the crazy world of arthur brown - spontaneous apple creation

[@Iakkhos9]

This is like Dr Seuss on acid

[@GatesOfGehenna76]

i remember that this was the first arthur brown song i heard...the lyrics and the sound was what really got me...glad i still own this album...

[@marcfedak]

I love that Crazy World of Arthur Brown -- the whole album, not just "Fire". Arthur Brown was quite the performer and distinct vocalists (with great power and range and interesting musical influences), plus Vincent Crane is on some pretty wild, perfectly suited organ playing. I can't remember though if it was Carl Palmer on drums or another drummer, but either way, the drums are driving and intricate.

one magical holloween night my 6th grade social studies teacher held a D&D game for a few of his favorite students. He greeted me at the door with a unicorn mask, a white formal dress military uniform and a sabre. This song was playing on a slowed down reel to reel tape. He also put some kind of reverb on it. quite possibly the coolest teacher I ever had.

[@Cheezsoup]

Sounds like a right freek.

[@RamenNoodlez258]

That teacher was dropping mad acid when he got home.

"and 3 million people told butter from stork" 😂 👍

[@Viczarratt]

This song was an accurate premonition of the apple iphone/android and the general trippines of meme/internet culture.

Tremendo disco, el tecladista fantástico

[@miguelangelherrerasantilla1609]

soundtrack of a horror movie! magnificent! is the "Stepheng King" rock!

[@catfishbates1]

as a young man who playd guitar this was a great song

[@alexlyons5856]

Fucking mint Fucking genius

[@boboyamyams]

This is actually how we all got the iPhone. But if one never came down from psychedelics until 2010

[@davegriffith32]

I've been trying since my teens to figure out how 3000 people ate one strawberry.

[@user-jn5ux1ct4r]

Dave Griffith , they were a very tiny 3000 people? But what was the spontaneous apple creation?

[@froggy556]

That's a metaphor for famine!

[@Viczarratt]

They ate one seed each?

[@TempInternetFiles420]

that the most bitchin' teacher i have ever heard of! and i might do that, reverb on slow reel 2 reel sounds awesome

[@zonalibrer3357]

Great example of Proto-Rap from Psychedelic white rock background. Don't forget *Zappa's "I'm The Slime"* .

[@LFORSK]

fantastic

[@RobertoGinsburg]

WHITE PROTO-RAP of the Psychedelic era was FRANK ZAPPA with songs like "Trouble Everyday (Watts Riot Song)" and "I'm The Slime"..Zappa is rhymin at the rhythm in those songs.

[@BigAndTall666]

This is the GOOD stuff!!! :-)

[@JosephCaravellaJr]

Brilliant

[@carlyscharactersliverpool5042]

Very theatrical

[@williamdowning1552]

You didn't see this coming at you 😎

[@williamdowning1552]

It will say don't order pizza 🍕😎

[@williamdowning1552]

Most of weren't born born yet 😎

[@keltyk]

everybody says he's a really lovely bloke-- it's kind of funny that his pantomime bogeyman vibe still manages to scare people--

[@ogrebattle22763]

@TheAgentChaos Well you must have had some really scary Arthur Brown nightmares...

[@narozzz]

This isn't exactly like Scott Walker singing "Titties 'N'Beer", but it's closer to that than anything else I've ever heard. Geez, AM listeners must've thought "Fire" was weird - they had no idea....

[@trollfinger]

I love this mental song

[@williamdowning1552]

Just play it backwards 😎

[@aelfredhauscarl]

he was a visionary everyone walks round with an apple in there hand. Ipod/Iphone anyone.

[@froggy556]

I think it represents the new age way of thinking! God told Adam and Eve if you eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you will die! But Satan told Eve you would NOT die, but you would be as wise as God is! The sixties were a time of experimentation with anything considered taboo!
