Let's see who's picked up on this one:
For a section of the vocal part on Incubus by Marillion, or specifically, "Betrayed by a porcelain tear", fish isn't singing this bit. Who actually is?

It actually is fish. What they did, is they took his voice, and did all this stuff to it. Slowed it down, then played that sped up and digitaly transposed or something like that. And thats how it happened.

I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

Really?
I read in an old magazine an interview with Fish where he mentioned it was actually Peter Hammill.

Pierre Moerlen, drummer of Gong, played with Magma for some time, but
didn't get along with Christian Vander. but what amazing drumming must
have gone on in Magma concerts at that time, with Moerlen and Vander
drumming together! (drool)

It was the Prince's Trust concert or something. Parts of it were televised at the time. I remember seeing them play the song Pussy Willow from Broadsword, and Ian making Phil laugh with his antics and exagerated movements during the song.

Zappa trivia, phase one:
Mick Jagger removed a splinter from Frank's foot while visiting him at his house.
Bob Dylan knocked on Frank's door in the early 80's to ask Frank to produce his next album. Frank respectfully declined.
On the album "We're Only In It For The Money", there's a voice saying, "God, it's God, I see God!". The voice is Eric Clapton.
