Mister America Walk on by Your schools that do not teach Mister America Walk on by The minds that won't be reached Mister America Try to hide The emptiness that's you inside When once you find that the way you lied And all the corny tricks you tried Will not forestall the rising tide of Hungry freaks, Daddy . . . They won't go For no more Great mid-western hardware store Philosophy that turns away From those who aren't afraid to say What's on their minds (The left-behinds of the Great Society) Hungry freaks, Daddy . . . Mister America Walk on by Your supermarket dream Mister America Walk on by The liquor store supreme Mister America Try to hide The product of your savage pride The useful minds that it denied The day you shrugged and stepped aside You saw their clothes and then you cried: THOSE HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY! They won't go For no more Great mid-western hardware store Philosophy that turns away From those who aren't afraid to say What's on their minds (The left-behinds of the Great Society) 2.

'Cause, baby, what you got, yeah, It sure ain't what I need Girl you'd better go Girl you'd better go away I think that life with you would be Just not quite the thing for me Why is it so hard to see my way? Why should I be stuck with you It's just not what I want to do Why should an embrace or two Make me such a part of you? I ain't got no heart to give away 3. Who Are The Brain Police? 3:33

You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore vol. 5 Roxy & Elsewhere Does Humor Belong In Music? The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life
Well I'm about to get sick From watchin' my TV Been checkin' out the news Until my eyeballs fail to see I mean to say that every day Is just another rotten mess And when it's gonna change, my friend Is anybody's guess So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Wednesday I watched the riot . . . Seen the cops out on the street Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff And chokin' in the heat Listened to reports About the whisky passin' 'round Seen the smoke and fire And the market burnin' down Watched while everybody On his street would take a turn To stomp and smash and bash and crash And slash and bust and burn And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Well, you can cool it, You can heat it . . . 'Cause, baby, I don't need it . . . Take your TV tube and eat it 'N all that phony stuff on sports 'N all the unconfirmed reports You know I watched that rotten box Until my head begin to hurt From checkin' out the way The newsman say they get the dirt Before the guys on channel so-and-so And further they assert That any show they'll interrupt To bring you news if it comes up They say that if the place blows up They will be the first to tell, Because the boys they got downtown Are workin' hard and doin' swell, And if anybody gets the news Before it hits the street, They say that no one blabs it faster Their coverage can't be beat

And if another woman driver Gets machine-gunned from her seat They'll send some joker with a brownie And you'll see it all complete So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Hey, you know something people? I'm not black But there's a whole lots a times I wish I could say I'm not white Well, I seen the fires burnin' And the local people turnin' On the merchants and the shops Who used to sell their brooms and mops And every other household item Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em And they say it served 'em right Because a few of them are white, And it's the same across the nation Black and white discrimination Yellin' "You can't understand me!" 'N all that other jazz they hand me In the papers and TV and All that mass stupidity That seems to grow more every day Each time you hear some nitwit say He wants to go and do you in Because the color of your skin Just don't appeal to him (No matter if it's black or white) Because he's out for blood tonight You know we got to sit around at home And watch this thing begin But I bet there won't be many live To see it really end 'Cause the fire in the street Ain't like the fire in the heart And in the eyes of all these people Don't you know that this could start On any street in any town In any state if any clown Decides that now's the time to fight For some ideal he thinks is right And if a million more agree There ain't no Great Society As it applies to you and me Our country isn't free And the law refuses to see If all that you can ever be Is just a lousy janitor Unless your uncle owns a store You know that five in every four Just won't amount to nothin' more Gonna watch the rats go across the floor And make up songs about being poor Blow your harmonica, son! 13.

No-one could ever understand our bizarre relationship because I was your intellectual frigid housekeeper. Especially when you'd be going to bed with one chick at night and I wake up in the morning and find another one there, screaming at me . . . ha ha . . . Asked me what the fuck that chick was doing in your bed and I'd walk in and you weren't with the same one you were in the night before. Oh, I'll never forget that, as long as I live. That house, well it had your shit all over . . . and we had a cat and we had fleas and we had lots of crabs that we proceeded to give to everyone in Laurel Canyon except for Elmer and Phil, because they were too sick to ball . . . ha ha . . . Elmer has a mentality of approximately One Peanut. Possibly. As a matter of fact, I can remember Elmer telling me that you really had a lot of talent, but he didn't see how anyone could ever make it that insisted on saying FUCK on stage. And he used to drive by in his gold Cadillac and peer in the window . . . ha ha . . . 'Cause he never could get over the amount of groupie status that, that you had and he didn't.

I heard them on two occasions, and on the second occasion I went up to Jim Black and I said, "I like your music, and I'd like to come down and play with you." Two days later I came up to the recording session, and Frank Zappa was sitting in the control room. I walked up and said, "How'd you do, my name is Ian Underwood and I like your music and I'd like to play with your group." Frank Zappa says, "What can you do that's fantastic?" I said, "I can play alto saxophone and piano." He said, "All right, whip it out." 17.

I realize it takes a long time, but God damn does it take another five, ten years from now? FZ: There's some months when you're not gonna work as much as other months. There's some months when you're gonna make a lot of money, and if you average it out, you do make more than two hundred dollars a month. JCB: Expenses are sure high, too. If we'd all been living in California, it would've been different. FZ: If we'd all been living in California, we wouldn't work at all! JCB: Ah that's -- true . . . Well, we're not working n-now anyway! We worked one gig this month, Frank! What's wrong with getting two months in a row of this good money? Or three months in a row? Then we can afford to take three or four months off and everybody can . . . After the first month I can get just enough ahead, but if I had two more months, man, I'll get ahead.

Don: We're coming to the beginning of a new era wherein the development of the inner self is the most important thing. We have to train ourselves. So that we can improvise on anything: a bird, a sock, a fuming beaker. This is, this too can be music. Anything can be music. FZ: Hello? Yeah, are you busy? Well I was wondering --this is Frank-- can you come, yeah, can you come over here and be in our uh, teen-age movie? Okay, well, I'll tell you what the action is . . . Phyllis: He's eating. FZ: Ok, he's eating, you see . . . Don Preston . . . Well, it depends, mostly it's a hamburger, sometimes, well he doesn't wanna eat the hamburger, 'cause he's a vegetarian . . . Okay now, Phyllis is here . . . Phyllis . . . Phyllis: Who's Phyllis? FZ: No, no, no, Phyllis is the girl that's the, my assistant editor on the, on the film . . . Yeah, she used to be Tom Wilson's secretary . . . Ok . . . You remember Tom Wilson were gonna run for President? 6:51 Aynsley: You're Tom Wilson? Carl: Yeah. Aynsley: Yeah? Carl: Then she came out here work on the Woodstock festival. Ray: What are you doing with that chicken? Carl: And then uh, then . . . Ray: I was measuring the ball. Carl: Then Frank hired her to work on the Mothers movie. 7:00 Phyllis: Hi, I'm Phyllis Altenhaus, and I'm working with Frank Zappa on his film Uncle Meat, in Hollywood. I'm a little nervous doing this 'cause it's the first time I'd even been a star in a film. I originally started working for Frank as his assistant editor on the film Uncle Meat, and one day we were sitting around watching the Festival Hall shots, the rushes, and I saw Don come on the screen -Don Preston plays the monster-- and I said, "Frank, look at Don! He's turning into a monster! I'm gonna vomit!" FZ: When she sees him turning into a monster she has to vomit. Phyllis: Frank said, "That's it, that's the opening of the line, that, that, I mean, that's the opening of the picture." I said, "Frank, I can't be in your picture, first of all, I have such a bad Brooklyn accent, I'm embarrased by the whole thing!" And he said, "Don't worry, you'll do it." So, you know, with Frank, he has a certain way about him, I mean he just gets people to do these things. Don: He just makes me sick when he changes into a monster. Phyllis: Why? Why does he make you sick? Don: Oh, can't you see it how, how . . . ugly it is that, being that monster? Oh, just, I can't stand it, I, I think I'm gonna be sick, I have to vomit.

