    I am a Beefheart fan too, but most of you seem unaware that the second part of "Moonlight on Vermont" was not written by Don. The section (Gimme that) "Old Time Religion" is a traditional gospel song that dates back to the 19th century, and it has been recorded by many other performers including Dolly Parton and Willy Nelson. I must admit though that the Magic Band have created my favourite arrangement.

    Fun fact - when he sings "Come out to show them", he's referring to the Steve Reich composition "Come Out" from 1966, which, in turn, loops the voice of Daniel Hamm, one of the Harlem Six protestors who were arrested in 1964... referring to his having to puncture his bruise that he received while being abused by guards in prison so he could let the blood come out to prove it.
    Madlib used a sample of the Reich song in "America's Most Blunted" on Madvillainy, his 2004 collaborative album with MF Doom.
    (geez, it's a pain to write a long journalistic sentence like this)

    Moonlight on Vermont affected everybody
    Even Mrs. Wooten well as Little Nitty
    Even lifebuoy floatin’ with his lil' pistol showin’ and his lil’ pistol totin’
    Well, that goes to show you what a moon can do
    No more bridge from Tuesday t’ Friday
    Everybody’s gone high society
    Hope lost his head ‘n got off on alligators
    Somebody's leavin’ peanuts on the curbins
    For a white elephant escaped from the zoo with love
    Goes to show you what uh moon can do
    Moonlight on Vermont
    Well, it did it for Lifebuoy and it did it to you
    And it did it to zoo and it can do it for me and it can do it for you
    Moonlight on Vermont
    Gimme that old time religion
    Gimme that old time religion
    Don’t gimme no affliction
    That old time religion is good enough for me
    Uh, it’s good enough for you
    Well, come out to show them
    Come out to show them, come out to show them
    Come out to show them, come out to show them
    Come out to show them, come out to show them
    Come out to show them, good old time religion
    Gimme that old time religion, gimme that old time religion
    It’s good enough for me
    Without your new affliction
    Don’t need yer new restrictions, gimme that ole time religion
    It’s good enough for me

    Jeff Tweedy brought me to the Captain. You have to listen to this album at least 10 times for it to soak in. It's like taking your medicine...takes a while to work, but its damn worth the wait. To categorize Captain Beefheart would only defeat his brilliance. You cannot compare CB to anything else...it doesn't exist.

    "Mirror Man" was the first Beefheart record I heard - the one with those long bluesy songs. This track, then, sounded excitingly familiar to me, and eased me into the rest of this album - which, as we all know, is the most important work of art ever committed to vinyl.
