Oh, well!  The album cover's neat!

Reminds me of an SNL skit. Might have been alright if it ended about halfway through.

Is this Klezmer-inspired music? {#Think}

Me too.  I used to go see a garage band in high school that did a fantastic Donkey Kong cover between sets.  It was hilarious.

Yes you are right. Gotta love a song that makes good use of an accordion.

Thought I heard a little Gentle Giant in there for a second. Frank Zappa too. Maybe I need more coffee.

The segue from this into Steely Dan - The Royal Scam was interesting....

Yes, I see now. Read the post too fast or was THINKING about A.L.L. As versatile as A.L.L. are, I thought this might have been them! But I knew it was a stretch....

The cover, the band name, the title...
The bizarre instrumentation, the circus tent klezmer and the John Zorn brass..

It all sets my mental buffoons cap a-jingle.

Easily an 8 =)

Or yodeling, but that thought sort of destroys the nice arabian/egyptian atmospherere of this song.

What are those instruments?
Could be just clarinet & fagot/bassoon, or is it some middle-eastern contraption?

Any song that begins with a bass clarinet (which continues throughout the entire song) is bound to be unusual. I haven't decided if I like it or not....

Spidergirl has an unerring instinct for good music.

I've liked this song ever since it showed up on the LRC. It has the virtues of both inventiveness and skilled musicianship.
