ELP "Tarkus" parody

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I found this on Progressive Ears; It purports to be a send-up of ELP's "Tarkus" and a satire of Prog in general. It sounds like they recorded it in a basement. It's kind of funny, but the vocals are bad.

Kind of an explicit album cover:

I think the sections actually correspond to the "Tarkus" movement structure, whoever wrote this did their homework:
Prologue = Eruption
The Scientist = Stones of Years
Rampaging Boner (Part One) = Iconoclast
Jizz Accident = Mass
Rampaging Boner (Part Two) = Manticore
Decision / Battle / Epilogue = Battlefield(?)
Epilogue = Aquatarkus(?)

I absolutely adore low-rent stuff like this, makes me think of Third Reich n' Roll or something.

I love the crappy names posted below in the lyrics: "Dick Wakeman", "Piss Squire", "Balls Bruford"

... "Peter Gabriel"

	Oh whoa! Somebody actually liked this, and listened to it! I posted it in the "share your music" forum a bit back. Yes, that breakdown is correct, but I didn't necessarily plan it that way. We recorded it in my living room, in one take each, all of the music is improvised on the spot. And yeah, I'm a huge fan of the Rez
