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."
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.
An animated story of an unusual kingdom in which everything and everybody is pointed - except for a young boy named Oblio(provided by Mike Lookinland, an actor best known as young Bobby Brady on the television series The Brady Bunch). Despite his round head, Oblio has many friends. But an evil count, jealous that Oblio is more popular than his own son, says that without a pointed head, Oblio is an outlaw. Along with his faithful dog Arrow, Oblio is exiled to the Pointless Forest. There, he has many fantastic experiences (including encounters with a 3-headed man, giant bees, a tree in the leaf-selling business, and a good-humored old rock). From his adventures, Oblio learns that it is not at all necessary to be pointed to have a point in life. Music composed and performed by Harry Nilsson (...

Harry Nilsson - Skidoo (1968) The Point! (1971)
15 February 1971 was D-Day - or rather Decimalisation Day, when the British gave up their traditional pounds, shillings and pence (and guineas, ten-bob notes, half crowns and threepenny bits) in favour of what in theory was a much simpler system. But, as this film demonstrates, many found it confusing, particularly people like old Granny Collins (Doris Hare) who'd spent a long life with 'LSD' and wasn't about to change. This dramatised documentary, sponsored by the Decimal Currency Board, predicts the effects of decimalisation on her family and sought to explain the changes in ways that everyone could understand.

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
