Not exactly a song, but I kid you not this used to scare the living shit out of me when I was little:

MAGIC DRAGON were Germans which put this (rather proggy) lp out of British Columbia in the 80s.
Side 2 has a long track where the tape from Reverend Jimbo's Kool-Aid party in the jungle of Amazonia is running under the sombre music.

Try googling this lp.
I dont think you will find it.

I didn't expect John Denver to endorse such sexist poetry but, yeah, that's creepy as shit. At least you didn't have to watch that video along with it I hope.

Tonight was the first time I listened to in years and years I thought the exact same thing as soon as I heard some of those lines.

Yeah, same here! Never expected it.

No one expects the sexist Deutschendorf!

works better without the music, though, especially the "twist"

Yes, very impressive in its way, I guess, though I don`t think I`ll be playing it very often! I didn`t really understand what you wrote about gloatre and Vordb. What was that all about ?

I don`t find the music intrusive, Il Duce, though I always thought the song was rather a waste of space on an otherwise interesting album. I like all the unnecessary details that are squeezed into the narrative, but the "twist" is only interesting once, isn`t it ?

Another song that`s always given me the creeps is Maxwell`s Silver Hammer, not because it`s grisly but because it`s not. It makes clubbing someone to death with a hammer sound like an amusing little prank. God knows what Macca was thinking at the time - probably swept away, as usual, by his facility at coming up with chirpy little pop hooks.

I find Cale's monotonal, ennui-filled, "a day at work" routine kind of rendition pretty chilling, actually
