The Story Behind: Harry Nilsson -Nilsson Schmilsson, Ep 198 — 1001 Album Complaints

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Harry Nilsson ping-ponged through the songwriter-for-hire business and got some very famous admirers in the process before finding critical success with his breakthrough hit Nilsson Schmilsson. The fellas welcome an old friend and discuss half-baked song structures, detuned bass parts, and what song to listen to while crying in the Target parking lot.
