As an Iranian who fled the 1979 Revolution, please believe me that the lyrics "nothing frightens me more, than religion at my door" resounds within me in a painfully poignant way.
The Indo-Aryan bros are on the rescue-as-we-speak...down with the beards!Free the women of Iran! But never forget Khomeiny struck this deal with the Cia..
as an iranian teenager, living in iran, stumbling upon your comment really moved me. I hope one day the sun shines on this land and we'll be free of this islamic dictatorship...
@@salarzarieh4690 Me too, my friend. The older I get, the more I miss Iran and our culture. If I may ask, how are you doing? And what is it like being a teenager in Iran these days?
One of my favorites on Paris 1919-(to me, this is also the best version of the song). Everything fits so nicely and beautifully together, and often lures me into a world of wonderful creativity and imagery that's very inspirational. I've always loved the cover of this album to - very ahead of its time-(i.e. the back cover, which is like a video in itself!..;)
If the sacheting of gentlemen Gives you grievance now and then What's needed are some memories of plaining lakes Those plaining lakes will surely calm you down Nothing frightens me more Than religion at my door I never answer panic knocking Falling down the stairs upon the law What law? There's a law for everything For elephants that sing to keep The cows that agriculture won't allow Hanky-panky know how, hanky-panky know how Hanky-panky know how There's a name for everything For elephants that sing to keep The cows that agriculture won't allow Hanky-panky know how, hanky-panky know how Hanky-panky know how
Aside from the fact that it's gorgeous and beyond category, to call anything John Cale has been associated with, "Hippie," means you've ignored his entire career. Which is over 50 years and going strong. This album is in my Top Ten Of All Time. Can't say it any clearer than that.
"Nothing Frightens Me More Than Religion At My Door" - What a line that is, I find it sums up just how I feel when some bizarrely cheerful face rolls up at my front door clutching a bible and with little leaflets to hand out... Just wish they'd keep their odd theories to themselves... But John obviously feels the same way I do... This is a truly great song from the immense album 'PARIS 1919'... John has a slew of great albums but this may well be his finest , it's certainly the one I play the most often.
I'm surprised that they are able to read their pamphlets and opium books in order to spew at me, as they can't read the sign that says 'no solicitation of any kind - no exceptions.'
Thanks to have put this gem album on you tube John captured the word Melancholy and from his alchemy transformed it to music tyo effer us this hidden diamond
I prefer John Cale to Leonard Cohen, yet both are in a league by themselves. I wish that John had, from time to time, returned to the electric viola, as in "Heroin" by the Velvet Underground & Nico.
I remember seeing John give an interview right after this album came out. He said that he didn't like it! It was produced by Procul Harem's producer and he said he sounded too much like them. I happen to think it's his best!
After hearing the word Sacheting in a rap song, it makes more sense context wise. The start is like his feeling towards seeing mainstream getting attention and rewarded and taking you to an alternate reality that doesn’t require all that. It seems this is that deep.
Sally Smith makes me laugh. If you don't like it what are you doing here. Its an ambivalent song that could relate to many things. Whatever, the tune is beautiful. Hoorah John xx
Hi Joe: You have no idea. I've gone through three copies since 1973. It's one of my Top Ten Favorites. I just wasn't sure about the plaining lakes. Best PG
Great anthology Peter (On Creative Loafing). I left a comment but it did not take since i am not on face book. This is what i said: if the sashaying of gentlemen is a nuisance now and then what's needed are some memories of plainning lakes...those plainning lakes will surely calm you down.
Does anyone else feel like this album transports them to Paris in 1919? Not sure how that's possible but it does. The mood is of Paris in 1919 - picking up pieces from WWI
Third time lucky... first time had to reset password. 20 mins later, harder than getting into oxbridge from a comprehensive 2nd time relaxing into mellifluous bliss, interrupted they wanted me to create channel. This time heard it all the way thro - fab, what a poet, wot a Musician!
Sally, how could you? agreed with the guy who replied, except him saying c... c...s are good!Saw him at Hay, solo, he did the Dylan Thomas ones, sublime. Saw him at Glastonbury when he played with the (briefly reformed) Velvet Underground. How blessed am I + been a hippy50 years now great eco ethics etc!
This is one of those LPs one is always told to listen to - it's supposed to be profound, avante garde, and all those other cliches. So you think it can't be THAT bad. But when you do listen to it - well it really is bloody awful! Elevator music for hippies.
Oh fuck off with the sneering condescension, Sally. Liking this album doesn't make someone a hippie. You're free to think whatever you want about the LP. Just don't be an obnoxious snob about it.

See dogs as dogs, and see through the dirt that they kick up to cover their feces.

