Help me find a specific PDQ BACH song.
JoshKahn
It was done like an operetta, and the lyrics refered to a person searching
for a substance to control amourous porposes in an aquarium. The person
was then arrested for "Passing over a staid lion with a control substance
for immoral porposes".
Please help me find this.

"Knock Knock" on the LP/CD "Oedipus Tex and Other Choral Calamities" on
Telarc, quite recommended! It's actually "Transporting young gulls across
a staid lion for immoral porpoises" (yyyyyYESSSSSS!)
It also contains the wonderful "Classical Rap", if you've never heard
turntable scratching with a full orchestra, watch out!
Plus it has a bit of fellow Cleveland AFTRA voice talent (plug plug), one
of our big radio guys here, Paul Tapie (the guy after whose market I is -
heh heh heh heh) is the answering machine voice of the law firm Hambert,
Rendricks and Loss (a musical "in" joke in itself), handling Prof.
Schickele's expulsion from the American Musicolological Junta!
Neato.

Yes. I have that recording. I am 99.99% sure that it is on the
Oedipus Tex and other Choral Calamities CD.
If I recall correctly, it's with a lot of other shorter, bad jokes...
like the "What is the question to the answer which is..." which is a
recitation followed by a choral response of the question. Such as:
"What is the question to the answer which is... Chicken Teriyaki?"
"What is the name of the only living Kamikaze pilot."
I think this is a great disc, by the way. Oedipus Tex is pretty good,
too.

can't come through on an album. During one number called something
like "Concerto for Violin and Bass Drum," somebody in the back is
banging on a large drum with...yup, a stuffed fish!

True enough. There's a bit for piano where at one point the lights go
out, and when they come up, the piano player and page turner have switched
places without a break in the music...

Do you know why there was such a large gap of time between the two albums?

No. You'd have to ask Prof. Peter Schickle. :) Would guess that Schickle was
trying to do other stuff, separate from PDQ Bach, and gave up. He's been
doing an album a year with Telarc now, but one was not a PDQ Bach album.
I know the first 4 won grammys. Did any of the others?
