Funny / Tubular Bells

• The "Piltdown Man" section on side two, with Oldfield babbling complete nonsense in a screaming, growling caveman voice. The story behind it is as funny as the song: Branson was pressuring him to add a section with lyrics that could be released as a single, and in response Oldfield stormed out of the meeting, got smashed on Irish whiskey, and spent ten minutes "screaming his brains out," resulting in him being unable to speak for two weeks. The tape was intentionally recorded at too high a speed, resulting in a deeper voice when it was played normally.
• "Altered State", which is the variant in the second album, is very silly, intentionally, with Oldfield now making ape-like sounds.
  Girl #1: Where's your mama?
  Girl #2: Where's she gone?
• The original version of "Sailor's Hornpipe", starring Vivian Stanshall - with Mike Oldfield and the other musicians marching around the manor they were in, playing the song. And they were all drunk.