FZ: She just, she tells me she has to vomit, see. She's trying to make me believe that it makes her sick when he turns into a monster. Phyllis: There's something about that that gets me so nauseous, I don't know what it is. Look at that, look at that. FZ: Yeah, but it's not true. Well, you see, it gets her hot. Phyllis: There's something so sexy about him. When he comes on that stage, I get so hot just looking at him drinking that, that smoke stuff, I don't know what it is. I don't even care if he turns into a monster, I love it . . . Don: Oh dear! Phyllis: Look at that, oh him with the cape, but he doesn't, he walks away. It's such a hot move and he, he's so terrific when he goes back to that gong, oh, that's so nice . . . Boy, I hope no one ever finds out I love it so much, that hot monster . . . oh, ooh . . . Don: You're really good at those dials, baby. You're the most manipulating person I've ever seen. Phyllis: I don't like to be called manipulating, that's for sure, but I like to think of myself as being hot. FZ: She gets hot. And then she runs into the toilet, and she stands in front of the mirror and she makes faces to herself so she can turn into a monster. Isn't it cute? That's right, then, when she does that, and she's having a fantasy that she's turning into a monster, the monster comes out of the toilet from behind her. 9:30 Phyllis: Oh . . . a little lower, please. Don: How do you work all those controls in there? That's really fantastic . . . Phyllis: Oh, it's nothing. Don: All of those buttons and switches . . . Phyllis: It's nothing. Look, look what's going on there! Oh . . . oh, wow, this . . . Don: I just can't see how a girl could do all that. Phyllis: Oh, now with the, the Women's Liberation Front we can do anything, you're kidding? Oh . . . oh! It's so good! Don: This girl obviously has some sort of demented problem in where she, she likes uh, monsters that drink foamy vile liquid and uh transform. It must be some uh, connection in her past, in her childhood of something. Maybe her father didn't demonstrate enough uh, affection for her. It's a . . . Phyllis: Oh . . . it's been so long . . . Don: Tell me, did your father demonstrate any affection for you? Phyllis: I've been watching you on the screen for four weeks . . . Finally, my monster . . . Is it real? Is it really you? Oh that feels, oh, monster, can I have a bite off of your apple? Don: Mm . . . I think that uh . . . Phyllis: It's so nice to be here with a monster finally . . . Don: It must be uh, her mother and father probably told her that she's real ugly and awkward and dumb and everything . . . Phyllis: It's a good apple, monster. Don: And so she relates to people that are ugly, dumb and awkward. Phyllis: Let me take off your hat so I can really see what's happening underneath there. Just what I thought, a monster head. Don: You'll find this is quite common in uh, today's society Phyllis: It's like Adam and Eve and the apple . . . Finally, here's my monster . . . after all this time . . . Don: That's why monster movies are so popular, you know? Phyllis: I'd waited and waited . . . Don: D'you know how many a monster movie costs to make? Phyllis: And there he is, he's right here. Don: Monster movies really cost a lot of money. Phyllis: Sitting with me, I can't believe it! Is it really you, monster? Don: And our young society today goes to all these monster movies and they see them on television night after night. Phyllis: It's so terrific to be with the monster. Don: We're raising a new generation of monster lovers. Phyllis: I've been waiting so long for the monster . . . Maybe this'll be the real thing. 12:20 Don: He's changing into a monster! You should see this! God, I get so hot!

Aynsley: Would you like a quick vibrator? Now you've ruined the whole thing Carl: Have I? I'll take one down! Aynsley: Oh, cheers . . . Carl: I thought you get the walking four balls. Aynsley: No no . . . Carl: It's difficult to walk on three. Don: I'm using the chicken to measure it. Carl: Don? Don: I'm using the chicken to measure it. Aynsley: Charles. Phyllis: Aynsley Dunbar, who's playing with Frank now, this real English popstar, very attractive guy, and he's like into a whole groupie thing with whips and things, don't ask me, and Frank got this great idea, actually he gets this great idea for me, to have Aynsley in the Hollywood Ranch Market, which we just did last night, hit him with toilet brushes. It's, it's a little dumb but I went along with it, you know, what else are you gonna do? You're getting paid and uh, you do these things. 13:19 Phyllis: Cleanser . . . cleanser . . . cleanser . . . cleanser . . . cleanser ... Aynsley: Hello, there! Phyllis: Cleanser . . . cleanser . . . Aynsley: Say, could you do me a favour? Could you beat me with a toilet brush? Phyllis: Beat you with a toilet brush? Aynsley: Shhh . . . someone might hear . . . yes, beat me with a toilet brush. Phyllis: What's your name? Aynsley: Ah, hello, my name is Aynsley Dunbar and I, I'm very interested in whips and canes, etc. I'm gonna fill, fill you in about uh, my background. FZ: Are you absolutely serious about this? You really like whips and canes? Aynsley: Oh yeah, yeah. FZ: And you like--? Aynsley: I didn't have too much chance to use 'em here, as yet, because it's, you know the screams and that, would most likely wake the kids up! No, actually I'm moving on though to toilet brushes and things, 'cause I think they'll be coming in this year . . . definitely. Phyllis: You want me to beat you with the toilet brush? Aynsley: Yes. Phyllis: I mean like uh, I'm ready! 14:37 Phyllis: You know, I'll tell you something, I find myself saying, "I'm ready," you know, and like, I slap my face when I'm saying, "I'm ready," because it's like uh, in the house I'm saying, "I'm ready," you know? And . . . there has to be a limit. Phyllis: That's a whip, I guessed right, you know I saw this handle sticking up here and I like, I, I guessed it right on first, you know? Like I know . . . FZ: Beat him while you're talking. Phyllis: You know like . . . I tell you something. I hope it's not getting your kidney or anything like that. Aynsley: Oh look, keep, keep, just keep it high, just keep it high. Phyllis: You know what I mean? I got worried about those things, I got . . . you know I'm humane, Aquarius and all this . . . Aynsley: That's great . . . that's. . . Phyllis: Venus is arising, you know, I'm humane. Aynsley: Just keep it high. Oh, love it, yeah, right. Phyllis: Uhm . . . well, let's see . . . FZ: Ask him, "Does it get you hot?" Phyllis: Is it getting you hot? Aynsley: Oh, maybe it would do if I had another 'bout fifteen people. 15:20

