Reply to Tell me about the concept of an album that you think is brilliant. by akacoline

Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief Album. Not only did it "fool" you into thinking that the album included an actual tie and handkerchief with the album being the special free prize (I don't want to give away the spoilers), but the album contained two concentric grooves on side 2. So when you dropped the needle on Side 2, you never knew which set of skits were going to play.

The got the idea from carnival games of chance. One of the game was a horse race, and you would bet on the winner. The horse races were announced on records with concentric grooves, so the runner of the race wouldn't know which horse would be the winner. It would be a different outcome every time.

Reply to “You’re so Vain” Confusion by TexitorFlexit

Yes, add the title of the song. As in: You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you. So, if someone thinks that the song is about them, then not only are they vain, but they're not who the song is about.

It's a mystery who the song is actually about. This has been going on since the late 1970s, and we've officially stopped caring because I don't think Carly Simon ever said who the song was about. I thought there were rumors once about her song being about Warren Beatty, but I might be wrong.
