Cerebral Knievel

Cerebral KnievelA pun on the stage name of American stunt performer Evel Knievel. is a song by TISM, from their album The White Albun, released 28th June 2004 by genre b.goode and Madman Entertainment. 
Intended as a parody of The Beatles' notorious sound collage "Revolution 9" (from their self-titled 1968 "White Album"), "Cerebral Knievel" apparently also refers to the co-ordinator of the "Young Cocksucker Implementation Team" at Madman. It borrows the melody from "There's No Bigger Knob than a Private School Knob". 
The coda (mixed by John Lindrea at the Death Star) features a variety of samples dating from 1977 to August 1995, including an alternate take (Take 20) of "The Back Upon Which Jezza Jumped".

:(piano riff from "Revolution 9" by The Beatles)This entire section is a reference to The Beatles' sound collage "Revolution 9", featured on their 1968 self-titled "White Album".
:TOKIN BLACKMAN: (laughs)This sample of Tokin Blackman laughing was found by a TISM member on an old cassette tape: "Driving to the gig from the airport or whatever, they were wonderful times. He would spend most of that time cacking himself laughing. There is a song on the last album we did, "Cerebral Knievel", there's a middle section where we do our own crap version of that cut and paste thing The Beatles did in "Revolution 9". I'd found this old cassette with [Tokin] cacking himself laughing on it. It was very infectious. I just loved it so much that I put it on that track. If any TISM fans out there want to go and have a listen to the middle section of that track, it's probably a nice way to remember the man."
