All this is further destabilised by slightly weirder excursions like '\u003cem\u003eTree Frog - Be A Hobo\u003c\/em\u003e', which fit into some odd percussion-centric take on what might loosely be termed as a 'song'. More idiosyncratic, entirely uncategorizable work from one of 20th century music's true mavericks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honest Jon's Records","offers":[{"title":"10\"- Black Vinyl","offer_id":56286842847577,"sku":"SDZ-24507","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/MOONDOG-MoondogAndHisFriends_Reissue_-10inch-Vinyl.jpg?v=1759487142","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/moondog-moondog-and-his-friends-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
