Saturday Night Fish Fry

*
In keeping with our dual-use scary music thrust this week---Halloween and election day---we (by which I mean "I") present the debut cut on the debut album of King Crimson:

TWENTY   FIRST   CENTURY   SCHIZOID   MAN!!!!!



DARE DEHDEHDET DET DEHHH! 
DEHHH! DEHHH! DEHHH!

Odd thing about this album is that all of the other tracks on it are laid back, and even "pretty." The album cover nails vibe of this song, if not the whole album.

21st Century Schizoid Man, King Crimson (1969, "In The Court Of The Crimson King: An Observation By King Crimson," reissue Discipline Mobile Group DMG0501), cover art embedded with music, the latter via YouTube, for noncommercial critical discussion and educational purposes.

 Editor's note: oh, wait, there's more!



...as presented by "Seasons," possibly the most adorable string quintet you've ever seen. Works perfectly chartwise, performance-wise, and production-wise (especially that big cavernous sound that stays percussive and punchy all the way through). Unfortunately I can't find out jack about the group on the web. But it's embedded here via YouTube, for the same purposes noted above.