Don: I know what gets you hot. Hamburgers get you hot, 'cause I picked you up in the pool hall! Phyllis: You don't know what gets me hot, you don't have the faintest idea what gets me hot! Don: Sure! Hamburgers! Look at this . . . Phyllis: I can't take it . . . Don: See that? Phyllis: I can't take it . . . oh, God, that hamburger! Don: But you don't know what gets me hot. Phyllis: I'd bet I know what gets you hot. Sticks, sticks on your body on a table get you hot. Don: I'm getting hot! . . . When I was drinking the potion . . . and that hat and that cape and everything . . . just incredible . . . I'd . . . wonder what it's like to, to change into a monster . . . it must be really great. Phyllis: It's just so wonderful. Give me a bite of the apple there . . . Mmm, oh, my monster! Oh, that's so terr-- Oh! I love that, when a monster does that, mm . . . Well, I've just been thinking, monster, we can take rides in the country in the Volkswagen . . . and, my monster, you're feeling me up, my monster. FZ: It does get you hot. Phyllis: Well . . . it doesn't get me hot. FZ: I saw you laying on the floor in the corner with him! Phyllis: I, it wasn't me laying in the corner! That was, that wasn't me! FZ: Ha ha . . . Who was it? Phyllis: That was Sheba! It wasn't me! FZ: Who is Sheba? Ha ha! Phyllis: Sheba is the one that's in love with Don. 17:09 Don: And why, why do you like monsters? Phyllis: It's, it's not their looks, it's the intellectual thing that comes across, you know, you could tell that, I, looks aren't important to me, it's something about the intelligence. When you mix that potion, you know when I've seen you mix that potion, I don't know, it's the intellectual way I get hot. Don: Yeah, but what causes this? Phyllis: You know what I mean? Don: I mean, well . . . Phyllis: It's, it's hotness. 17:39 Phyllis: It used to be very, it was really nice and quiet in this place, that's why I came here, because of the feeling like, like a place to get away from things, and now what's going on, it's like all noise and . . . I don't know, it doesn't . . . wherever you go nowadays it's the same thing, all these guys they're so disgusting, I can't stand it . . . Don: Look, anybody . . . anybody sitting here? Phyllis: No! Go right ahead, sit down! Don: Thanks. Anybody drinking this beer in here? Phyllis: No, I don't know what the bartender . . . he just left it there, I don't know what's going on . . . Don: My name is Biff Debris. Phyllis: Oh, hi! Sheba Flieschman. Don: How d'you do? Phyllis: So and uh, your name is Biff Debris. Don: Yeah. Phyllis: You know, funny thing, if we got married my name would be Sheba DeBiff. Don: My name is Biff Debris, not Debris DeBiff. Phyllis: Debris? Don: Yeah. Phyllis: Biff Debris . . . well, I'll tell you something, I once knew someone whose name was Dubois. It, it sort of sounds like Debris, you know what I mean? Like, is that French, or what? Don: Well, actually I'm part Mohawk and part Norwegian. Phyllis: Excuse me. Is the hamburger ready yet? Don: What sign are you? Phyllis: Uh, I'm Aquarius with Venus rising on my past. Don: Really? Phyllis: Yeah. It's really good sign because it's the Aquarian age now, you know? And like, it's all coming together. You know what I

mean by coming together? Don: Yeah. Phyllis: I think since I came from New York, you know, I'm really ... Don: Are you from New York? Phyllis: Yeah, you can't tell! Huh? Don: No . . . Phyllis: I tell you something, so it really means that I'm losing my accent, you know, because the other day I was talking to someone and they couldn't guess either, well, I asked them, I said to them, "Where do you think I'm from?" And you know they said, they said, "New Jersey," you know, so, and New Jersey accent is really completely different, you know? Like, it depends so, if you come from Patterson, it's different from Trenton and Orange County, but you know, I say "Orange" like this, "Orange," 'cause that's in California they say, "Orange," you know? Don: What's the, what's the matter with uh, Debris? Phyllis: That's one thing I stayed away from. Don: Alright, you're free . . .

Phyllis: There are clothes in there for me for the shower? 20:47 Phyllis: Say he devised this plan, this is how this clothes and the shower thing all came by, because I was too embarrassed to stand in the shower. First roll, you know, I'm not gonna be standing naked but, the whole thing's taking out, so I figured, "Okay, I'll wear dungarees and a shirt." And, and anyway to tell you the truth I think it's sexier because, you see like just a little outline . . . tiny little bit, you know, like, poinnnng! Phyllis: I don't understand it, but it's like . . . Don: I mean . . . Phyllis: It's your trip, man! You know? Like, it's alright with me, you know? I don't care.

FZ: Hi, Phyllis, why don't you want to take your clothes off with the monster? Phyllis: Because I'm embarrassed to. FZ: What's there to be embarrassed about? Phyllis: Well, I've never done that before, and I don't wanna do it now! FZ: But why don't you wanna do it? Phyllis: I'd rather not. There's no reason, I'd just rather not. FZ: But what's the matter? You got an ugly body? Phyllis: No, I have a great body. I just don't wanna do it. FZ: But why don't you wanna do it if you've got a great body? Don't you wanna share it with the world?

Oh . . . FZ: Wouldn't that be better if you had your clothes off then you can uh, enforce him on your arms? Phyllis: No, I . . . don't need my clothes off, I can get the gratification that I want just like this. Phyllis: Oh, doesn't that feel good, oh, it's so great. I'm so glad that I met you today . . .

Eeeuhh! Ha ha ha! Ah . . . ah . . . aaaaaaAAAAH! Ooh wha . . . ooh! Hhh . . . aaahhh ...

26:44 Don: We're coming to the beginning of a new era at the motel, where we have been working secretly on a new composition in the back room, in our secret chambers. 'Cause everything is secret. We're trying to get the secret karma change for the whole world, you see, like this whole karma thing, it's really what's causing all the problems, so we have to get a composition and, I'm sure that it's going to be a hit single, because everyone is going out and buying our new hit single, for this group that uh . . . FZ: "You remember our other single 'The Bun'?" Don: Yeah, you remember our other single, "The Bun"? See, this, this was our last composition . . . Aynsley: Plugging it in . . . Don: And uh, it was pretty hard to play because uh, some of the members of the group couldn't read music, you see? But we got it all straightened out and, some of them quit and everything but . . . Aynsley?: A few holes in the Brothers . . . Don: Uh, with our new arrangement we really hope to do big things, you know? Like we hope to change every single person's karma and that in turn will change and upgrade all the ecology problems, all the polution and all the air and everything, you know? And this right here is the composition I was speaking of and uh, this is the guitar part, this is the vocal, this is the bass part, and this little section over here could be for the dancer, but she keeps quitting all the time so we don't really know uh, if she's gonna be in it which she is now or just take it out like that. Now, it's very difficult to compose this type of thing, because like, the slightest movement that you can make of one single article could define whether it's underground or real commercial, see? If we put the sock over here it's more commercial than if it were over here, then it's real underground, you understand? So we take you now to the motel, where the group is deep in . . . just deep. 28:56 Motorhead: . . . straightest member is the writer, you know what I ... Don: Hey, listen you guys, I would like just . . . Meredith: These guys can work together. Don: Talk about the arrangement here Aynsley: How about that new drum solo you just worked out? Don: I've got a new composition. Meredith: It's rhythmic, huh? Motorhead: Now that's beautiful. Don: Listen . . . Silence, fools! . . . SILENCE, FOOLS! Don't you believe in progress? Carl: I'm using the chicken to measure it. FZ?: Take that progress and stick it under a rock! Carl: I'm using the chicken to measure it . . . I'm using the chicken to measure it . . . I'm using the chicken to measure it . . . I'm using the chicken to measure it . . . I'm using the chicken to measure it . . . I'm using the chicken to measure it . . . I'm using the chicken to measure it. FZ: What are you doing with the chicken? Carl: I'm using the chicken to measure it. FZ: What are you doing with the chicken? Carl: I'm using the chicken to measure it. Motorhead: Outta site! That's outta site! Meredith: That's beautiful! FZ: What are you doing with the chicken? Carl: I'm using . . . Don: That's what we need for our new song. Meredith: That was a good composition! Motorhead: We got it! Aynsley: Can you write one like that then? Don: I did! Well . . . Ray?: You would? I mean . . . Don: At last night, that's . . . Ray: That's when he starts in with the guitar . . . ? Don: Now look . . . Ray: Then he comes in with his guitar solo? Don: You guys, do you see this over here? Ray: Why does he have this? Don: Can you see this over here? This is the new composition that we're going to make a hit single with.

