Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Golden Birdies Lyrics






Those little golden birdies look at them

And the mystic Egypt tossle dangling down
Old sleeper-man shish, don't wake him
Up one hand broom star was an obi-man
Revered throughout the bone-knob land
His magic black purse slit creeped open
Let go flocks of them

Shish sookie singabus
Snored like a red merry-go-round horse
And an acid gold bar swirled up and down
Up and down, in back of the singabus
And the panataloon duck white goose neck quacked
Webcore, webcore

    Town Hall - New York City 1972
    I heard this band this set live == fantastic tight exciting perfirnace
    Full house - front row balcony
    The crowd was as electrified as the band ++ high as kite clouds of weed
    They started filling energy
    Used the stage
    Zoot Horn Rollo ace on slide guitar
    Unforgettable sound and gig
    It's great to see this video' but wish we all had good video and sound that live set at The Town Hall

  3. N.... F....

    Im gonna BOOGLARIZE you

  4. M.... S....

    Lo fantastico de este video,es que estuvo en esta actuacion tres miembros de Mothers Of Invention (dos originales y uno que llego despues.
    Art Trip III.
    Eliott Engber.
    Roy Estrada.

  5. P.... S....

    Crazy man crazy. Those underwear are too tight for his head...it makes him think he can play the drums.

  6. W.... ....

    🎵Singer reminds me of Wolfman Jack😂🎶

  7. M.... M....

  10. W.... O....

    I see why the kids at the end of Hair Pie wanted to play with the drummer.

  11. T.... F....

    I almost made it 3 minutes. My dog left the room 30 seconds in.

  12. M.... f....

    It's like Tom Waits + Frank Zappa's love child on DMT in a 5th dimension

  13. a.... b....

    I cant get into this man .

    a.... b....

    Follow the drums and bass; makes it easier.

  14. T.... �....

    Tape up yer f holes people!

  15. m.... ....

    That drummer just replaced pepperoni pizza as my favorite human.

  16. F.... A....

    Sounds like a boot leg led zeppelin concert without any studio dubbing and layered fakery

  17. M.... B....

    Zany? Why does it have to be zany?

  18. J.... C....

    Frank Zappa's revenge ? White Panama Hat and a Wall Paper Suit ?

  19. M.... S....

    This is fuckin' best comment section on all YouTube.

  20. M.... E....

    Love the way their all Smacked off their Tits lol

  23. a.... G....

    Quite honestly this is looney music. Too much LSD

  24. E.... L....

    I can never unsee this.

  25. t.... ....

    Im missing something. Is this supposed to be good? Or "special"? An acquired taste?

  26. J.... O....

    ...this doesn't make me want to do drugs to watch it...this makes me think i NEED to do drugs... ;)

  34. A.... A....

    Their music and dress look about 7 years too late. Some sort of King Crimson wannabe band then they start the blues?? I dont get it. They should have stayed in the blues. They would have had a better chance.

  35. g.... ....

    More cowbell!

  36. e.... ....

    Emperors new clothes

  37. M.... ....

    Guitar Player with the Red Jacket Looks Like Skynerds Steve Gains:::

  38. T.... T....

    The sound reminds me of Zappa. Very complex almost a black page.

  39. J.... C....

    That's not exactly Kenny G on soprano sax.

  40. F.... ....

    Was this Beefhearts “Fat Elvis” period?

  41. I.... T....

    primal by design?

    I.... T....

    there is a difference between celebrating the flowering weed in the drain, then worshiping the drain itself

  42. S.... A....

    Are you sure this isn't CAPTAIN DICKHEAD AND HIS MAGICAL HEMORRHOIDS? please keep me posted? Confused YouTuber. Sami Abbott

  43. B.... C....

    And that was their hit song “Dying Cat”

  44. R.... F....

    Hope to see you again Captain, one of these old afternoons. 😎

  45. A.... J....

    Wtf !!!!!!!!!!!

  46. f.... ....

    daFUQ did I just watch? I don't follow it, I don't understand it, I don't even comprehend it, but I kinda sorta.....I kinda sorta DIG it!

  47. W.... S....

    This Is Shit .

  48. T.... G....

    Garbage...disgrace to musicians

  49. g.... ....

    detuned has fuck

  50. O.... v....

    If you love Captain Beefheart, then you have to listen to “Big-eyed Beans from Venus” and “Sun Zoom Spark.” His two marquee tunes.

