I'm continuing the guest slot here at the countdown with a song with lyrics written by Tommy Pynchon and music by Knees. They didn't collaborate. Pynchon included a bunch of song lyrics in his 1973 magnum opus GRAVITY'S RAINBOW and Knees put them to his kind of music. In fact there's another tune by Tommy Pynchon coming up soon.
As always, click on the song title to download/listen to an MP3 of the song.

Ordinarily I list the lyrics of the song so you can read along, but since I didn't write the words, maybe it's best that I don't write them down. You can find them near the beginning of Section 3 of GRAVITY'S RAINBOW. You have a copy, don't you?
And as a special bonus feature, how about a video of me playing this song? It was one of my early videos and it looks it.
