Another one from Alan Parson's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination", which adapts the works of Edgar Allan Poe to music.
Basically, the story is about a doctor who travels to a French mental asylum to learn of a revolutionary technique used on patients. Invited to dinner, he eventually learns his host has gone insane and the guests at the dinner are the inmates who have taken over the asylum. The "system of tar and feather" is how the inmates deal with the original staff.
With it's repetitive "just what you need", the song doe succeed in producing the feeling of being at a party of the insane. The question is of course, is where insanity lies.
