During an e-mail exchange with my friend Stu, the phrase “the oddest words” was used. I suggested that this was the name of a mid-‘60’s psychedelic band, and that their hit song had been “Get Me the Hell Outta Here.”
Over the next few weeks, I wrote a parody of psychedelia, based on that title, and over the next several years, recorded it here and there, finally having a finished product nearly a decade after I’d started. It’s among the most complex arrangements I’ve ever put together. My friend Paul helped out with some of the vocals in the later choruses.
