Estranged Reality Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Crispin Hellion Glover presents...THE BIG PROBLEM ≠ the solution. The Solution = LET IT BEI've never been inside an insane asylum before, but I imagine this must be the music they play in the background.Who can ever forget the classic lead single, Clowny Clown Clown? This video will give you nightmares and if you have a clown phobia, it may just knock you over dead.Crispin Glover is the dude who played George McFly in Back to the Future, by the way.I was walking on the ground.I didn't make a sound,then I turned around,and I saw a clown.Had a frown.Stood on a mound.Started barking like a hound.huh her ha hur urClowny clown clown.When I came to what I found,he showed me something that was brown,so we became great friends andlate in life, he got sick...I gave him some soup, but he gotworse and asked for its purse.It got it, but it was empty,so it cried a plenty.I wondered what to do.I didn't know what to think,so I got a drink.And then I showed itsomething that was round,and it died, smiled,and fell on the ground.Clowny clown clownThinking back about those dayswith the clown,I get teary-eyed and really snide.I think that deep down,I hated that clown,but not as much as Mr. Farr,I'm going to go smoke a cigar.Clowny clown clown.I was walking on the ground,I didn't make a soundand then I turned around --I saw a clown.Clown.Clowny Clown Clown.HAHA!I hate you clown.Your ugly frown.Smiley lips.Think I'll clip you across the nose, clown.Haha.Want a cigar?It'll get you far hahalike Mr.Farr..get it?Haha Mr.Farr?Clown.Clown.(Coughs) See what a cigar'll do? HEHE!Clown.Ugly Clown. Edited August 25, 2008 by Estranged Reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Every day I become more convinced that Crispin Glover is the greatest man to have ever lived.Want a cigar?It'll get you far hahalike Mr.Farr..get it?Yes. Oh god, yes.When Mr. Farr pops up in the video, it's even creepier because of this. Look at the clothing, hair, etc. Same character. And the album was released two years after this talk show appearance, and he later denied having been on Letterman that night and said it was someone else, which leads me to believe he's clinically insane and actually has split personalities and perceives them to be different people. He's either utterly crazy - or a complete genius. Maybe a bit of both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Is it like that kind of thing or is more like Mr. Bungle meets Manson. Suppose once my youtube starts working again I'll know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Is it like that kind of thing or is more like Mr. Bungle meets Manson. Suppose once my youtube starts working again I'll know.It's more like Tom Green's The Bum Bum Song meets Charles Manson via Mr. BungleNothing like Manson.Half the album is spoken word poetry stuff, but not typical readings. Really weird shit.Glover took books with expired copyrights, removed and added extra words and images, claimed them as his own and read them for the album. The rest is music. There's a cringeworthy cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walking" which features him basically crying hysterically the whole time. It's the weirdest album ever.

wasted Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 It was more Bungle than Manson. Carnival spoken word record.Must be Johhny Depp's favorite record.Tim Burton for the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 You'll never hear anything better. Don't even argueJoe Pesci's critically acclaimed second album beats Glover's entire catalouge. We play it when my straight off the boat sicillian grandmother comes to cook us ziti and stuffed shells. What an enchanting voice Pesci (er, excuse me, Vinny) has. The only thing that stopped this album from going platinum was the absence of some Rocket Queen-esq sex sounds supplemented by miss "moaning" Lisa Vito (Marisa Tomei) on the track "I Can't Give You Anything But Love".

Either way, the lyrical prowess is admirable: "Your car blows up, I return your keys". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDRE Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 This may be a good album........but it isn't the GREATEST OF ALLTIME. That distinction belongs to a couple of lads called Sunny Day Real Estate.The album.......Diary. This is the album Nirvana was wanted to make.
