    • 1967, Jagger–Richards (lyrics and music), “Something Happened to Me Yesterday”, in Between the Buttons, performed by The Rolling Stones:
      Someone says there's something more to pay
      for sins that you committed yesterday;
      it's really rather drippy
      but something oh so trippy.
      Something happened to me yesterday.
    • 2020 January 22, Stuart Jeffries, “Terry Jones obituary”, in The Guardian‎:
      Arguably, without Jones, Monty Python’s Flying Circus (1969-74) would not have revolutionised British TV comedy. He was key in developing the show’s distinctively trippy, stream-of-consciousness format, where each surreal set-up (the Lumberjack Song, the upper-class twit of the year show, the dead parrot, or the fish-slapping dance) flowed into the next, unpunctuated by punchlines.
