Thanks Linda! I read the post before I read who the author was -- and I guessed correctly. Maybe it was your Python/Rutles posts in the past that gave you away. Anyway, I have always been tempted to buy the Bonzo's stuff, now I have the extra motivation to do so. So thanks for the info.

Funny, I was just thinking the other day of the Bonzo's lyrics. My boss always includes those motivational quotes at the bottom of her email memos (which somehow never seem relevant) and I was thinking of adding some weird and irrelevant Bonzo Dog Band quotes to the end of my email replies. But I'm not sure I want to come across as more of a smart-ass as I already am.

I bought a few of these titles when they were reissued by One Way, but those had no bonus tracks. I might pick up a few of the new ones for the right price.

Beatles fans will know that the Bonzos appear in Magical Mystery Tour, performing "Death Cab for Cutie" in the tent for the male bus riders. And, I assume, the band "Death Cab for Cutie" took their name from the song title.

A heads-up for Bonzo collectors ~ Amazon has dropped the price of their live reunion album by 65%, it's currently only $10.97 which is awesome for a 2-CD import:

Good tip, Linda. Coincidentally, I just ordered this off Amazon yesterday. (I didn't see this post until now).
