This is the strangest album I've recorded so far, The Fugs.

Not my cup of tea, and I see they have been around for a while.

The record is from 1970, BTW.

"Golden Filth."

They realized how bad they were and some of them did a stint at Julliard before doing their second album. I always thought Tuli Kulpferberg was a bit over the top but I loved it at the time.

My parents tortured us kids with the Fugs when we were growing up.
We even sang a verse of this at my father's funeral... Yes, we had the last laugh!!!
