Produced in the early seventies, the Sparks song “Fletcher Honorama”
strikes me as a loving parody of some of the excesses of early sixties
psychedelia: it isn’t much of a stretch to imagine Syd Barret singing
this song while being chased by a giant lobster wearing a monocle.
Like the best parodies, the song is more than strong enough to stand
on its own, and creates its own sort of parallell universe where wit
isn't absent from the fifth dimension.
