About "Weelkes: 26 Ayeres or Phantasticke Spirites: No. 14, Four Arms, Two Necks" by The King's Singers

Four arms, two necks—Weelkes turns anatomy into a bawdy riddle. The King's Singers deliver the absurdity with straight-faced precision, each vocal line a limb of some impossible creature. The tension is comic and carnal: bodies entangled in counterpoint, desire mapped onto geometry, laughter echoing through the madrigal's formal cage.