Aynsley: What's it called, "Junk Shuffle"? Don: No . . . Ray: "Junkyard." Aynsley: What's it called? Carl: I'm using the chicken to measure it. FZ: It's called "We're using the chicken to measure it." Carl: I'm using the chicken to measure it. Don: Right, "We're using the chicken to measure it." Well, I couldn't get a chicken, I, all I got was . . . Motorhead: That would be the title. Ray's got a chicken. Aynsley: Yeah! Motorhead: You can use Ray's chicken to measure it. Don: But uh . . . FZ: No, no, that's part of the concept, you're using the chicken to measure the pitch in? Aynsley: It's what I choose. Don: Oh, I see, yeah, are we using the chicken to measure it? Motorhead: Or drumming? Don: I'll show you, this is . . . Ray: How about a sock? Motorhead: I thought it was cooler. Don: This is the guitar part, right here. Motorhead: Then let me see . . . Aynsley: Pull her. Motorhead: It's that what I play? That's my part. Don: That's your part. Motorhead: Oh, that A . . . Don: And this is a new concept. Motorhead: I can't learn that by tomorrow, man, there's no way. Don: Tonight. Motorhead: I can't learn it tonight! Don: Listen, I got the time booked. Motorhead: I can't even . . . Aynsley: Tonight? OW! Don: At the Hollywodd Ranch Market tonight, man! Meredith: That's pretty heavy, man. Aynsley: But tonight?! Meredith: That's pretty heavy . . . Motorhead: My strings are flat, my pickups are shot, do Herbie wouldn't give us an advance so I can buy some new strings and an amp? Don: Listen, I'll take care of everything. 30:52 Don: You see, Countess, the problem is uh, it's very hard to talk about but, the guys need equipment, you know like he needs batteries and uh, and, and uh, needs strings for his guitar, you know? And, and some of the electronic equipment needs boosting and uh, we have a good prog and everything, you know? I just wanted to find out if we could get any awr . . . nng . . . gnn . . . Do you have a pencil and a paper? Uh huh . . . thanks . . . Francesca: Royalties? Don: GNG! MMnnnngrgGGL! Sorry, would you mind not using that word? It's a . . . Francesca: Who cares about royalties? Don: Grrah! Francesca: Look, I've seen everybody around, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Arthur Brown, and his fire and his head . . . Oh, man, I've never got so hot as long, I've ever got so hot until I started to, to use the chicken head to measure it with it. 32:25 Guy From Alabama: We must say it in Alabama language, man, I can't understand. Another "Guy From Alabama": Playing that kind of music and eating meat, you'll never . . . Aynsley: I say . . . I say . . . Guy From Alabama: (unintelligible shouting) Aynsley: I say, old boy, you speak english? Guy From Alabama: Hey man, you got any peas or beans or anything like that?

32:38 Don: You have to admit this is different. Motorhead: Oh I hate . . . that's a drum, that's gotta be a drum. Don: I mean . . . I know what it's like, to me the idea of being commercial is doing something different. Meredith: Bet that one's a heavy one . . . Carl: The way they feed . . . Don: You know? Something people can . . . can . . . Carl: WAH! Don: It's not the same old thing. Aynsley: Hey, but that, that isn't a . . . Meredith: Have to practise . . . Aynsley: No! Carl: WAH! Don: NO! Motorhead: Look out! Ray: Oh . . . Don: That's it, Ray . . . Motorhead: Chicken's in the . . . Don: Now, use the chicken to measure it. Motorhead: Chicken's in the . . . Aynsley: Biff, man, how does that fit into the part, though . . . heavy like that . . . Meredith: And what is after into that my part there? Don: This is the music. Meredith: Where? where? Don: This, the whole thing is the music. Meredith: Ah, but how does that one fit into all . . . Aynsley: But there's no head, man. Meredith: But how does that fit into all that? Aynsley: Oh yeah, there's . . . Ray: Are you using a chicken to measure it? Meredith: What's the concept of this? Motorhead: There's no way we can play it. Meredith: What's the concept of this number? Don: Look, look . . . Motorhead: Not by tonight, man! It can't be done. Aynsley: Let me . . . anyway, man, I'm going out tonight, you know, I've got a few chicks to meet. Motorhead: I'm going to hear the Fudge. Don: You guys, if you wanna make a hit single and I mean, a hit single. Aynsley: Yeah, but all I'm saying is as long as you pay us well, I just don't wanna know. Don: Well, you'll get royalties. Motorhead: You gotta get some royalties, man! Aynsley: Royalties? Don: Listen, you can't . . . Ray: A monster! Phyllis: I'm wet . . . hamburger . . . Meredith: This is turning too confusing, I just can't understand what all this is about, it's so confusing! Phyllis: My monster! Don: WARrrGH! Phyllis: My monster! I'm ready! I got the pants, I got the shirt, I got the belt with the little yellow holes! 33:46 Phyllis: I can't get enough of that stuff, mmm! FZ: "We're coming to the beginning of a new era, at the motel." Phyllis: Look at this over there, look . . . mmm mm . . . Don: We're coming to the beginning of a new era at the motel, we have been working secretly . . . Phyllis: Obviusly still, still the best.

Phyllis: Still kinda get that "The Bun" thing. I gotta stop this, it's not good anymore. Don: You see, like this whole karma thing, it's really what's causing all the problems. Phyllis: Because after all we've got kids now. Don: So we have to get a composition. Phyllis: And we can't, he can't do this anymore, it's another whole life. Don: And, I'm sure that it's going to be a hit single. Phyllis: But, I can't help it, I mean he's irresistible. The guy is irresistible. Don: Because everyone is going out and buying our new hit single, for this group that uh . . . Phyllis: Look at that face, over there . . . FZ: "You remember our other single 'The Bun'?" Don: Yeah, you rem-Phyllis: Look at that, right that, right there . . . mmm . . . Don: Our other single, "The Bun"? See, this, this was our last composition . . . Phyllis: Oh, God! Oh, I remember that too . . . yeah . . . Don: And uh, it was pretty hard to play because uh . . . Phyllis: Look at this, when he did that at the fare . . . Don: Some of the members of the group couldn't read music, you see? Phyllis: No . . . it's better, I'll tell you something . . . Don: But we got it all straightened out. Phyllis: I don't know, I have to think about this, 'cause I gotta tell him. Ah! I'll go back! I can't be bother 'cause my mind it's too, it's too crazy, it's going, it's driving me nuts already, I have to think about work, I have to think about him, I have to think about . . . Stumuk: Maybe I oughta face it, after twelve years "The Bun" just isn't a hit. Maybe I'm approaching it wrong. Look at him, a musician, a natural musician. This Motorcity was a serious little boy. Liked to pull down the shades before helping her with the dishes. Massimo: And that's why it didn't sell. Look at this . . . Phyllis: Oh, look at that! I remember --let me stop that and see how the fume was coming out of his mouth, and the way the lips, the lips, so beautiful and the hamburger . . . Massimo: Try to do something like that.

You have to know that . . . Stumuk: Can you see? Massimo: . . . all this stuff . . . Stumuk: Everybody's using the chicken to measure it with nowadays, even my kids! Massimo: . . . come from my nose, and maybe people didn't like it. Stumuk: No more the sock . . . Massimo: And I just don't know why . . . Stumuk: But "The Bun," the placement of "The Bun." It has seeds. It's different. Massimo: I just can't imagine why they didn't like these balls that come from my nose, you know? This way, tshh! And I spent a lot of years of my life to do something like that, these fucking things, and it didn't work. What can I say? Guy From Alabama: Far fucking out! Far fucking out! Linda: Hee hee hee hee!

