6	''The Fugs' Second Album'' is the second studio album by Music/TheFugs, released in 1966. It is the follow-up to ''Music/TheFugsFirstAlbum''. The original LP was simply titled ''The Fugs'', but to avoid confusion the CD release re-titled it ''The Fugs Second Album''.

It is best known for fan favorites such as "Kill For Peace" and the lengthy and atmospheric "Virgin Forest". Back in the day it even managed to chart on number 95 in Billboard's list of "Top Pop Albums."

141	** "Virgin Forest" namedrops the Greek goddess Aphrodite, Creator/JeanJacquesRousseau and bases its lyrics of the last part partly on Creator/WilliamSBurroughs ''Nova Express''. There is also a funny interlude where Literature/{{Tarzan}} is imitated.

144	* SpokenWordInMusic: "Virgin Forest" has recitation.
145	* StockSoundEffects: "Kill For Peace" has sound effects of gunfire mixed in. "Virgin Forest" uses several sound effects, among them the sound of a streaming river and croaking frogs.
146	* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "Morning Morning".
147	* TimeMarchesOn: The references to the Vietnam War in "Doin' All Right" and "Kill For Peace" are quite dated now.