  51. z.... z....

    Captain Beefheart is like Frank Zappa had a stroke and

  52. D.... S....

    I imagine everyone from the 70s smelling pretty bad… But it seems like these guys would’ve smelled extra bad

    D.... S....

    Probably smelled like old milk and trout.

    D.... S....

    Dave Sims Ahh, we did have indoor plumbing with bathtubs and showers back then.

    D.... S....

    No huelen como a los mugres milenials,a puro encierro de sus casas

  53. t.... d....

    ...or in this case, it's so bad that it becomes great

  54. F.... B....

    None of these guys look like they're on drugs. You're all level 1. All these comments sound like mk ultra hipster retards who heard these guys were hip, funky, and weird. Maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn.

    F.... B....

    U good?

    F.... B....

    @Zach Bell are you gay?

  55. T.... G....

    Great story about Elliot Ingber (extreme left with the face fuzz). Played with Frank Zappa & Mothers of Invention. Frank Zappa sacked Ingber cos he was playing his guitar at a gig without his amp switched on!! Turns out he was high on LSD & didn't notice. Classic.

  56. M.... M....

    Well. They had good drugs back then

  57. A.... ....

    I STARTED WATCHING THIS WITHOUT EXPECTATIONS AND SINCE THE 1:30 I'VE BEEN SMILING BECAUSE I FOUND GOLD , INVALUABLE GOLD , I REALLY FUCKING LOVE THIS

  58. B.... B....

    What's YouTube doing? First a random video by The Shaggs and now Captain Beefheart? Was this Joe Rogan's warning? Is this why he wanted me to take DMT? Where am I? What's going on???

  59. g.... a....

    Fantastically amazingly good boogie down band that is without question
    a great group of great musicians funky as you can boogie bet

  60. b.... H....

  62. J.... L....

    LSD is ONE HELLUVVA DRUG

  63. J.... L....

  64. D.... ....

    Pure Suck-o-matic . . . they have their decent moments but they are few and far between.

  65. O.... ....

    Great camera work at the beginning. Give yourself a raise.

  66. W.... ....

    We dont see drumers like that anymore

  67. B.... W....

    This is called an acid trip kids

  68. T.... G....

    Let's end the confusion about the band members. From right to left as you view;
    Bill Harkleroad (Zoot Horn Rollo)
    Roy Estrada (Orejon)
    Mark Boston (Rockette Morton)
    Art Tripp (Ed Marimba - drummer)
    Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)
    Elliot Ingber (Winged Eel Fingerling)

    Sorted.

    T.... G....

    Tom Gradwell Most played with Frank Zappa.

    T.... G....

    Yes, there was a crossover of musicians between the two groups.

  69. D.... S....

    Blind Melon Chitlin and his band.

  71. R.... H....

    Son, you got a panty on your head.

  72. G.... n....

    maybe this is cause i already listen to the mars volta but this sounds pretty coherent to me

  73. T.... V....

    I'm no saxophone player, but just now I've realized that Captain has a beyond obsure fingering

  74. J.... A....

    Like listening to a train wreck. It's heroin, cocaine and LSD all taken at once.

  75. C.... ....

    What in the hell is this and why did I watch it 😂

  76. J.... W....

    Someone call for help! Sounds like they are killing a walrus in the apartment nextdoor!!

  77. J.... O....

  82. P.... O....

    This is nothing but garbage.

  83. G.... S....

    Son, you've got a panty on your head.

  84. M.... M....

    What's the difference between originality and novelty?

  85. G.... S....

    Why is video from this time period so sucky?! I mean, let’s zoom in for an extended shot of the drummer’s foot stomping on the bass drum pedal!!

  86. U.... R....

    This is so bad.

  87. M.... R....

    Camera operator was fascinated with the kick drum.

  90. C.... ....

    I was bopin’ but then the vocals came in.

    No thank you

    (Dislikes incoming)

  91. P.... L....

    I missed the boat on this one. I will never understand why they parade this sick sick man around under the guise he's actually making good listenable music. I'm sensing this guy has a seriously debilitating illness. This song or songs""? I guess really do suck I mean why doesn't he go to " this is literally what a fart sounds like. A wet nasty fart. I wish he'd get hit by a train

  92. b.... z....

    Shades of Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention!
