Pink Elephant
Don't think of the pink elephant! One is aware of this phenomenon, the 'pink elephant effect': If one makes an effort not to think of it, he will undoubtedly appear in one's head. This 'ban to think' is doomed to fail. Whenever we play this tune, he immediately pops up in my head. He looks a bit like Dumbo - a surreal, friendly free jazz-elephant, transparent like a soap bubble, happily hooting about, sporting big ears. And he can fly. In a multi-dimensional space a pink elephant is dancing along to Happy Vamping. Unexpectedly finding himself on Earth in the middle of the Ruhr area and in the midst of his Eigene Tat, he would much rather be a cube, sitting in the Berlin Tiergarten and at least enjoying 'Einweinfrei'.
