The world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make is taking a stroll down his local town. As he passes by the record shop, a sign catches his eye: "Just Released - New LP - Wasps of the World and the sounds that they make - available now"
Unable to resist the temptation, the man goes into the shop.
"I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make. I'd very much like to listen to the new LP you have advertised in the window."
"Certainly, Sir," says the young man behind the counter. "If you'd like to step into the booth and put on the headphones, I'll put the LP on for you."
The world expert on European wasps goes into the booth and puts on the earphones. Three minutes later, he comes out of the booth and announces, "I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I recognised none of those."
"I'm very sorry Sir", says the young assistant. "If you'd care to step into the booth again, I can play you have another track."
The world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make steps back into the booth and replaces the headphones.
Three minutes later, he comes out of the booth shaking his head. "I don't understand it", he says, "I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make, and yet I still can't recognise any of those!"
"I'm terribly sorry, Sir" says the young man, "perhaps if you'd like to step into the booth again, you could hear another track."
Sighing, the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make steps back into the booth. Five minutes later, he comes out again, clearly agitated.
"I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I have recognised none of the wasps on this LP."
"I really am terribly sorry", says the young assistant,

Three Dog Night
(Cyan)
OUR B SIDE
By: Greenspoon/Negron/Wells
Released as B side on Shambala Single 1973
Here it is, our big blank baby
Yes it is, our B side baby
Someday we'll write an A side maybe
But if we will, what should we write baby
Rock and roll, blues in half time
Soft and low, or even old reggae
We?l try to make our minds rhyme baby
It's your fault if we're just lazy
Kids are you humming it 1,2,3,4
Hmm, hmm?
We'd love to write an A side someday
But here it is, our B side baby
Rock and roll, blues in half time
Soft and low, even reggae
Ye, de, do, do, ba
All about love and sorrow
Pain and peace
Kids are you dancing to it, 1,2,3,4
Na, na?
Here it is, our big blank baby
Yes it is, our B side baby
Someday we?l write an A side maybe
But here it is, our B side baby
(Are you humming it kids?) La, la?
Na, na?Everybody!)
