The Bonzos' third album is a bit of a retreat from the cosmic anything-goes atmosphere of their second LP (Doughnuts in Granny's Greenhouse), slanted much more heavily toward their vaudevillian rad jazz roots. Perhaps that's because Viv Stanshall and Neil Innes, who dominated the second album, contribute only three tunes here. Still, it's never less than entertaining and has some stellar moments, like the psychedelic African safari of "Ali Baba's Camel," the skit "Shirt" (another clear forerunner of Monty Python), and the British hit single "I'm the Urban Spaceman," produced by Paul McCartney.
Here is another parody, this one by Bonzo Dog Band, a British group formed in 1967-8. In this one, lays in ambush the worst guitar solo ever. Bonzo Dog Band were/are a major part of British culture. The Beatles hung out with these guys and were probably influenced by them.
