OT: Original song material about fantasy

[wire chief]

Songs about stuff that does not exist. Avoid original songs in musicals, like a tinman or cowardly lion wishing for a brain.

Choose a brand new depiction of a mythical creature...

puff the magic dragon - Bing video

Or a variation on some already established production, like...

white rabbit jefferson airplane - Bing

 

[8893]

Here's a few. Stevie's song is so smart, so clever and so endearing it remains my favorite ballad from him.

Frank Zappa - Camarillo Brillo - "She ruled the Toads of these short forest, and every newt in Idaho"

First one to jump into my head.

Life is Just a Fantasy - Aldo Nova

 

[meyers7]

Land of Make Believe - Chuck Mangione

Ah, get to use one of my favorites again.

Ok Possum Kingdom Lake exists, but people who immolate themselves, turn into smoke and go around trying to get people to join them....not so much. (yea that's what it's supposed to be about)

Anyway....Possum Kingdom - The Toadies

 

[meyers7]

Maybe a variation on something already established??

The Devil Came Up To Boston - Adam Ezra Group

Be forewarned - Very, very explicit language.

 

[meyers7]

Of course...Wooly Bully - Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
