FUGS_FREAK

                                             August 12, 2025

   A quick round up of some
   notable Fugs songs-- with
   emphasis on the album "It
   Crawled Into My Hand,
   Honest" from 1968.                     A record prominent in the old
                                          Brenner collection I grew up with.


       "Life is Strange"

      "Life is strange and death is easy
       Diamonds heart is full of mystery
       When will I know
       Where the swallows go?"                       TOADKEEPER
                                                     VILLON

       The psychedelic rock parody,
       "Crystal Liason":

       "In the great bowling alley of your mind
       I am your pin boy
       I am your *pin boy*!"



       "Johnny Pissoff Meets The Red Angel"

       "When the Red Angel Comes...
        And the TV is cold.
        Will you pray in the dawn,
        For the rest of your soul?"

       "Ahimsa oh Johnny Ahimsa
        In the spinning confusion Ahimsa
        In the flood of life, death and torture,
        Ahimsa, Ahimsa, Ahimsa, Ahim--im--sa"



        "Nothing" (by Tuli Kupferberg),
        which must be heard, not quoted.



   On one of the sets we had built
   as the high-school Stage Crew,
   behind one of the flats I noted
   that someone had written

      "Joe Brenner is an amazing Fugs freak."
