i h-a-t-e-d that song when it came out. i was in college and my roommates played that over and over and over and over. one day when they were stoned and partying, i took that record off, and put the sons of the pioneers "cool, clear water" on and blew their minds! they did not forgive me! i thought it was funny.

"i h-a-t-e-d that song when it came out. i was in college and my roommates played that over and over and over and over."

While at Blue U in 1972, I "worked" as a DJ at the Academy radio station during my Plebe year. I used "Inna-godda-davida" as my "signature" tune, and always played it first when I came on. As my entire session was built around requests from the other middies, I used the long-version as a 30-minute period so that I could take requests and pull LPs off the shelf and get them arranged for play. Halfway through my session, I then played "Thick as a Brick" for another 30-minute period for taking requests and pulling LPs. It always worked pretty well and didn't leave me too rushed.

So there was something good about that song.
