The Underwatermelon Man & other Unreasonable Rhymes' by Fane Flaws, with Arthur Baysting and Peter Dasent.
Nonsense-rhymes accompanied by delightfully absurd paintings. The book is a collection of surreal nonsense-rhymes set in exquisite and challenging typography by Len Cheeseman, accompanied by the delightfully absurd, paintings of Fane Flaws.
As quoted by Dr Seuss - "A good children's book is a good adult's book". This is much more than a good children's book!
And the music adds another dimension... songwriters Fane Flaws & Peter Dasent, alias ‘BEND', have set the text of ‘The Underwatermelon Man' to a virtual encyclopedia of 20TH Century musical genres. They then recorded them with a 'Who's Who' of New Zealand's favorite singers, as if they were songs for adults (which of course they are).
On this unusual soundtrack which features among others; Neil & Tim Finn, Bic & Boh Runga, Che Fu, King Kapisi, Dave Dobbyn, The Topp Twins, John Clarke, Renee Geyer. Don McGlashan, Jenny Morris, and Chris Knox, you may be surprised to hear: Italian Film Music, Rhythm & Blues, French Swing, Rockabilly, Psychedelic Pop, Swing Blues, Circus Music, Spanish Tango, a String Quartet with Sitars, Tex-Mex Rumba, a James Bond style Movie Theme, German ‘Cabaret', Military Brass with a Barbershop Quartet, and much, much more...
