Jane Millerick

Happy Family, King Crimson from their 1971 album 'Lizard'; Peter Sinfield and Robert Fripp's little ode to The Beatles. There is even a portrait of The Beatles on the album cover, behind the green I on the album cover. An odd musical tribute in that it is virtually a jazz tune, with idiosyncratic piano from the noted British jazz player Keith Tippett. King Crimson was augmented during this recording session by two of Tippett's colleagues, Marc Charig on trumpet and Nick Evans on trombone. Happy Family, one hand clap, four went by and none came back./Brother Judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac./Rufus, Silas, Jonah too sang, 'We'll blow our own canoes",/Poked a finger in the zoo, punctured all the ballyhoo/Whipped the world and beat the clock, wound up with their share of stock/Silver Rolls from golden rock,shaken by a knock, knock, knock/Happy Family, wave that grin, what goes round must surely spin/Cheesecake, mousetrap, Grip-Pipe-Thynne cried out we're not Rin Tin Tin/Uncle Rufus grew his nose, threw away his circus clothes/Cousin Silas grew a beard, drew another flask of weird/Nasty Jonah grew a wife, Judas drew his pruning knife./Happy Family one hand clap, four went on but none came back/Happy Family, pale applause, each to his revolving doors/Silas searching, Rufus neat, Jonah caustic, Jude so sweet/Let their sergeant mirror spin, if we lose the barbers win/Happy Family one hand clap, four went on but none came back

This song is about the dissolution of the Beatles.

Sure it's genius, but to be honest... This just goes a bit to far.

Nutso tune ostensibly about the Beatles latter days, but may also be lyricist Sinfield's take on his own Crimso band's quick dissolution after the success of "In The Court Of…" Haskell's sing-song vocal is bizarrely distorted, to the point of incoherence. Musically one hears the input of pianist Keith Tippett's avant-jazz group Centipede fighting against any kind of pop groove. That I think is the joke Fripp was going for here: attempting to one-up the "experimental" Fab Four's notion of psychedelia. There is fantastic use of reverb, panning, and distortion. Still, an unlikable tune. The album cover art (best seen full size on LP) illustrates the Beatles connection.

KC were way ahead of their time. They would experiment with various household objects to get different sounds like singing into metal fire buckets filled to different levels with sand and water (for example). Pure genius

KING CRIMSON - MUSICAL GENIUSES.

I have no idea what they did to get his voice like that, I've never heard another vocal distortion like this before. Amazing considering I've never heard another vocal effect like that before, especially since this is over 40 years old.
