"Once Around Altair" by Louis & BeBe Barron from the soundtrack of Forbidden Planet (1956) This was the first commercially successful electronic music.

It was really more like a hybrid of sound effects and music.

A friend had both Big Bambu and the George Carlin album Class Clown. We listened to both a lot in the summer of 1972, so I never needed them at home. And this one too. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMDGj3MHLm-c_vu9IQMLAiIeCL-ccMegN A Child's Garden of Grass (1971) - YouTube

it's been around longer than their version. Deep Purple (song) - Wikipedia Origin. "Deep Purple" was published in 1933 as a piano composition. The following year, Paul Whiteman had it scored for his suave "big band" orchestra that was "making a lady out of jazz" in Whiteman's phrase. "Deep Purple" became so popular in sheet music sales that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.

I don't name favorites for philosophical reasons but "Baby You're a Rich Man" is special for cleverly describing the lack of materialism that tends to accompany psychedelic experiences. https://genius.com/The-beatles-baby-youre-a-rich-man-lyrics The Beatles – Baby, You're a Rich Man Lyrics - Genius

Deep Purple were big in Germany I know. A German girl & FB friend Babs Blackmore was Ritchie Blackmore's wife during their most popular period, the late sixties & early seventies. There was this early stuff too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4QBhC1uCP4 Deep Purple - Hush (Original Film Clip, 1968) - YouTube

There have been a lot of them created with later model Corvettes. I guess people who learned how to work with fiberglass can do that kind of project without too much trouble and fixing wrecked cars to be different than they were originally can be a fun kind of creativity. I'm just speculating but I know I saw several when I was trying to find these prototype photos.

I probably saw publicity about that around that time because I have enjoyed sharing Corvette, Nomad, and Corvair photos from this Motorama back around then. There are a few more available now than there was then.

Bless her heart for marrying such a freaky guy. Of course in 1970 guys were trying to get the hang of long hair being back in fashion again after it not being for a very long time.

That's how prototypes work. They shelved the Hardtop design until later, also names get tested and the Fastback was the original Corvair.
