It is over.
Apart from the first two tracks, that was rubbish, packed with self-indulgence and silliness.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

When I was little some hippie friend of my Mum told me what happens at the end and I was put off of it forever.

It is over. I can't find a picture of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimore as Easy Rider. 
That was alright. Maybe it needed more Jimi,
Still, Little Eva

Jack Nicholson is fantastic in it, even the frame composition of the film improves when he turns up. The rest, less so.

Was Toni Basil ever officially entered into the pantheon of "Noses of Distinction"?

Good lordi, that's pretty much what he sings,
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Dirty b*stard!

It doesn't really deserve it, but I'll give it ★★★☆☆.
A thing of its time.
Well, in the US perhaps.
Musically it was typical of that '69-'71 era - a bit stuck in the middle.
A prime example of the brief 'death of the '60s dream' genre I s'pose.

Smith actually had a hit. It got to Number 5 on the US chart in 1969!

Trans.
Take a load off your arse (fanny) - sit down and unburden yourself.
Take a load for free - don't sweat it, I'm asking nothing in return.
Put the load right on me - Don't worry, I'll take on your burdens.
It's the verses that perplex me.

That is the most 1969 thing ever.
