So Contrary

When Can first formed in 1968 they were joined by the confrontational, unstable, inimitable Malcolm Mooney, a black American who could actually sing. He would later return to the States on the advice of a psychiatrist who, it would seem, was rather perturbed by Mooney's repeated shouting: "upstairs, downstairs". The other members of Can later announced that Mooney was "caught in a Can groove". Something about that, to me, appears totally understandable. I think I'm caught up in one myself. Listen to the following track at a very low volume, so low that you have to strain to hear it, requiring your full and utmost concentration. Mooney belts out the lyrics:

Smoked a haiku cigarette,
Turned around and then we left
Smiling as the way began to grow.
We got your pretty men all in a row.
Mary, Mary, so quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
These silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty men all in a row?

It's from their only studio album together, Monster Movie. Listen to it. Though, to be fair, the rest really is the ramblings of a lunatic.
