

THANKS FOR THIS POST AND YOUR GREAT SITE. THE BONZOS RULE! IF YOU HAVE TIME IN THE FUTURE MAYBE YOU COULD POST SOME OF THE OTHER SONGS THE B.D.D.D.B. PERFORMED ON DO NOT ADJUST YOUR T.V. SET. THANKS AGAIN EITHER WAY. TAKE IT EZ, PAT
I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT ERIC IDLE OF MONTY PYTHON GAVE CREDIT TO THE BONZOS FOR GIVING HIM THE IDEA TO MAKE THEIR SKITS EVEN WACKIER. I SAW THIS RECENTLY IN A PYTHON DOCUMENTRY ON THE IFC CHANNEL. TAKE IT EZ, PAT
That's a good idea -- I'd like to rip all the audio anyway, for my collection, so when I do I'll put it up here.
I haven't seen the latest Python doc yet -- hopefully I'm getting a DVD for Christmas. Looking forward to it!
Thanks for your kind comments.