Howard: Say! Good God! Ain't it funky! Say! FZ: The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows . . . FZ: There's a motel in Seattle, Washington, called the Edgewater Inn . . . The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier . . . so that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt, it's . . . got a bay or something out in your backyard . . . Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down and, whenever they want to, rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it, you know what I mean? Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Now in this bay there's quite a variety of . . . fish! Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch Fish! Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: And all of these denizens of the deep can come in real handy . . . Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called The Vanilla Fudge . . . let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn with an 8mm movie camera . . . Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting . . . Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: A succulent young lady! Howard: Nooo! FZ: With a taste for the bizarre . . . Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: My mind drifts back . . . to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport . . . Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Where the members of The Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they made at the Edgewater Inn . . . with a mud shark! Mud Sh-sh-shark

1. Billy The Mountain Playground Psychotics includes quotes from Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major (Edward Elgar), Johnny's Theme (Paul Anka), Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder (Crawford), O Mein Papa (Paul Burkhard), Over The Rainbow (Harburg/Arlen), Star-Spangled Banner (Smith/Key), Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (Stephen Stills) One, two, three . . . BILLY the Mountain BILLY the Mountain A regular picturesque Postcardy mountain Residing between lovely Rosamond and Gorman With his stunning wife ETHELL, A tree! A tree! BILLY was a mountain ETHELL was a tree Growing off of his shoulder BILLY was a mountain (BILLY was a mountain!) ETHELL was a tree Growing off of his shoulder (ETHELL was a tree growing off of his shoulder) (hey, hey hey!) Billy had two big Caves for eyes, With a cliff for a jaw That would go up 'n down, And whenever it did, He'd puff out some dust, And hack up a boulder (HACK!) Hack up a boulder (HACK! HACK!) Hack up a boulder (HACK! HACK! HACK!) Up a boulder Now, one day, now I believe it was on a Tuesday, a man in a checkered double-knit suit drove up in a large El Dorado Cadillac, leased from BOB SPREEN . . . ("Where the freeways meet in Downey!") . . . And he laid a HUGE, BULGING ENVELOPE right at the corner of BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, that was right where his 'foot' was supposed to be. Now, BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, he couldn't believe it! All those postcards he'd posed for, for ALL OF THOSE YEARS, and finally, now, AT LAST, his Royalties! Royalties! Royalties . . .

Royalties! Royalty check is in, honey! Yes, BILLY THE MOUNTAIN was RICH! Yes, and his eyeballcaves, they widened in amazement, and his jaw (which was a cliff), well it dropped thirty feet! A bunch of dust puffed out! Rocks and boulders hacked up, (hack! hack!) crushing 'The LINCOLN'! I gave him the money He acted real funny He hocked up a rock and It TOTALLED my car! Oh, do you Know any trucks Might be bound for THE VALLEY? I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar (Dear Lord) I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar (No shit!) I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar! By two o'clock, when the bars are already closed down, BILLY had broken 'THE BIG NEWS' to ETHELL. And with dust and boulders everywhere, BILLY, choked with excitement, announced . . . "ETHELL, we're going on a VACATION!" Yes, and they WERE going on a vacation! (Oh, and ETHELL, ETHELL, ETHELL, like every little woman, she of course was very excited! She creaked a little bit, and some old birds flew off of her.) BILLY told ETHELL they were going to . . . Yes! They were going to NEW YORK! "ETHELL, we're going to . . . New York!" But first they were gonna stop in LAS VEGAS . . . It's off to LAS VEGAS to check out the lounges Pull a few handles, And drink a few beers, (Oh, ETHELL!) ETHELL, my darling, you know that I love you! I'm glad we could have a Vacation this year! (Oh, NEET-O!) Glad we could have a Vacation this year! They left that night, crunchin' across the Mojave Desert . . . their voices echoing through the canyons of your minds (POO-AAH!)

"ETHELL, wanna get a cuppa cawfee?" (Howard Johnson's! Howard Johnson's! Howard Johnson's! Howard Johnson's!) "Ahhh! there's a HOWARD JOHNSONS! Wanna eat some CLAMS?" The first noteworhty piece of real estate they destroyed was EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE . . . And TO THIS VERY DAY, 'Wing Nuts' and Data Reduction Clerks alike, speak in reverent whispers about that fateful night when TEST STAND #1 and THE ROCKET SLED ITSELF . . . (We have ignition!) . . . got LUNCHED! I said LUNCHED! (Lunched!) By a FAMOUS MOUNTAIN-IN and his SMALL, WOODEN WIFE. "Word just in to the KTTV News Service undeniably links THIS MOUNTAIN and HIS WIFE to drug abuse and pay-offs as part of a San Joaquin Valley SMUT RING! However, we can assure parents in the Southern California area that a recent NARCOTICS CRACKDOWN, in Torrance, Hawthorne, Lomita, Westchester, Playa Del Rey, Santa Monica, Tujunga, Sunland, San Fernando, Pacoima, Sylmar, Newhall, Canoga Park, Palmdale, Glendale, Irwindale, Rolling Hills, Granada Hills, Shadow Hills,Cheviot Hills, will provide the SECRET EVIDENCE the Palmdale Grand Jury has needed to seek a CRIMINAL INDICTMENT, and pave the way for STIFFER LEGISLATION, increased FEDERAL AID, and AVERT A CRIPPLING STRIKE of Bartenders and Veterinarians throughout the INLAND EMPIRE . . . " WITHIN THE WEEK, Jerry Lewis had hosted a Telethon ("Wah wah wah, nice lady!") to raise funds for the injured (injured . . . ) and homeless (homeless . . . ) in Glendale, as BILLY had just levelled it, and, a few miles right outside of town, BILLY caused a 'Oh Mein Papa' in the Earth's crust, right over the SECRET UNDERGROUND DUMPS (right near the 'Jack-In-The-Box' on Glenoaks) where they keep the POOLS OF OLD POISON GAS, and OBSOLETE GERM BOMBS, just as a FREAK TORNADO cruised through . . . Yes, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon when little Howard Kaplan was sitting on his porch ( "Toto . . . !") just playing ( "Come on, Toto . . . !") and having a nice time with his little accordion ("Toto . . . !"), and this weird wind came up ("Toto . . . !"), direct from Glendale ("Toto . . . ! Toto . . . !"), blowing these terrible germs in his direction ("Come here, Toto . . . !"), and all of this caused ("Toto . . . !") by a huge mountain ("Aunty Em!")! "Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly . . . " . . . sucking up two thirds of it (SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!) for UNTIMELY DISPERSAL over VAST STRETCHES of WATTS!!! Now, unless I misunderstood, it was right outside of Columbus, Ohio when BILLY received his NOTICE TO REPORT for his INDUCTION PHYSICAL. Now, lemme tell ya, ETHELL said, now ETHELL, ETHELL said she wasn't gonna let him go! "I'm not gonna let you go, BILLY!" "THAT'S RIGHT! We now have CONFIRMED REPORTS from an INFORMED ORANGE COUNTY MINISTER, that ETHELL is still an ACTIVE COMMUNIST, and it is This Reporter's Opinion that she also practices (COVEN!) WITCH-CRAFT!" It was about this time that the telephone rang inside of the SECRET BRIEFCASE belonging to THE ONE MORTAL MAN who might

be able to stop all of this senseless destruction and save 'AMERICA HERSELF'! (And I'm sorry to disappoint some of you, it was not Chief Reddin) This one MAN was STUDEBAKER HOCH, fantastic new SUPER HERO of the CURRENT ECONOMIC SLUMP. (Oh) Now, some folks say he looked like (he was like, he was like) ZUBIN MEHTA (Zubin Mehta); still others say (others say he), bullshit, honey (bullshit, man) he's just another greasy guy who happened to be born next to the Frozen Beef Pies at BONEY'S MARKET. (Others say he was just a, just a) Still others say, John, piss on you, Jack! (crazy Italian) He's just a crazy Italian who drove a RED CAR. You see (nobody knows for sure 'cause he was so), nobody ever really knew for sure, because STUDEBAKER was so-oo-o-o-o mysterious (mysterious) . . . HE WAS SO (He was so, he was so!) MYSTERIOUS! HE WAS SO (He was so, he was so!) MYSTERIOUS! 'Cuz when a person gets to be Such a HERO, folks, And MARVELOUS BEYOND COMPUTE, You can never REALLY TELL About a GUY LIKE THAT (Whether he's really a NICE PERSON Or if he just SMILES A LOT), (What?) Or if he has a son named 'PINOCCHIO', Or what? Whether he's really a NICE PERSON or if he has a son named 'PINOCCHIO' or what? Some men say he could FLY Some men say he could SWIM Others say he could SING (like NEIL SEDAKA), And all the girls in FLUSHING Would be AMAZED of HIM (Two, Three!) AMAZED of HIM! (Amazed!) (Amazed!) Time passes . . . January, February, March, July . . . Wednesday . . . August . . . Irwindale . . . . . . 2:30 in the afternoon, Sunday, Monday . . . Funny Cars! Walnut! Friday City of Industry . . . Big John Mazmanian! So when the phone rang In the secret briefcase, A strong masculine hand With a Dudley Do-Right wristwatch And flexy bracelet GRABBED IT And answered In a deep, calmly assured voice: "So . . . ah . . . yeah, yeah, hello already . . . what? . . . Well, yeah? . . . Ah, are you kidding . . . ? You're not kidding . . . a mountain . . . ? With a tree growing off of its shoulder . . . ? Aw, you're fulla shit,

