Week 17 - "Hoopy Frood"

Lyrics:
Who's a hoopy frood? Who's a hoopy frood? Who's a hoopy frood? Who? (Marvin: "Zaphod Beeblbrox")
Who's a hoopy frood? Who's a hoopy frood? Who's a hoopy frood? Who? (Ford: "Zaphod Beeblbrox")

He's a hoopy, hoopy frood.
He's always in a righteous mood.
He ain't just a groovy dude.
No, he's a hoopy, hoopy frood.

He's a man who's got two heads
and many people want him dead.
And his manner's pretty crude,
but he's a hoopy, hoopy frood.

They say he's a man of mystery,
though Eccentrica Gallumbits would not agree.
But she'll tell you he ain't no prude,
but he's a hoopy, hoopy frood.

This one's a tribute to the character of Zaphod Beeblebrox from Douglas Adams' radio and book series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  Zaphod is a real cool cat who has two heads, three or more arms, and because he is the president of the galaxy, he prettymuch thinks he runs everything (though he may be wrong).  "Hoopy frood" is a slang term for such a fellow as Zaphod.

I experimented with layering numerous vocals on this one - six at the thickest parts.  I also tried a new synth lead sound on my RD-600 keyboard.  Various clips from the radio series are used throughout the song.
