Garden of Earthly Delights
"Garden of Earthly Delights" is a song written by Andy Partridge of the English rock band XTC, released as the opening track on their 1989 album "Oranges & Lemons".
Partridge wrote the song as a children's guide to the world dedicated to his son Harry.
He intended it to sound "like this crazy tapestry of camels and elephants and belly dancers and all the Arabian Nights, interwoven -- a big ornate Eastern rug
come to life.
" It features Arabic modalities and a guitar solo played through two harmonizers set to different intervals.
