"Careful With That Axe Eugene" is in fact the b-side to their 5th single, "Point Me At The Sky"

the b-side to "It Would Be So Nice", their 4th single, was "Julia Dream"

early versions of the song had the titles "Murderistic Women", or "Keep Smiling People"

in 1969 it was included as part of the extended suite "The Man and The Journey", with yet another alternate name: "Beset By The Creatures of the Deep"

throughout 1969 and 1970 Eugene was usually paired live with the song "Green Is the Colour", which segued into it

[edit] Careful with that oxygen?

That line kind of strikes me as being urban-mythy, is there any documentation of there being some drug called oxygen? Erowid.org doesn't have anything listed under the slang & terminology vault. 66.110.241.82 20:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

i agree, that sounds like bullshit. without citation, i think it should go.69.181.121.40 07:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

If it stays at least say what the drugs real name was as well ,not just a street name BauerPower 21:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rant

"a loud (and largely indecipherable) pictish rant"

Picts states (correctly) that the language hasn't survived, so this strikes me as a bit unlikely. --84.92.81.68 15:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
