Comment on the song in this Das Poop thread in our Dada Forum.


Rrose Selavy was recorded in 1968 in an Army Surplus Store in the bowels of Paris, France, and is the only remaining known recording of Das Poop in its original configuration. Das Poop made Dada and music history that night.



Rrose Sélavy, the feminine alter ego created by Marcel Duchamp, is one of the most complex and pervasive pieces in the enigmatic puzzle of the artist's oeuvre. She first emerged in portraits made by the photographer Man Ray in New York in the early 1920s, when Duchamp and Man Ray were collaborating on a number of conceptual photographic works. Rrose Sélavy lived on as the person to whom Duchamp attributed specific works of art, Readymades, puns, and writings throughout his career. By creating for himself this female persona whose attributes are beauty and eroticism, he deliberately and characteristically complicated the understanding of his ideas and motives.
