Speaking of multi-grooved records, MAD Magazine once included a flexible vinyl record in one of their Super Special issues. It featured a really dumb little song ("It's a Super Spectacular Day") The first minute or so was the same every time you played it, but the last part of the record could branch off onto one of twelve different endings. (All of them very brief.) Unfortunately, this meant you had to listen to this inane little tune many many times to hear all of the different options. (There was no way to select which one you would get, it was just a random chance of whichever groove your needle decided to take.) By the tenth play-through, I gave up and never put that damn thing on again.
