Music for the day

Rico says it's another piece of his childhood: Happiness Stan from Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by The Small Faces:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/OgdensNutGoneFlake

Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is the third studio album by The Small Faces, released in 1968. This album has become one of the seminal works of psychedelic rock, breaking new ground with the innovative, if impractical, circular sleeve, and in turning the whole of the second side to a whimsical fairy tale with spoken narrative interspersed with song, telling the tale of Happiness Stan and his search for the missing half of the moon. The band originally approached Spike Milligan to speak the narrative, but when he turned them down they turned to the veteran radio entertainer Professor Stanley Unwin, whose trade mark was Unwinese, or Basic Engly Twenty Fido, a surreal and mangled form of English inspired by Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. The first side is a mixture of hard rocking, music-hall and East End pub knees-up.
It is also their final studio album before the band's break-up in early 1969, and is their final studio album to feature Ronnie Lane. The band would release a further two albums in a late-1970s reunion, although these are often left out of the band's discography.
