Yup.. the exact statement I wanted to post..

First time I heard "The Mollusk" I recall having a band for every song.. I won't be able to remember it exactly but here's my best shot..

"The Mollusk" spoken part sounds like The Moody Blues.
"Polka Dot Tail" the effect on the guitar solo always reminded me of the one in Pink Floyd's "Time."
"Buckingham Green" vocals totally reminded me of Ozzy.

Fuck.. 3 out of 14 isn't especially great, but better than nothing.

Also "Baby Bitch" pre-dating Elliott Smith is just weird..

I am kinda ashamed to admit that the first thing that came to mind upon reading the thread title was an Anal Cunt song.

There are two on the second side of "Hunky Dory". First "Song For Bob Dylan" and then "Queen Bitch" (Velvet Underground).
