You Say France and I Whistle
I just came across this old WFMU blog post about Van Morrison's Bang Records Contractual Obligation Session.
In order to fulfill his obligation to his early solo label Bang Records,Van Morrison sat down in 1967 or so and cranked out 31 songs on the spot, on topics ranging from ringworm to wanting a danish, to hating his record label and a guy named George. Make sure you get past the first few tunes - it takes him a few to get cooking.
"You Say France and I Whistle" is one of the best song names I've come across and the song itself if cracking me up.
Listen to all the songs here.
