> I’ve mentioned this before in another creepy music thread: [Time has Come at Last](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsBwBct0_5U) by the Chambers Brothers. I didn’t hear this as a kid, THANK GOODNESS, because it would have probably scarred me for life. I heard it for the first time a few years ago in a small, mostly silent office I worked in. It was on someones playlist and it was so disturbing and distracting I couldn’t get any work done. The rhythm is all out of sync and that damned cowbell . . . we do NOT need more cowbell. But the worst part is the end, which actually lasts about five minutes, with the music eerily winding down. Shudder.

Great song. We used to take speed and listen to it endlessly. Oh and it’s called Time Has Come Today…

> But remember the video?? Wasn’t there a seen that showed people at a wedding, and their limbs were all fuzed together? Or did I dream that? I don’t know. I was about 6.

I believe you are confusing Steve Miller’s “Abracadabra” video with Greg Kihn’s “Jeopardy” video. It is the latter that has the scenes from the wedding with an older couple’s arms fused together.

I love the song, due to the bassline being similar to the theme for the Atari 2600 game Tunnel Runner. “I’m not trapped” lmao