man . . . ah, listen, by the way, before I go on; did you get those white albums I sent ya with the pencil on the front . . . ? Yeah . . . ? Yeah, you should move some of those for me, we're having a lot of . . . listen, so kiss little Jakee on the head . . . and, ah, how's your wife's hemorrhoids? Oh, that's too bad . . . Listen . . . so you've got a mountain, with a tree, listen, causing . . . oh, my! Well, let me write this down . . . sorta take a few notes here . . . yeah . . . ? To El Segundo, huh? Causing UNTOLD DESTRUCTION? . . . oh . . . God . . . That's terrible! . . . (my baby, my baby) Wanted for DRAFT EVASION? An expense account? And per diem, too?" SOME MEN SAY HE COULD DANCE! They said he could DANCE, and, of course, THEY were right! Ladies and Gentlemen, this is it: THE STUDEBAKER HOCH DANCING LESSON & COSMIC PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE featuring Aynsley Dunbar, hit it! Hey! Twirly, twirly, twirly, twirly, twirly! Fillmore, Fillmore, Fillmore, Fillmore . . . Hey! RIGHT HAND FROM THE HEART-UH LEFT HAND FROM THE HEART-UH RIGHT HAND FROM THE HEART-UH LEFT HAND FROM THE LEFT SHOULDER TO THE HEART-Uh Fillmore, Fillmore, Fillmore, Fillmore . . .

Boldly springing into action, he phoned his wife (who ran a modeling school), WHEREUPON HE . . . yes, HE ran around the back of 'THE BROADWAY' at Hollywood Boulevard and Vine to see if he could find himself some big large, un-used cardboard boxes (no shit!) After which, he hit up the RALPH'S on Sunset for some 'AUNT JEMIMA SYRUP', some 'KAISER BROILER FOIL', and a pair of blunt scissors! Hey-hey! Yes! Yes, and in the parking lot of RALPH'S, where "no prices are lower prices than RALPH'S," in the parking lot of RALPH'S (in between a pair of customized trucks where nobody was looking), he cut out some really, really, really NICE WINGS, and he covered them thoroughly with foil! Thorough-LY wi-TH (e-e-e-e-e) FOIL-L-L! Then he took those 'WINGS' and wedged one under each of his powerful arms and sneaked into a telephone booth . . . YES!! Yes! And then he SHUT THE FUCKING DOOR! And he pulled down his blue denim policeman type trouser pants, and he spread even amounts of AUNT JEMIMA maple syrup all over the inside of his legs! Soon the booth was filling with flies! (Help me, help me, help me!)

NOBODY can DANCE like STUDEBAKER HOCH! So many rumors have spread about STUDEBAKER HOCH! (A rumor . . . a rumor . . . ) Consider this rumor (a rumor . . . ), which was published (a rumor . . . ) about three weeks ago in ROLLING STONE! Oh, it's gotta be true! STUDEBAKER HOCH can write THE LORD'S Prayer on the head of a pin! "NO!" Do-do-do-do-do, Doot-doot-do DO DO DO! Do-do-do-do-do, Doot-doot-do DO! etc. (I'm so HIP!) BEEF PIES! He was born next to the BEEF PIES, Underneath JONI MITCHELL'S autographed picture, Right beside ELLIOT ROBERTS' big Bank Book, Next to the boat Where CROSBY flushed away all his stash And the cops Got him in the boat and drove away To THE CAN Where Neil Young slipped another disc FROZE-ing by the PIES! FROZE-ing by the PIES! FROZE-ing by the PIES! (And that was the main influence on HIM!) The influence of a Frozen Beef Pie!

He held open the legs of his boxer shorts so they could all get in (Yes! Yeah!), and when each and every one of those little cocksuckin' flies had gone into his pants, and they were lapping up all that maple syrup, he bent over and he put his head between his legs and he said in a very clear, impressive, RON HUBBARD-type voice . . . "NEW YORK!" . . . and the booth and everything lifted up, out of the parking lot, and into the sky! STUDEBAKER HOCH YEAH, YEAH STUDEBAKER HOCH STU-DE-BAKER HOCH! STUDEBAKER HOCH YEAH, YEAH STUDEBAKER HOCH STU-DE-BAKER HOCH! He's coating his legs With AUNT JEMIMA syrup up and down! His shorts'll be filled with flies That will be buzzing all around! Stoodlabaker Hoch: He's really outa sight! Stoodlabaker Hoch: He does it every night! Stoodlabaker Hoch: He treats the flies all right STOODLA-BAKER HOCH That's why they never bite, hey! (Please to New York! Fly to New York!)

He could be a DOG Or a FROG Or a LESBIAN QUEEN! (Fly to New York!)

DON'T FUCK AROUND! DON'T FUCK AROUND! DON'T FUCK AROUND! DON'T FUCK AROUND! With

He could be a NARK Or a LADY MARINE! Or he might play dirty! He's OVER THIRTY! (Getting old? Say! I don't know!) His peculiar attire And the flies he require Keep leading him on 'Cause ETHELL is gone They keep leading him on 'Cause ETHELL is gone And THE MOUNTAIN she's on And speaking of mountains, we'll join STUDEBAKER HOCH on the edge of BILLY THE MOUNTAIN's mouth. Take it away: "Ah . . . ya, ya, ya, hey-ah BILLY, ah, listen . . . I've come to REASON with you! Our GREAT COUNTRY needs you in the Armed Forces! Your NUMBER came up . . . you can't go on running like this forever." Oh! But ETHELL just shook her twigs angrily, but STUDEBAKER HOCH, calm, cool, collected, and UN-ferturbed, continued . . . "Ya, well listen, you (cough cough) . . . listen, you COMMUNIST SON-OF-A-BITCH! You better get your ass down there for your fuckin' physical, or I'll see to it that you get used for FILL DIRT in some impending New Jersey MARSH RECLAMATION . . . and your girl-friend there will wind up disguised as a series of brooms, primitive ironing boards (or a DOG HOUSE) . . . get the (cough, cough), GET THE PICTURE?" Yeah, well, BILLY just laughed: "HO, HO, HO! If they think they're gonna draft ME, they're CRAZY!" Unfortunately, because STUDEBAKER HOCH was standing on the edge of BILLY THE MOUNTAIN's mouth when the giant mountain laughed, STUDEBAKER HOCH lost his footing and fell, screaming, two hundred feet into the rubble below! "Aaahhhhh . . . oh fuck, I'm gonna need a TRUSS . . . " Oh, listen, that only goes to show you, and it'll show you once again that . . . A Mountain is something You don't wanna fuck with You don't wanna fuck with Don't fuck around (Don't fuck around) Don't fuck with BILLY (No!) And don't fuck with ETHELL (You saw what just happened To the guy with the flies!) DON'T FUCK AROUND! DON'T FUCK AROUND! DON'T FUCK AROUND!

