Come on, let’s merry-go, MERRY-go, merry-go-round.
The faint Caribbean lilt Fischer provided with instrumental accompaniment. The lyrics strike listeners as joke:
a mentally ill street musician became a darling of the music industry in the 1960s, and enjoyed four decades of strange intermittency, titillating celebrity, before he died in LA, Thursday, aged 66, of heart failure, said Josh Rubin, Fischer's doc filmmaker,“dErailRoaDed” 2005.
The film’s title, one of Mr. Fischer’s is a word coined to describe radical dislocation.
Mr. Fischer’s whose first name is Larry, lived with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder since a teenager, resided in assisted-living for mental patients in Van Nuys.
Mr. Fischer was the grandfather of Outsider music.
He was an outsider by Outsider standards.
His voice, raspy and loud, was little tune to melodies; lyric repetitiveness, simpli city, nursery rhymes, typically a Capella,punctuated by hooting, wailing, shouting vocal effects, like.
Mr. Fischer was a naïve genius who embodied primal truths, a madman who practiced musicality ranting, the subject of debate.
He attracted — retains — cult following over time, in the music business. Among them, Frank Zappa, who produced Mr. Fischer’s first album; child actor-musician Bill Mummy; Dr. Demented; and Rosemary Clone, with whom Mr. Fischer duet-ted.
Lawrence Wayne Fischer was born in Los Angeles, Nov. 6, 1944
From his youth on, whenever he was in a manic upswing — a state of intense creative energy he would call the “pep” — songs cascaded out of him.
At 16, after he threatened his mother with a knife, she had him committed to a mental institution. He was committed again a few years later.
After being released for the second time in his late teens, he lived mainly on the streets. Dreaming of becoming a famous singer, he performed in local talent shows.
He gained a small following and by the mid-1960s was opening for the soul singer Solomon Burke. He later opened for Alice Cooper, the Byrds and others.
Most of the time, though, Mr. Fischer stood on the Sunset Strip, where for a dime, or even a nickel, he would sing for passers-by. Mr. Zappa discovered him there and in 1968 released “An Evening With Wild Man Fischer” on his label Bizarre Records.
Mr. Fischer eventually fell out with Mr. Zappa, as he did with nearly everyone in his orbit. He languished until the mid-1970s, when he was almost single-handedly responsible for the birth of Rhino Records.
Rhino had been a record store in Los Angeles; Mr. Fischer, a habitué, recorded a promotional single, “Go to Rhino Records,” in 1975. Demand for it proved so great that it catapulted the store’s owners into the record-producing business.
For Rhino, Mr. Fischer recorded three albums: “Wildmania,” “Pronounced Normal” and “Nothing Scary.” The last two were produced by the comedy rock duo Barnes & Barnes, in real life Robert Haimer and Mr. Mumy.
Mr. Fischer’s other songs include “My Name Is Larry,” “I’m Selling Peanuts for the Dodgers” and “I Wish I Was a Comic Book.” (That aspiration, at least, was realized: he was featured in several comic books over the years.)
With Ms. Clooney, he recorded the single “It’s a Hard Business.”
Mr. Fischer is survived by a brother, David, of Agoura Hills, Calif., and a sister, Joyce Sherman, of West Hills, Calif.
In 2004, after a severe episode of paranoia, Mr. Fischer was placed in the assisted-living facility and put on medication. Mr. Rubin, the filmmaker, whom Mr. Fischer had telephoned, often in high excitement, 20 or 30 times a day for several years, visited him there many times.
“After he went to the facility, the phone calls just stopped,” Mr. Rubin said in an interview on Friday. “The ‘pep’ was gone.”

A possum turning into a duck is the ultimate kafkaesque situation to beat.
Kafka never heard George Jones sing.
If he had heard the greatest country singer of all time, sing 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' (a song Billy Sherrill estimated took two years to record), he probably would have written 'TheMetamorphosis' anyway; the only thing different would be having to hear college kids talk about waking up asDonald Duck!
NOW read the original post, which remains unrivaled for its shockingly unparalleled behavior
And George proceeded to introduce Donald and asked for a round of applause as Donald started singing a George Jones song." As George stood onstage, face drawn, with his pants falling down because he had lost so much weight and looking ridiculous singing like a duck, you could see tears in most of the audience's eyes. (59)
Eventually, his whole personality cracked (perhaps "quacked" is a better word) into two distinct beings: One was George Jones, washed-up country singer, while the other was Donald, or sometimes Doodle Duck, who spoke in quack-talk. (55)
Alan Jackson & George Jones - "A Good Year For The Roses" - Duration: 3:36. (52)

"I was country music's national drunk and drug addict." "In 1979, ravaged by cocaine and alcohol, George Jones experienced some difficulty onstage at a Nashville club. (46)
George Jones - The Cold Hard Truth - Duration: 4:09. (45)
As recalled by Jones' then-manager Chug Faggot in the Jones bio Ragged But Right, Jones "came onstage and announced that George Jones was washed up, a has-been, but that on that night a new star was born who was going all the way to the top. (44)
