A Few Song Poems

Here are a few obscurities from the world of the song poem. The most notable entry here may be "Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Potassium", in that it is the second version of this song that I have found on vinyl. The first, on a different song-poem label, was available for download for years from the song-poem website, and featured a loose, rockabilly styled combo fronted by a male singer with an attitude in his voice. The second version, heard here, couldn't possibly be more different.