Camarillo Brillo FZ:OZ Halloween You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 6 Vocal: Frank Zappa She had that Camarillo brillo Flamin' out along her head, I mean her Mendocino bean-o By where some bugs had made it red She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest And every newt in Idaho And every cricket who had chorused By the bush in Buffalo She said she was A Magic Mama And she could throw a mean Tarot And carried on without a comma That she was someone I should know She had a snake for a pet And an amulet And she was breeding a dwarf But she wasn't done yet She had gray-green skin A doll with a pin I told her she was awright But I couldn't come in (I couldn't come in right then . . . ) And so she wandered Through the door-way Just like a shadow from the tomb She said her stereo was four-way An' I'd just love it in her room Well, I was born To have adventure So I just followed up the steps Right past her fuming incense stencher To where she hung her castanets She stripped away Her rancid poncho An' laid out naked by the door We did it till we were un-concho An' it was useless any more She had a snake for a pet And an amulet And she was breeding a dwarf But she wasn't done yet She had gray-green skin A doll with a pin I told her she was awright But I couldn't come in (actually, I was very busy then)

And so she wandered Through the door-way Just like a shadow from the tomb She said her stereo was four-way An' I'd just love it in her room Well, I was born To have adventure So I just followed up the steps Right past her fuming incense stencher To where she hung her castanets She said she was A Magic Mama And she could throw a mean Tarot And carried on without a comma That she was someone I should know (Is that a real poncho . . . I mean Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho? Hmmm . . . no foolin' . . . ) 2.

Well right about that time, people, A fur trapper Who was strictly from commercial (Strictly Commershil) Had the unmedicated audacity to jump up from behind my igyaloo (Peek-a-Boo Woo-ooo-ooo) And he started in to whippin' on my fav'rite baby seal With a lead-filled snow shoe . . .

THE CIRCULAR MOTION . . . (rub it) . . . (Here Fido . . . Here Fido) And then, in a fit of anger, I . . .

Be-Bop Tango (Of The Old Jazzmen's Church) 16:41

FZ: The cowbell as a symbol of unbridled passion, ladies and gentlemen. FZ: Now, as you might have noticed, Bruce Fowler has just completed some sort of trombone solo, based on the, uh, idea of an evolved tango-event. Bruce has also prepared for you a demonstration of a dance that he hopes will sweep the ocean, right after the Mud Shark did. Bruce is now warming up the important muscles of the body, in preparation . . . in preparation for the Real Live Be-Bop Tango which we're gonna demonstrate. Napoleon will assist him. Napoleon: Wait a minute now . . . FZ: Napoleon, just put your horn down, just relax, put your head back, here comes the drill. Okay, ha ha ha, you know what I'm talkin' about? Okay . . . This is sort of like JAZZ in it's own peculiar way . . . JAZZ IS NOT DEAD, IT JUST SMELLS FUNNY . . . Okay, let's go! George: Yeah, man, JAZZ, man, you know what I mean? This is Be-Bop, Even though you think it doesn't sound like that (Be-Bop . . . ! That's no Be-Bop!) FZ: Now, as you might have noticed, some of you with a musical education can tell that the notes that George just sang when he went: "This is Be-Bop, even though you think it doesn't sound like that," it's actually a sort of a twisted form of the theme of the tango itself which will get de . . . even more depraved as the number goes on. George will now attempt to dismember that melody, play it and sing it at the same time while . . . Pe-dop! FZ: Hey, that's the way . . . while we sort of dance to it, okay? Try it, George . . . Pe-do-do-dum-deh-dum-deh do-do-deh-dum-deh Tee-do-do-TEEP Goop Do-do Tee-dum-do-do tee-dum-do-do KEEP do-deah E-dum do-dee-dum Do-do-dee-doo Do-dee-DAH . . . OH, YEAAAAH! George: As I was saying . . . FZ: Now, what we'd like to do at this point is get some volunteers from the audience to . . . I know you will, oh God, you will . . . We need some . . . heh heh heh . . . Now, as a matter of fact you did, didn't you . . . No, we wanna have some people who've never tried it before, who've never even thought of trying it before. A boy, a girl, preferably who like each other, who would like to come up here and attempt to dance to what George sings . . . Pe-dop FZ: Do we have anybody whose . . . ? You're one. Okay, what's your name? Carl: Carl. FZ: Your name is Carl? Please, Carl, step on to the stage . . . Pleased to meet you, Carl Pe-do-dum-dee Dum-dee-dum-de-de-dop FZ: Alright. Okay? Let's see, uh . . . is there anybody in the, in the back? Well . . . oh-oh, hey! What's your name? Rick: Rick. FZ: Rick, and?

Those were the days. Well, those days are probably gone forever, I don't know, unless Nixon is going to bring them back a little bit later, but, we have this very special highly evolved permutated tango. It's actually a perverted tango. By the time . . . Yes, it's so perverted!

Sam With The Showing Scalp Flat Top (Don Van Vliet) includes quotes from Sweet Leilani (Owens) and Louie Louie (Richard Berry) Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, Texas May 20-21, 1975 Sam with the showing scalp flat top, Particular about the point it made. (I got it . . . ) Why, when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, This black juice came out on a hard shelled chin. And they called that 'tobacco juice'. I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence. A black swan figurine lay on all color lily pads. On a little conglomeration table of pressed black felt. With same color shadows, in seamed knobbed knees, and what-nots. The long hallway rolled out into oddball odd. Beside the fly-pecked black doorway, That looked closed on the tar-lattice street. Up a wrought iron fire escape. Rolled out a tiny wooden platform with dark, hard, dark rubber wheels. Roll, skreek! Roll, skreek! Roll, skreek! Sam with the showing scalp flat top, Particular about the point it made. Sam was a BASKET CASE! A hardened dark ivory clip held . . . saleable everyday pencils. I wish I had a pair 'o bongos! Bongo Fury! Bongo Fury! Oowwwww! Bongo Fury! (Boogie!) Bongo Fury! Bongo Fury . . . Bongo Fury . . . 4. Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, Texas May 20-21, 1975 FZ: While we're at it, we have a sort of a cowboy song we'd like to do for ya.

To our markets of the world Our wrinkled pennants are unfurled! T-shirt racks, rubber snacks, Poster rolls with matching tacks, Yes, a special beer for sports, And paper cups that hold two quarts! Everything a nation needs For making hoopla while it feeds The trash compactors, small reactors, Mowers, blowers, throwers & the glowers This is Buy-Cent-Any-All Salute (HYULK!)

Man With The Woman Head (Don Van Vliet) Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, Texas May 20-21, 1975 Are you with me on this, people? The man with the woman head Polynesian wallpaper made the face stand out, a mixture of Oriental and early vaudeville jazz poofter, forming a hard, beetle-like, triangular chin much like a praying mantis. Smoky razor-cut, low on the ear neck profile. The face the color of a nicotine-stained hand. Dark circles collected under the wrinkled, folded eyes, map-like from too much turquoise eyepaint. He showed his old tongue through ill-fitting wooden teeth, stained from too much opium, chipped from the years. The feet, brown wrinkles above straw loafers. A piece of cocoanut in a pink seashell caught the tongue and knotted into thin white strings. Charcoal grey Eisenhower jacket zipped into a load of green ascot.

A coil of ashes collected on the white-on-yellow dacs. Four slender bones with rings and nails endured the weight of a hard fast black rubber cigarette holder. I could just make out Ace as he carried the tray and mouthed, "You cheap son of a bitch" as a straw fell out of a Coke, cartwheeled into the gutter. So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood, So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood, So this was a drive-in restaurant in Hollywood. 9.

Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icinganointment utensil, He poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosetta Near . . . (Let's try that again . . . ) He poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosetta Near the summit of a dense-but-radiant muffin of his own design Later he says: "Some people . . . some people like cupcakes exclusively, While I myself say there is naught, nor ought there be, Nothing so exalted on the face of God's grey earth As that Prince of Foods . . . The Muffin!" Girl, you thought he was a man But he was a muffin He hung around till you found That he didn't know nuthin' Girl, you thought he was a man But he only was a-puffin' No cries is heard in the night As a result of him stuffin' Girl, you thought he was a man But he was a muffin No cries is heard in the night As a result of him stuffin' FZ: Bruce Fowler on trombone, Napoleon Murphy Brock on tenor sax and lead vocals, Terry Bozzio on drums, Tom Fowler on bass, Denny Walley on slide, George Duke on keyboards, Captain Beefheart on vocals and soprano sax and madness.

