The Point!

The Point! is a fable by American songwriter and musician Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. There have been at least three adaptations of The Point!: an animated film, an album, and a musical play, each featuring songs written by Nilsson to accompany the story. The album is Nilsson's sixth.

Nilsson said of his inspiration for The Point: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it."

Story

The round-headed Oblio has had to wear a pointed hat since birth to conceal his "pointless" condition from his pointy-headed peers. However, Oblio is accepted in the town despite his nonconformity until one day when the son of an evil count is unwittingly dishonored by Oblio. The count's son challenges Oblio to a one-on-one game of Triangle Toss where participants catch triangles on their heads. Oblio wins with the help of his dog Arrow. In a fit of rage, the count, who wants his son to rule the land one day, confronts the good-hearted but timid king to reaffirm the law of the land, which states that those who are pointless must be banished from the kingdom and into the Pointless Forest. A jury reluctantly convicts both Oblio and Arrow leaving the king has no choice but to send the pair away.

    The Point

    by: Vanilla Sky

    Another day closed in my mind
    Think of the things they say I like
    They take my time I loose the sight
    Of all the things I really need
    Scared of anything I'm not
    I'm looking for the answer you've got
    I'm not made up of what you
    I'll catch the secret
    And put it in my head
    I won't let them the chance to use me anymore
    I Feel confused now
    And lost inside me
    cause they want me to give up everything I love
    And while they're trying to waste my time
    Condemning people for every kind
    Of difference as a human race
    I'm makin' my own theory
    Now I've got an answer
    Now I Know There's something wrong
    You're what you have not what you are
    I catch the secret
    And put it in my head
    And Now I'm Sure that they won't use me anymore
    I Felt confused there
    And lost inside me
    But now I won't give up everything that I love
    I won't believe you care at all
    And everytime that you'll say goodbye
    I'll watch my back from your hate
    For every people who fells in disgrace
    For every prayer to God that I made
    For every time I lost my pride
    I catch the secret
    And put it in my head
    And Now I'm Sure that they won't use me
    I Felt confused there
    And lost inside me
