I recently discovered these guys and they are fantastic! I love them! Any other fans around? Any recommendations for similar material?

"We're all bozos on this bus."
Love Firesign Theater.
If you can find it, "Congress of Wonders - Sophomoric".
But this is not exactly Music or Songwriting.

I've seen them perform live. You may kiss the hem of my garment.
At one time, I think I had all their stuff on vinyl, but over the years, roommates pilfered away a lot of it. Not sure I have any, now.
Phil Proctor has a column in Funny Times, but it's quite the disappointment. Instead of original material, it consists of reprints of the better jokes making the rounds online. Often they're jokes I liked enough to copy and save two or three years before they appear.

"Yes, the second reel of our motion picture..."

As to musical comedy, I can recommend the Austin Lounge Lizards.
Bluegrass Brain Damage
Related -- Hayseed Dixie's "Highway to Hell"
Ok, I'm just wasting time now - Hayseed Dixie's Bohemian Rhapsody It has the benefit of being both weirder and shorter than the original.

My husband has been a fan since high school. He still quotes Nick Danger, private eye. I got him the boxed set of Nick Dangers a couple of birthdays ago.
Thanks! I will check out the Austin Lounge Lizards and Brain Damage and later.
I knew Hayseed Dixie for their weird great covers (among others like Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, The Puppini Sisters and their Andrew Sisters pastiche and Señor Coconut and their electro merengue) they are quite something. What is Sophomoric exactly about?
Where the vegetables are green! And you can pee on the stream! Back to the shadows again...
"Porgie! You're a white man, whadda you think we ought do?"
"Speak English, Alvarado!"
"Don't get excited!"

"Stand him on his head."
"He's no fun; he fell right over!"
My dad has been a fan of these guys from back in the days . . . I think I have one of their albums on vinyl around somewhere (now I just gotta round up the blasted AC adapter for my record player!)

"That's not a mesa, that's a butte."
"Sure is, and a right pretty one."
Gee, somewhere in the great computer shuffle, I seem to have lost Luther Wright and the Wrongs doing the bluegrass version of The Wall. I'll have to find it online to share.

I wonder if is better or worse than the reggae version of Dark Side of the Moon I once was forced to stand over and over in a road trip.

Over and over is cruel, even when it's great music, unless you're alone in the car.
I'm not a bluegrass fan, but I liked the cover. How was the reggae?
