It was 50 years ago today ("Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite!")

Assistiram o vídeo? Muito bem, foi assim que aconteceu. Houveram é claro alguns ajustes e a música foi devidamente banida da BBB devido à referencia de heroína com "Henry the Horse". A música é uma descrição do que irá ser apresentado no circo de Pablo Flanque na segunda metade o século 19, em pleno reinado da Rainha Vitória. A coisa é completamente surreal, a psicodelia era o que "estavam usando". Sempre me pareceu que isso era mais uma atração que a "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" oferecia. De qualquer maneira "a splendid time is guaranteed for all". 

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair-what a scene
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishops Gate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite fly's through the ring don't be late
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!

The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten summer sets he'll undertake on solid ground
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill
