Humorous and weird...

A good number of the names on the list have senses of humor... Frank Zappa, Ron 'Pate, Bruce Hampton to name a few. Others are funny because they're.... oh, well... odd. Flying Lizards, Residents and Deep Freeze Mice come to mind. Here's some of my favorite examples of tunes that are more entertainingly silly along these lines.

Apparently something went awry (for the 1st time) with the recording of this installment, hence it's lost in time.......... :(
