The Pot-Head Pixies

Gong's song "The Pot-Head Pixies" is a whimsical and surreal journey into a fantastical world inhabited by the titular Pot-Head Pixies. The lyrics are playful and repetitive, creating a sense of childlike wonder and absurdity. The repeated phrase "I am - you are - we are - crazy!" emphasizes a collective sense of madness and freedom, inviting listeners to join in the fun and embrace the absurdity of the Pixies' world.

The Pot-Head Pixies are described as coming from the "planet of love" and traveling in a "Flying Teapot," which adds to the surreal and fantastical nature of the song. These elements are characteristic of Gong's unique style, which often blends psychedelic rock with elements of fantasy and science fiction. The Pixies' carefree and whimsical nature is further highlighted by their catchy song and their ability to come and go as they please, suggesting a sense of freedom and nonconformity.

The song also contains a subtle commentary on the use of mind-altering substances, as suggested by the repeated warnings to "beware" and the line "Somebody somewhere has got to be high." This adds a layer of complexity to the otherwise lighthearted and playful lyrics, hinting at the potential dangers and consequences of such substances. However, the overall tone of the song remains upbeat and celebratory, inviting listeners to join in the fun and embrace the whimsical world of the Pot-Head Pixies.
