Prog at the AV Club

[RaelWV]

This week's "Inventory" feature at The Onion AV Club is "18 scary depictions of dentistry." Look what showed up:

6. Galahad, “Dentist Song”
Most progressive rock bands are content to sing about lofty subjects such as wizards, outer space, and wizards in outer space. Galahad had something much more earthly in mind when the veteran British band wrote “Dentist Song.” Although the music sounds as elfin, majestic, and melodic as most of Galahad’s output, “Dentist Song” jarringly crams an anti-dentistry narrative into it. As frontman Stuart Nicholson drifts into anesthetized stasis, he sings with disembodied fright, “I hear the sound of a drill edging closer / Making contact with my inner self.” Who knew getting a cavity filled could be cause for metaphysical panic?

Pretty obscure for a semi-mainstream site.

Straight up. The Dentist Song was, indeed, inspired by a particularly painful visit to the dentist!! ;-) She did have very kind eyes...
