Rechristened as Zoot Horn Rollo, guitarist Harkleroad recalls what it was like to live, record and play with a temperamental genius such as Captain Beefheart on landmark albums such as Trout Mask Replica.

Rarely Heard: Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Autumn's Child

Captain Beefheart - Autumn's Child - MyVideo

I don't think I'll need to explain much about Captain Beefheart - and His Magic Band. If he's not actually rarely heard, he's certainly not heard enough. I've been a fan since my teens and I still lsiten into his albums on a regular basis. Autumn's Child is in IMHO his prettiest song from their debut album Safe As Milk which is a fairly approachable album compared to his late 60s classics (which I will be presenting over time as well.

Of course I have this album already (one of my alltime favourites!), but this is a new edition by the Zappa Family Trust remastered from the master and original 'safety' tapes.

A Song a Day

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Lick My Decals Off Baby

Captain Beefheart is one of the Gods of my musical life. Sometime in the mid 70s I heard him in my favourite Bavarian radio program. The DJ was Carl-Ludwig Reichert and he was presenting unusual Blues songs. It was The Spotlight Kid, which is unfortunately not available as video. But that song changed my life...



Rather than I want to hold your hand,
I wanna swallow you whole
'n I wanna lick you everywhere it's pink
'n everywhere you think
Whole kit 'n kaboodle 'n the kitchen sink
Heaven's sexy as hell
Life is integrated,
Goes together so well
'n so on
Well, I'm gonna go on 'n do my washing
Well, now you may think I'm crazy but I want you to
Lick my decals off baby
'n I don't want you to be lazy
'cause it's drivin' me crazy
'n this song ain't no sing-song
It's all about the birds 'n the bees
'n where it went all wrong
'n where it all belongs
'n the earth all go down on their knees
lookin' for ah little ease
She stuck out her toungue 'n the fun begun
She stuck out her toungue 'n the fun begun
She stuck it out at me, 'n I just thumbed my nose
'n went on washing my clothes
