In The Past: Garage Rock Podcast

Get Me To The World On Time


Listen Later

Friday the 13th is your lucky day - a new episode a lil' early. We pay tribute to the recently-departed James Lowe of the eminently psychedelic combo, The Electric Prunes. And "Get Me To The World On Time" has possibly the best opening of any psych tune. The lyrics describe love as a bad trip but the sounds suggest other worlds - are we caught between the real world and the vast cosmos? Who knows? The second song is by budget rockers The Chellows who turn out a pretty spiffy garage version - a cross between The Troggs and a tea-kettle! The punkers pulled out the song in the late 70s so we then discuss a rendition by The Physicals. It's got some wild free jazz sax, with the vocals of a guy who actually hasn't lost his cool. Still in Britain for a rockabilly-esque version by The Clapham South Escalators. If you liked the spaceship in the original, then you'll love this version. Finally - Richard & The Young Lions recorded a version in what seems to be the the early 2000s but the vocals sound strangely like They Might be Giants. Eat your prunes!
