It's amazing how some of the former members of the band are still denying that they were once in it.

The singer "Sandy Sandwich" is actually the fab LENE LOVICH, who has guested with the DRESDEN DOLLS.

[@jann84]

According to the booklet in new pREServed release, Sandy Sandwich was the pseudonym for Andy Partridge, who played guitar and sang on the song "Margaret Freeman".

[@52barney]

indeed that is Lili-Marlene Premilovich BKA Lene Lovich.
If you are not familiar with her there's plenty on RUclips to check out.
It is worthwhile

This song should be paired as a seque with Hello Skinny.

[@fritzthedog007]

Bosch to Devo's Bruegel.

[@weaverssystem]

@Joeey Actually, probably mutual influence. The Residents predate Devo by about 6 to 10 years (depends on how you count), but this album came about 2 years after Devo first started.

[@dubkeb]

yes,the legendary Lena Lovitch sings on this one.

@nicademus666
have you heard RENALDO AND THE LOAF? if you have not, there's a couple of videos on youtube. maybe you could check if you like. the voice in this, sounds exactly like RATL's singer, there is no mistaking it. L. Lovitch participated in the commercial album, her name is even mentioned as such, in the credits of the remastered cd version, but it must be another song that she sings.

Buen video de the residents, aunque como alguien dijo que era musica surrealista, puede ser, pero yo le voy mas al avantgarde, porque la musica avantgarde es mas fuera de un orden establecido, ejemplo: algunas veces Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Gong, Can etc, etc
Aunque el video esta bien lo que esta muy alucinado son los niños que se ven, el gato espantoso, el cielo rojo que se ve horrible y como descuartizan al cuate que sacaba la lengua y se vuelve un craneo
