“We've declared a war against antidisestablishmentarianism!”
~ Singer to UK Media
“Go'en fook yaa graanny!”
~ British guitarist Tony Hill discussing music at rehearsal
“Playing my bass through an atomic reactor!”
~ Bass player Steve Whiting replies to a reporters question, "What's your next innovation?"
The Misunderstood are a cosmic irony. A Skiff band from South London, discovered by young American DJ John Peel, they hitched a ride to Singapore in 1966 and became Psychedelic Music icons, like, just now, 45 years later. They are well known as the “Greatest LOST band of the 60s.” The Best Band that ever wasn’t. A rare distinction.

[edit] Musical Output
Before they folded (when their singer joined the US Marines Special Forces) the band popped all the fuses and recorded a whopping 3,721 classic Hippie or Psychedelic Music songs in UK to the horror of the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore.
[edit] Anti-antidisestablishmentarianism
After his giving anti-antidisestablishmentarianism interviews to foreign media and proclaiming a war against adults, a law was passed by the Queen against the lead singer (ref. RB-Must-Die-In-Paris-Tunnel: HM Law# 265998566075623). Rather than ruin a good Fiat Brown was forced out of the band, put into a time machine, and was being transferred to WWIV. With just a couple thousand choices to choose from Brown took the third choice and ran-like-hell from his hide-out in E. Berlin in 1967 after which he fled to Mecca, where he lived as a Hindu celebrate-student, until gaining amnesty when the US declared victory in the “body count” game with Vietnam.
[edit] Aftermath
After the band’s break up, members of the group wandered the deserts of Death Valley before finding a (empty) magic-mushroom soup can, attached to a string leading up into the sky, and used this can to make a call to God and establish The Misunderstood memorial in Heaven. And God said let there be Rock, and the Misunderstood music was played, and God looked pleased and said, “Bitchen!” To this day there is a Misunderstood memorial in heaven and only the sinless can witness its glory. St John (Peel) still plays I Can’t Take You To the Sun on his turntable over at cloud #52966-DJ/BBC (only)1(ever). So all those who don’t dig Misunderstood music had better go to Hell, where White Christmas as sung by Pat Boone (with Dick Dale on session guitar) is played ad infinitum.
[edit] Seven Dwarfs
Although the band recorded a total of 3,271 songs (or 3,721 songs - I mean, what's the difference!?), seven of these songs are considered, like, radical, dude! These are known as “The Seven Dwarfs” (mainly because these songs eternally "dwarf" ALL Psychedelic Music competition, past-present-future).