@@salarzarieh4690 Your comment made my day. Thank you. And me too.
This song is so dreamy.
Thank you, too, Joe. The people who love this album are bound together in fellowship.
Not just his best, but one of THE best. One of my Top Ten All Timers. I've gone through 3 copies since 1973.
what a song ! so sublime & (almost) fragile
Definitely the top of any list for music. An eternal sound, an eternal artist.
Nothing frightens me more
Than religion at my door
Jehovahs Witness's are very nice people, there's no need to be afraid of them.
@@Janitorscage There's nothing "nice" about stupidity. Be very afraid.
@@KevKavanagh Oh ok. Thanks Kev.

Precisely. Well wrote too.
One of my favourite albums of all time. Thanks for posting.
If the sacheting of gentlemen
Gives you grievance now and then
What's needed are some memories of plaining lakes
Those plaining lakes will surely calm you down
Nothing frightens me more
Than religion at my door
I never answer panic knocking
Falling down the stairs upon the law
What law?
There's a law for everything
For elephants that sing to keep
The cows that agriculture won't allow
Hanky-panky know how, hanky-panky know how
Hanky-panky know how
There's a name for everything
For elephants that sing to keep
The cows that agriculture won't allow
Hanky-panky know how, hanky-panky know how
Hanky-panky know how
Love this album beyond measure. Thank you so much.
FRIGGIN BRAVO....thanks for posting. This is still in the top 5 LPs of all time for me. Great Stuff...from a great artist...!!!
PhillyBill59 Me too. 45 years later

“Nothing frightens me more than religion at my door” 🔥 “Hanky panky nohow, hanky panky nohow” so beautiful.
A beautiful song from a beautiful album
Simply 🏴 Wales at best..love this fellow..so many good memories, listening to his tunes.
those plaining lakes will surely calm you down...
Jhon Cale un musico complejo no apto para cualquier oido
Peter: the entire John Cale album: Paris 1919, is just so wonderful. Listen to the whole album.
"Nothing Frightens Me More Than Religion At My Door" - What a line that is, I find it sums up just how I feel when some bizarrely cheerful face rolls up at my front door clutching a bible and with little leaflets to hand out...

off one of my favorite albums.classic.
It really is so fine. Thank You Peter. In a painting, for example, viewing a picture of a lake calms the soul.
Never has a tambourine sounded more magical.
_Perhaps you've never listened to The Clientele?_
I prefer John Cale to Leonard Cohen, yet both are in a league by themselves. I wish that John had, from time to time, returned to the electric viola, as in "Heroin" by the Velvet Underground & Nico.
He played the viola solo on the song "Sadly Beautiful" by the Replacements.
I remember seeing John give an interview right after this album came out. He said that he didn't like it! It was produced by Procul Harem's producer and he said he sounded too much like them. I happen to think it's his best!
I agree with you
great one, when it came out i bet it was so good
Covered by Yo La Tengo, so I put both in my YLT playlist. Thanks for the upload -- I've never even heard of this album!
YLT's take even has kitty backing vocals. :)
I love *love* *_love_* Yo La Tengo's version.
as good now as when I heard it all those years ago...
tnx Mr Cale.
marvelous album
Always comforting
I'm not really sure what it means. But I love it.
After hearing the word Sacheting in a rap song, it makes more sense context wise. The start is like his feeling towards seeing mainstream getting attention and rewarded and taking you to an alternate reality that doesn’t require all that. It seems this is that deep.
i love the tambourine in this one

Lovely xmas song
bellissimo
Hanky Panky Nohow
cheers bruv proper massive choon innit oi lad
yes!
...the plainning lakes will surely calm you down.
Ever listened to The Hope Blister’s cover?
Does anyone else feel like this album transports them to Paris in 1919? Not sure how that's possible but it does. The mood is of Paris in 1919 - picking up pieces from WWI
Joe: Go to Creative Loafing and type in this album and my name. I just wrote an appreciation of Paris. Best PG
love u angie & bob
0:50 autotune? In 1973?🧐
"Hanky Panky No Hoe"
-John Cale
This is good, but Bobby Goldsboro's line about treatin the ladies to corn on the cob prevails.
Off your meds again, I see.

Wow. Add some crunchy guitar and it sounds like what r.e.m. was up to towards the end of their career.
Amazing song, horrible title. I'll be able to hear that repeating guitar line into eternity.

Is it just me or is this a protest song about artificial insemination in the cattle industry???
Cale was reading too much Adam Smith. JK
Yes!
Packing the hound??? Beastiality?
Tasteless shite.

It's been five years, apparently...hope you've managed to find a clue in the meantime...
