Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - White Jam Lyrics

Amazing

This song is mesmerizing never listen to Captain Beefheart back in the day but I'm definitely a fan!😎

can,t understand the guys who complain on this record..Captain was doing another different thing, it was his fucking band..you pick up his catalog anf it,s a strange garden full of different kinds of strange plants an flowers..enjoy them,don,t fuck the rest of humanity if you only like roses..

amazing blues voice

no one should sample this amazing song. So unique and ahead of time

ewww. somebody sampled this. i bet the song is a piece of shit too.

The song is great Billy woods the big nothing

Hip Hop brought me here and I thank you.

I've always loved Beefheart and could immediately tell it was him on that song. Billy Woods is really phenomenal. The samples are so weird and perfect, including this one.

+GrammarWizard You are so right. I just happened to come across his new album and was blown away by his sound and delivery. Now I'm diving into Captain Beefheart because of that album.

If you like Today I Wrote Nothing, then you'd probably also like History Will Absolve Me, which has similar sampling weirdness. Sampling Duck Hunt, the Shining, Willy Wonka, so on. Billy Woods is definitely one of the most interesting rappers out there right now.

Hey, y'all, please explain! who samples this? very curious!

Billy Woods - The Big Nothing off his last album Today, I Wrote Nothing

that transition into the harmonica part is amazing

@Deep Frigid Winter 4real if i ever made a TV show or movie i would use that part as the opening theme

love it

The intro sounds a bit like the chords from Flavor Bud Living.

Wonder what harmonica Don preferred playing with.

Unique. So genius indeed. Zappa thought so too.

Did he? I thought they were friends first off and then they feuded a lot beginning in the early 70s.

hes so much better than zappa

I’ve read Zappas autobiography where he states “More people should listen to Dons music, it’s really unique and there isn’t much of that out there” paraphrasing of corse. Take into account that he produced Trout Mask, as well as going on a tour with beefheart. They never got along after that but Don went to see Frank after he got sick. Zappa always respected him as an artist

for what song? i'm curious

hot rats

Tom Verlaine ripped off the intro riff almost note for note.

for what? torn curtain?

the Beloved Don, captain, expresses our common humanity, that is why he is Guru. "i don't know where i am!" you are with us and we are with you Guru!

Heroine addict

y'all don't know what white jam he's referring to? She brings me flowers and yams?

genius hit riff

best harmonica riff

No. Dropped a stamp. Or gimmy that harp boy. It ain't no fat man's toy

Not enough variations on the word genius to do justice to the great Captain...

genius of genius.

hit the hat

It hit.

It's a supa mega hit.

It's a mega hit
