04/10/2008 | The b- side of their first single in 1966, a huge British hit called "Night of Fear" which borrowed the riff of the 1812 Overture and could arguably be added to this list, though it is really more about nightmares. This is a somewhat humorous, whimsical , odd pop song about a man who gets dropped on his head as a baby then becomes more insane as time goes by- by the time he's in his 90's he's racing around in jets because his sports car " ain't quite fast enough." The ending part is creepy proto- psychedelia with mad scientist voices, Frankenstein- like roars, and an off kilter musical backdrop. Strange, but very good.
