Real Life troping; Cool Old Guy is a narrative trope and deemed NRLEP because of that; besides it's a ZCE too

Is this man Jesus or what? Find if you will a man who had mastered every stringed instrument given to him by the age of 7. Since then he has recorded everything from reggae to country rock, created a unique wood-working style and gotten back together with a [[Music/JohnOtway sado-masochistic punk]] a dozen times.

** The cooler than cool bass riff at the end of "Temptation" seems to of been improvised at the last minute. Barrett fluffs a note as if working out how to end it.
** During "Tales From the Raj" on Organic Bondage, Barrett fluffs "She was standing there where-'''ho-a-um-th-a-um-there''' looking out of place" then laughs as he says "The only sign of life..." The already complex rhythm changes to accommodate this. God, Barrett must be really talented to work like that.

* GenreShift: As could one song and especially in the case of "Please Don't Throw Me To The Christians"

**Organic Bondage is the biggest departure with a much more hard sound
**Open Toed and Flapping is a very heavy experimental folk album but it couldn't be more different from OB if it tried

Discography:
* 1979: Call of the Wild
* 1980: Krazy Kong (Demo) Album
* 1986: Organic Bondage
* 1991: Mound of Sound
* 1995: Open Toed And Flapping
!!Tropes
* BalancedHarem: In Krazy Kong the Protagonist Krazy Kong has a "harem by his side" when his visits the dance-hall on a Friday
* CallBack: The bit at the end of Moose Loose Kicking from Organic Bondage reprises the melody of Shot of Redeye. I'm In Love Again also seems to do this but less evidently.
* CoolOldGuy
* CreatorInJoke: A Shot of Redeye. Red Eye Records. Hmm...
* DeathBySex / FemmeFatale: The protagonist in Late Night Lady almost dies after encountering the antagonist; a prostitute. He returns to her the next night
* IndecipherableLyrics: Drink To Me Only is sped up to twice its speed and it is incredibly difficult to understand what's being said without slowing 'em down.
* [[ConceptAlbum Kongcept Album]]: Krazy Kong. At least the Kong tracks are. TheOtherWiki has an article with an interpretation of the lyrics.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The Late Show. "And the mixing desk is picking up the radio" There is a live video where during that line, a radio is pulled out on a cord. It is of course quite loud and makes the point about electronic interference being bad.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Willy is this to Music/JohnOtway. Subverted since Otway wrote the pair's [[OneHitWonder only hit]].
** The Writer Behind the Musician
*** Organic Bondage's tracks were written by criminally obscure songwriter Eddie Stanton. These were 'arranged' by Barrett who proceeded to add a writing credit ''before'' Stanton's name.
*** The best tracks on Call of the Wild were written by also criminally obscure songwriters Mike Gatton and Ken Murray. The distinctive guitar hook on "Late Night Lady" was provided by Roy Hurley. Though the bass part at the end of "Temptation" is Barrett's.
* {{Protagonist}}: Krazy Kong. And a bit of an AntiHero if the opinion of the men in the town are anything to go by. Probably [[RagsToRiches employs some of them]] by Kong and the Soup Dragon!!
