what does “beware the friendly stranger” make you think of?

for me, it makes me picture a playground with a bunch of kids on a sunny day with a tall man in a trench coat watching from a distance

Makes me feel the same way I feel when I hear an ice cream truck in the distance.

It gives you the urge to eat a Cornetto with a '99 Flake?

I just looked at the Bocpages entry for this tune for the first time. I wasn't aware of the Iluminatus Trilogy connection....

The 'Friendly Stranger' is mentioned, as the name of a bar, in "The Illuminatus! Trilogy". It's in the chapter entitled "the second trip, or chokmah":

Makes me think of 70s TV, UK public information films - along the lines of “Charlie says don’t play with matches” and the kids that decide to climb an electricity pylon to retrieve their frisbee

I just think of shades of brown with film grain over it.

Forestry, and the feeling of being watched.

Though I'd like to imagine the title could be a reference to corruptive governments
