a great day for some wyatt, loving this track.
Robert Wyatt - Heaps of Sheeps
(from 1997’s Shleep)
I have wanted to post this song since this blog started, and so here it is. I think it sets a records for fitting the most themes simultaneously :)
1. The first song (openers) on Robert Wyatt’s Shleep.
2. While having a bouncy Bo Diddly like beat, it recalls a night of insomnia when perhaps the most innocent behavior (counting sheep) takes a nightmarish turn. (sheep’s clothing)
3. It has the word sheep in it’s title, making it a theme pun.
4. It was the first Wyatt song I heard, while browsing other music spending the gift vertificate my brother got me for my birthday (Thanks Matt!), and I was instantly hooked (most memorable).
5. Much to my dismay, Robert Wyatt isn’t exactly popular. (obscura)
Enjoy!
