"Mushroom" is a song by the German krautrock band Can, from their 1971 album Tago Mago.
According to Michael Karoli, the explosion was created using firecrackers and "slowing them down to around one-sixteenth their normal speed".
[3] It has also been suggested that the lyrics refer to psilocybin mushrooms, which can give users psychedelic visions of rebirth.
The Serbian and former Yugoslav space rock band Igra Staklenih Perli covered the song on their eponymous debut album in 1979.
The Flaming Lips' song "Take Meta Mars" from In a Priest Driven Ambulance is closely modeled on "Mushroom."
