And like most of Eno's pop stuff, extremely funny. The opening lines of
"Taking Tiger Mountain" -- "We climbed and we climbed, oh how we climbed,
my how we climbed" -- never fail to crack me up. The prog stuff that I
like almost always has a definite sense of humor. Even Robert Wyatt's ROCK
BOTTOM, which in many ways is an incredibly bleak album, has some amusing
bits.
