If you think you already know this song, you were thinking of O Little Town of Bethlehem. This one is called Little Star of Bethlehem. Can's song is a great ramshackle clanking funky creation that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Xmas classic. We could go all Laura Ingalls on this and talk about Little Woods of Bethlehem and Farmer Boy of Bethlehem. If we wanted to.
Here are a few things Malcolm Mooney really wants you to remember (number of times mentioned):
1) Silent (invisible) conversation (11)
2) Correction: the coathanger should be upside down (5)
3) Froggie and Toadie carried off the tangerine seeds one by one (7)
Here are a couple extra tidbits to consider:
4) Up on the moon you really don't need to hang your coat up (3:50)
5) Gravity man has turned himself around (4:03)
6) Soda pop is best in the morning (4:55)
My favorite part of the music is the drum work of Jaki Liebezeit, particularly his fill at 3:49.
