Fischer was Schröder's foreign minister and his sharp-tongued conscience during the seven-year coalition between the SPD and the Greens.

 TrouserPress.com :: Wild Man Fischer
Originally discovered, signed and produced by Frank Zappa in the late '60s, he resurfaces periodically through the auspices of Dr. Demento and Rhino Records (for whom he once recorded the crypto-commercial "Go to Rhino Records").
Utterly uninhibited and basically incapable of carrying a tune, Fischer recorded some of Wildmania (the Rhino label's first-ever album release) in the left field (ahem) stands of Dodger Stadium; largely unaccompanied, he moans such dadaist attempts at musical expression as "My Name Is Larry" (twice) and generally performs in truly sad fashion.
Pronounced Normal is much better, an entertaining and funny program of music and "skits" that ranges from a lovely (if atonal) guitar-assisted version of Brian Wilson's "In My Room" to a solo vocal rendition of "Fish Heads," composed (as is much of the material) by Barnes and Barnes, the disciples who also produced it.
