Name That Tune!

[pluto]

AHunter3’s thread about the song by Yes reminded me of the song I enjoyed listening to and was then surprised to find the words in Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle – it is one of Bokonon’s calypsoes:

              Oh, a sleeping drunkard
              Up in Central Park,
              And a lion-hunter
              In the jungle dark,
              And a chinese dentist,
              And a British queen -
              All fit together
              In the same machine.
              Nice, nice, very nice;
              Nice, nice, very nice;
              Nice, nice, very nice -
              So many different people
              In the same device.

But I can’t remember the group that recorded it!! Was it Yes? or Queen? or somebody else?

Come to my rescue, O Teeming Minions, er, Millions!

The only clue I have is that I think it’s the same group that recorded “The Logical Song” but my memory ceases to function at that point.

Help. Please.

The Logical Song was by Supertramp, if that’s any help …

…on the album “Breakfast in America.”

I can name that tune in three posts!

Is it Ambrosia?

Dojo. Casino. It’s all in the mind.

Thanks Neko! It looks like Ambrosia is the right answer, but I can’t say I remember the band.

Also thanks for the clue on Supertramp. (“Samsonite! I was way off. I knew it started with an S though!”)

I guess I must be getting old.

All correct poster can pick up their prizes by mailing me a SASE and $20 for shipping and handling. (Hey! You don’t know how much handling I have to do!)
