Craziest (sounding) 45s?

[chuckd]

My votes are tied between Ralph Nielsen's "Scream" and Adrian Lloyd's "Lorna" In 1962 "The Scream" must have been like musical waterboarding to any kid's parents and the guy in the booth recording it must have lost his mind when he saw the VU meters on the board peg in the red for the entire song.



Is there any other insanity like this out there?

The Gentrys "Wild" is the closest thing I can think of.

A lot of people think that THE "Mad Mike" refers to the legendary Pittsburgh D.J. "Mad Mike" (Metrovich) on WZUM 1590 AM. In reality is "Mad Mike" Porcelli on guitar & vocals..

I had a stone mint copy with mint sleeve 10-15 years ago. I think I sold it to Tim Warren. Killer rekkid! Somewhere on facebook someone was selling a clean copy yesterday, with sleeve

Compared to all above is quite moderate, but I'm willing to bet that "keep that turtle out of my cabbage patch" line is the most profound sentence in all "boy meets girl" teenbeat lyrics.

Far, far away from the comfort of the garage world, give this pair of lunatic/spazzed out tunes by maestro Hezie Johnson a listen:

Craziness checklist:

Atonal vocals​

Bizzarro lyrics​

Lack of musicianship​

No sense of rhythm or timing​

​

Warning - you can't unlisten these - they'll be seared into your gray matter for eternity if you dare giving them a spin.
