The Fall scored a ballet once. Well, an experimental artsy-fartsy dance show. It was called "I am Curious, Orange", and produced by contemporary dance group Michael Clark & Company. It was themed loosely around the 300th anniversary of William of Orange's accession to the English throne.
i know they had a dancer for this clip but i didnt know that

You can see bits and pieces of the ballet I mentioned in these clips:

Captain Beefheart - Big Eyed Beans From Venus (live)

Although it's the astonishing bass, guitar & drums symbiosis that make this song for me. Amazing!

Skiptracer by Sonic Youth

Too lazy to post a link for these, but they are probably two of my all time favourite SY songs and they're both spoken word.
