Firesign Theater sample in hiphop song? [And Firesign Theater in general]

What's the birdseye lowdown on this caper?

Agnes Motörhead still one of the all time great display names.

Somewhere Marcus mentioned that he was doing a lot of writing with Firesign records on---wanna say in the background, but what kind of background would that be?
Back in the 70s, my friend and I found most of his several Monty Python LPs to have similar appeal, sounding great even on his less-than-great stereo. Only exception was the one live one we heard then or a little later, blanking on the title. The others were as satisfying in their way as the movies and TV series. Of course they had (though doing without Terry Gilliam's clip art animations etc.) Neil Innes writing songs (along with the use of BBC library sounds etc.): "I've suffered for my music. Now it's your turn."

Maybe not nec. BBC.

Ha, love that line, and the way he does that one.

Not seeing GM's own ref to the above practice, but his buddy Xgau mentions Lipstick Traces [Rough Trade, 1993]:
punk as Ur-political vanguard as per G. Marcus, a man who considers the Firesign Theatre background music (Adverts, "One Chord Wonders"; Mekons, "Never Been in a Riot") *

Oh well, might be somewhere in here: https://greilmarcus.net/?s=firesign+theatre

Marcus has mentioned he wrote Lipstick Traces while wearing out his Firesign vinyl.

I hope the book is not devoid of humor, but I couldn’t have imagined turning it into a comedy, even if I wrote the whole thing while listening over and over to Monty Python and Firesign Theater records, for nine years, until they were all grey and cracked.

I asked the question!

Buncha other ilxors in there too

Wow
