The Dukes of Stratosphear – You’re A Good Man Albert Brown
In my capacity as overseer of this nonsense website, I declare this weekend an official The Dukes of Stratosphear weekend.
Thus far we’ve had the video for the Beatles-esque ‘The Mole From the Ministry‘ and a review of their anthology album Chips From the Chocolate Fireball. We’ve even had the vid for The Beatles’ ‘I Am the Walrus‘, an inspiration for the aforementioned ‘Mole…’
We shall end this impromptu celebration of the 1980′s psychedelic throwbacks with a bit of jaunty, music-hall, roll-out-the-bloomin-barrel psych-pop in the guise of ‘You’re a Good Man Albert Brown (Curse You Red Barrel)’.
Taken from 1987′s Psionic Psunspot, it keeps with the traditions of the Dukes’ musical forebears in placing a completely random cock-er-knees-up-mother-brown type song on the album, an oft-used gimmick in the glory days of psych.
The video is pure Beatles/ Monty Python daftness, with a dash of Madness thrown in for good measure.
‘You’re a Good Man Albert Brown’, Indeed you are, sir.
