MEME: Monday Music Mambo – Rubber Room

Rfduck takes a moment from his busy schedule to say, “Hello all! I'm back with another Mambo for your enjoyment. Today is Temporary Insanity Day.”

1. What song drives you mad when you hear it?
The Holy Modal Rounders' “The Spring of '65” will set me off for a good, long, while.
2. Who do you think is the craziest musician out there?
Weird Al Jankovic took over from Captain Beefheart.
3. What is your favorite song with the word "crazy" in the title?
At the risk of sounding repetitive, Gnarls Barkley's “Crazy” from the St. Elsewhere album.
4. If you went temporarily insane, what song or album would be your soundtrack? The “psychedelic country” tuneThe Rubber Room” by, of all people, Porter Wagoner, on his 1972 album of the same name!

RUBBER ROOM

In a buildin' tall with a stone wall around there's a rubber room
When a man sees things and hears sounds that's not there
He's headed for the rubber room
Illusions in a twisted mind to save from self-destruction hmm it's the rubber room
Where a man can run into the wall till his strenght makes him fall and lie still
And wait for help in the rubber room
From his blurry vision of doom a psycho in the rubber room
The man in the room right next to mine screams a woman's name hits the wall in vain
He's in the rubber room
I hear footsteps poundin' on the floor God I hope they don't stop at my door
Hmm I'm in the rubber room
Now they've come to get me but they find
I'm a screamin' pretty words tryin' to make 'em rhyme
I'm in the rubber room hmm a psycho I'm in the rubber room hmm
