Early Installment Weirdness/Music: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* The songs recorded in the mid-1970s by [[ACDC (Music)|AC/DC]], arguably the biggest rock band on the planet today, sounded very different from their later hits; this was primarily because they weren't quite taking themselves seriously yet, and mostly preferred crude novelty songs. And the band that was the spiritual forerunner of AC/DC - the [[British Invasion]] one-hit wonder The Easybeats - hardly sounds like AC/DC at all.

** Probably because that was with their original singer, Bon Scott, who [[Author Existence Failure|died in 1980]].

* The first album by [[Da Yoopers]] included two dead-serious songs ("My Shoes" and "Critics Tune") and a parody ("Road to Gwinn", a spoof of [[Willie Nelson]]'s "On the Road Again"), two formats in which the band almost never dabbled again. It was also their only album besides ''Yoopy Do Wah'' not to include interstitial comedy sketches.

* The Avalanches' ''El Producto'' EP did have the same dense layers of [[Sampling|samples]] as their more well-known ''Since I Left You''<ref> (The parrot sample that would later show up in "Frontier Psychiatrist" even makes an early appearance in "Rap Fever")</ref>, but used them to a somewhat trippier and slightly less danceable effect. More importantly, while ''Since I Left You'' was instrumental except for sampled vocals, ''El Producto'' actually featured the group rapping [[Word Salad Lyrics]] over most of the songs.
