SP1KE MILLIGAN - THE Q5 PIANO TUNE / N1NG NANG N0NG (7", 1969)

Two short BBC radio tunes from the creative polymath and comedic genius. "Ning Nang Nong" is a funny, oriental-sounding little country and western ditty whose lyrics go from something like "Old MacDonald's Farm" into a translingual glossolalia. Nothing can prepare one for "Q5" however, a surreal soundpoem ragtime collage piece of hilarity. Clearly this is one of the most delightful things committed to vinyl.

Dream it...
