I've got George Washington's front tooth Keep it with Gandhi's glasses in an old phone booth Accoutremania's what I got I stole it off a man in a parking lot Accoutremanana Accoutremanana Accoutremanana Accoutremanana Accoutremanana Accoutremanana I collect old coats and unfulfilled dreams I'm the janitor you see that never cleans I eat books and pens and radios too Throw things together to see what they do Accoutremanana Accoutremanana Well, accoutremanana Accoutremanana Accoutremanana Accoutremanana I'm a savage thing in a man thing's suit Wavin' my feathers, slammin' a hoot Creep, creep in a blind man's sleep No-one holds an eye when it lies upon a freak Accoutremanana Accoutremana, Accoutremana Accoutremana-na-na-na Accoutremanana Accoutremanana Accoutremanana

Well if you go down the road Don't matter whether it's night or day You'll see a bunch of people Waiting to take me away But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe Ain't goin' to hear my case I ain't goin to the courthouse, babe Shuffle from this earthly place Well I told 'em what's mine is mine And what's yours is yours But I caught you a-peepin' and a-feelin' Around with your dirty claws But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe Ain't goin to hear my case I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe Shuffle from this earthly place Well I hope you can come with me babe To that place up there Come with me babe Just so long as I can afford my fare But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe Ain't goin' to hear my case I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe Shuffle from this earthly place From the east to the west There's no dividing line And this old king knows best That the monarchy has had its time But I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe Ain't goin' to hear my case I ain't goin' to the courthouse, babe Shuffle from this earthly place Oh one more time No, I ain't goin' Ain't goin to the courthouse, ain't goin' to the courthouse

I ain't no king, I suppose I don't sport no diamond ring Though I may wear fancy clothes My palace is on the top floor Come knock on the door And take your partner by the foot Don't worry 'bout no dirty looks Keep on havin' good times all 'round I'd sooner bow down to B.B. King I don't treat people low down I'd rather just sit and grin There's no malice in this heart of mine Oh people please be kind And take your partner by the foot Don't worry, M'am, I ain't no crook Keep on havin' good times all 'round Out upon a blue dancefloor We are bound by feet strong and fleet Bewitched by the kitsch of the evening's sparkling dress The night is at our behest We are porcelain titans of fun Each behind their back binds each hand To the whistle and the crack of the band Primitive intelligence firebrand Of the freak-bop beat that will not stand Still And one and all we will Take our partner by the foot Saddle me up a bus, and I'll ride into town Find me a guy named gus And a woman with a flowing gown We'll go down to the docks Take off our shoes and socks Oh don't put me in the stocks Take your partner by the foot Throw away that etiquette book Keep on havin' good times all 'round Keep on havin good times all 'round, 'round, 'round Keep on havin' good times Oh, one more time Keep on havin' good times

Cannibale 04:50
See them walking, from tribe to tribe We watch them as the sand watch the tide They have no spears, just pens in their hands They have their questions, they have their demands Cannibale, cannibale It's a cannibale, cannibale Climbing the trees, crossing their Ts They come like fleas to a dog that's diseased They wear their cloth, and it turns red We are wroth to see them dead Cannibale, cannibale It's a cannibale, cannibale Can't think of a time without Cannibale plague, a land in drought But they still drink, and they still feed And their hearts run pink, still they bleed Cannibale, cannibale It's a cannibale

about

‘Freak-Bop Stew’ is our debut release, and one we feel offers a taster, a palate cleanser of an offering to your senses, as we welcome you into our world of ‘Freak-Bop’. It features four tracks of diverse origin and composition, melded together with artefacts and curios, all under the guiding influence of our mad musical mantra: “Throw things together to see what they do.”

about

Mad King Ludwig & the Mojo Co. Southampton, UK

An inventive 6-piece from Southampton. Sounds like James Brown & the Famous Flames in a hurricaine; feels like a velvet sofa hurtlin' through a jazz club.
