Music and audio performances

• Leary provided the spoken word intro to the live version of Third Eye from Tool's Aenima album with his phrase: "Think for yourself; question authority." Material from comedian Bill Hicks was used for the studio version.
• In 1966 he recorded an album "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out" (Original release: Mercury 21131 (mono)/61131 (stereo), US 1967) which was ostensibly a "user manual" for a self-guided LSD "trip". While the album did poorly in general release, it has become one of the rarest "memorabilia" and prized of posessions of many Leary collections. One track, "All The Girls Are Yours" has been performed repeatedly by others, and was even re-recorded in 2004.
• In 1973 he recorded the album "Seven Up" with the German band Ash Ra Tempel.
• He was also mentioned in the musical Hair in the two songs Manchester, England and The Flesh Failures.
• He appeared as guest vocalist on the opening track track Gila Copter of the Revolting Cocks 1993 album Linger Ficken' Good... and Other Barnyard Oddities.

Games

• Equal parts party game, roleplaying game and social simulation, Timothy Leary's Mind Mirror was released for Commodore 64 computers by Electronic Arts in 1985.
