Red for beef, beef, Beeefheart. Heart of a beef, it's all flap steak. Stake your life—and this is to you teens whose musical slang word 'slap' coincidentally also means flap—on any Beefheart song from his Trout Mask Replica being a slap and you are guaranteed to be dad (something 'bout Pachuco Cadaverthat makes teens instantly want to have surreal sex and by surreal, I'm talking no condoms). Mum, motherf******* instruments that were involved in the making of Trout Mask Replica created music that was so beyond the norm, it might as well be magic. Literally magic is what Captain Beefheart's band was, a band named The Magic Band which naturally made Captain Beefheart the magician and he was, a magician whose greatest spell was "Trout Mask Replica".
On the topic of "Trout Mask Replica", Captain Beefheart performed that greatest-of-spells in a fish mask and a green suit jacket but forget the fish-mask (good lark with that) for it is the green suit jacket that is important. Important in that two others wore it, one being Monsieur Merde and the other being Tom Waits.
