The Flying Lizards defied all genres and categorisations, of any description. Quite brilliant. Love them or detest them. One cannot just ignore them. Their music draws one in and elevates ones consciousness. Pure art. Better than drugs. Or sex. Or ice-cream. 🍦🎨✌️
It reminds me of the episode of WKRP where Johnny Fever was playing the Flying Lizards' version of "Money" and an old lady walked into the DJ booth and slammed her umbrella on the turntable.
The genius of it that it shines a massive light on the lyrics and artistically showing the absurdity of the lyrics spoken in her heavy accent. I love it
Surely Peter Sellers' rendition of the Beatles A Hard Days Night must have been an influence at a subliminal level. I often sing songs in the same way as Deborah. ❤ And for the same reason.... can't sing.
It's not "bad" it's high concept. If you ever saw them interviewed, they were streets ahead of the people they were speaking to. When Molly Meldrum asked Sally about her vocals on "Money (that's what I want)", which was a huge hit in Australia, she simply responded "Can't sing". It was glorious. There's a loving precision to this. They aren't mocking these songs, they're paying homage to them. I've loved this album since I first bought it in the 80s. It's not simple, or pretty. It's art. ♥♥♥️it. Thank you for uploading it. No one carries this title in digital format ... yet.

Wow. I think after 25 years and a few edibles this album has finally clicked for me.
Audio is really good. Thanks for the upload.
This makes me miss the 80's. Thank you so much for uploading.
THanks for this upload, OEK. Listening while working on train graffiti books!
Re: Music - The Flying Lizards creates the sterility that only AI could conceive.
I just bought a vinyl copy for 15 Mandingos 👍
brilliant
Unrecognized genius
Just, Geniales, que divertidos!
In "Purple Haze", She includes the mondegreen "kiss this guy"!
sometimes it reminds me the residents
the humor inside it? Sparks is funny and strange too. or the stiffness in the rytms? - their drawback maybe.
Glenn Branka and Xenaxis is there too.

awkwardly satisfying.
the only time an artist covered Leonard Cohen that i can really get behind
Coil's Who By Fire is great
this band deserves place in hall of fame ...Tears...
So is this an original song? The only original on an album of "covers"?
30:55 the overload of piano cascades almost becomes ambient music here
wonderful cover of lcohen very interesting
Thank you for this. A lot.
You're very much welcome!
I love the way she is kind of like a posh android and I love the guy-escapee from a mental institution!❤😅

24:30 this is perhaps the weirdest Elvis cover ever...!
Would be a great album for sampling
Whole lotta shakin could be in a horror film.
craziest
Tutti Frutti sang by Posh Totty
Cacophony symphony
Got to like the tutti frutti part don't you one shot away most of the people in this
Nice, baby....
Music for Androids, Volume I
It's actually just pretty bad really. Are we all just kidding ourselves thinking this is 'cool'?
you got NO taste buddy
Yet i'm likely to listen to the whole album several more times before i die
