Son Of Schmilsson 1972 Album

Nilsson

Well, just about everything that the previous album was, this album is a laughable parody of it. Or at least it comes out sounding that way. The intention was to capitalize on Nilsson Schmilsson's success, but Harry had other ideas. Right from the first track ("Take 54") it's clear he's in a bawdy, reactive mood ("I sang my balls off for you baby!"). Oh yes, there is also "You're Breaking My Heart" which contains the classic line - "you're breaking my heart/you're tearing it apart/so fuck you!" Most of the other songs just feel fragmented, or ramble on the same goofy note ("The Lottery Song"). Nilsson's wacky personality is about the only good sell here, otherwise, this was quite the interesting flop as far as flop albums went.