And then the Devil let go of his pickle 'N out jumped m'girl They heard the titties PLOP-PLOPPIN' All around the world, she said: "I GOT ME THREE BEERS 'N A FIST FULLA DOWNS, AN' I'M GONNA GET RIPPED, SO FUCK YOU CLOWNS!" Then she gave us the finger, It was rigid 'n stiff, That's when the Devil, he farted An' she went right over the cliff (Whoa . . . Tinsel Time!)

Let me tell you 'bout this song. This song was originally constructed as a drum solo. That's right. Now, after Terry learned how to play "The Black Page" on the drum set, I figured, well, maybe it would be good for other instruments. So I wrote a melody that went along with the drum solo, and that turned into "The Black Page, Part 1, The Hard Version." Then I said, well, what about the other people in the world who might enjoy the melody of "The Black Page" but couldn't really approach its statistical density in its basic form? So, I went to work and constructed a little ditty which is now being set up for you with this little disco type vamp. This is "The Black Page, Part 2, The Easy

Greggery:

Oh, here comes GREGGERY, Little GREGGERY PECCARY The nocturnal gregarious Wild swine . . . Narrator: A peccary is a little pig with a white collar that usually hangs around between Texas and Paraguay, sometimes ranging as far west as Catalina Greggery: Catalina, Catalina, Catalina! Narrator: This particular peccary is part of that bold . . . Greggery: Bold . . . Narrator: New . . . Greggery: New . . . Narrator: Breed . . . Greggery: Breeding . . . Narrator: That distinguishes itself by markings which resemble a WIDE TIE directly below the white collar Greggery: If it's wide enough Everyone will know That the tie I'm wearing Is a symbol

Of how nimble my mind will know Ooh-ooh! Narrator:

Greggery: Is there any mail for me? Stenographers:

(Swank suave!) Greggery: Hoon-hoon hoonna-han Hoonna hoonna Narrator: Look out! Here he comes again! Greggery: Narrator: Oh here comes GREGGERY PECCARY AIR HOCKEY . . . biff . . . dush-h-h! Yes it's cravy, cravy, yeah . . . Stenographers: Hoonna-han Hoonna-han Narrator: Greggery: Every morning, GREGGERY drives his little red Volkswagen to the ugly part of town where they keep the Government Buildings. Greggery: Voodn, Voodn! Boy it's so hard to find a place to park around here! Greggery: Voo-voo-voo-nya-hoon AIN'T YOUR LIFE BORING, DON'TCHA THINK? Narrator: Stenographers: GREGGERY PECCARY takes the elevator up to the eighty-third floor of a grim, gray, evil-looking building with a sign on the front reading: 'BIG SWIFTY & ASSOCIATES, TREND-MONGERS'. And what, might you ask, is a TREND MONGER? Well, a TREND MONGER is a person who dreams up a TREND (like 'The Twist' --or 'Flower Power'), and spreads it throughout the land, using all the frightening little skills that Science has made available! And so it was, one fateful morning, GREGGERY PECCARY made his way through the Steno Pool . . . Greggery: Hi Mildred! Hello Gladys! WANDA! Narrator: Yes, from the moment they laid eyes on him, all the girls in the BIG SWIFTY Steno Pool KNEW . . . here was a nocturnal, gregarious wild swine ON HIS WAY UP . . . a PECCARY of Destiny, Adventure and ROMANCE . . . YOUP YOUP YOUP-YOUP-YOUP YOUP YOUP Greggery: LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THERE'S SOME LITTLE SOMETHING TO DO! Narrator: Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a LIFE for you? Hmmmmm? Greggery: I must plummet boldly forward to my ultra-avant laminated, simulated replica-mahogany desk, with the strategically-placed, imported, very hip water pipe, and the latest edition of the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG, and rack my agile mind for a spectacular new TREND, thereby rejuvenating our limping economy, and providing for bored & miserable people everywhere some great new 'THING' to identify with! IS YOUR WIFE SNORING BY THE SINK? Stenographers: LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP SWIFTY'S! THIS IS BIG SWIFTY'S! AT BIG SWIFTY'S WE ALL KNOW-OW-OW (WO-WO) YOU'LL GO FOR ANY GIMMICK OR GIZMO! Greggery: WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE INVOLVED IN A SERIES OF COLORFUL TIME-WASTING TRENDS?

Stenographers: WE HAVE GOT THE LITTLE ANSWERS TO THE THINGS THAT MIGHT BE BOTHERING YOU! Greggery:

PECCARY's exciting new invention had made it possible for everyone to find out HOW OLD THEY WERE! Greggery: What hath GOD wrought? Narrator:

WE HAVE GOT YOUR LITTLE TOYS! Stenographers: (WE'RE BUSY MAKIN' 'EM!) BUSY MAKIN' 'EM, WE'RE BUSY MAKIN' 'EM Greggery: BUSY MAKIN' EM Stenographers: JUST FOR YOU! Yoo-hoo-hoo! Greggery: Highly efficient, Miss Snodgrass! Narrator: And with that, GREGGERY turned and strode nonchalantly into his dinky little office with the desk and the catalog and the very hip water pipe, and proceeded, with a vigor and determination known only to piglets of a similarly diminutive proportion, to singlehandedly invent THE CALENDAR! With his eyes rolled heaven-ward, and his little shiny pig-hoofs on the desk, GREGGERY ponders the question of ETERNITY (and fractional divisions thereof), as mysterious ANGELIC VOICES sing to him from a great distance, providing the necessary clues for the construction of this thrilling new TREND! Angelic Voices: SUNDAY Greggery: Sunday? WOW! SUNDAY, SATURDAY . . . TUESDAY THROUGH 'MONDAY - MONDAY'! SUNDAY, SATURDAY Narrator: Narrator: And thus THE CALENDAR, in all of its colorful disguises was presented to the bored & miserable people everywhere! GREGGERY issued a memo on it, whereupon the entire contents of the Steno Pool identified with it STRENUOUSLY, and WORSHIPPED IT as a WAY OF LIFE, and took their little pills by it, and went back 'n forth from work by it, and paid their rent by it, and before long they were even having BIRTHDAY PARTIES IN THE OFFICE by it, because NOW, AT LAST, GREGGERY Only to be terrified once again by a roar of immense laughter . . . Billy: HO! HO! HO! Narrator: Meanwhile, the enraged HUNCHMEN (and HUNCH-WOMEN) rumble through the SHORT FOREST until (realizing the little swine has escaped), they decide to park their steaming vehicles in a circular pseudo-Wagon Train formation . . . and have a LOVE-IN! Under the influence of a fantastic amount of TRENDY CHEMICAL AMUSEMENT AID, they proceed to perform lewd acts, rip each other off for small personal possessions, and dance with depraved abandon in the vicinity of a six-foot pile of transistor radios (each one tuned to a different station). Greggery: WHAT? Narrator: The HUNCHMEN finally expire from exhaustion, and GREGGERY, who has viewed the proceedings from a safe distance, breathes a sigh of relief . . . Greggery: Phew! To elude them, GREGGERY takes the SHORT FOREST EXIT off the expressway. They zoom after him in all manner of cars, trucks, garishly-painted buses, and motorcycles. GREGGERY takes a bumpy trail off the main SHORT FOREST ROAD, which leads him up the side of a FAMOUS (and conveniently placed) MOUNTAIN, and into a strange cave on the edge of a cliff, not far from a LITTLE TWISTED TREE . . . with eyes on it. They appear to be casting sinister glances toward him through their glinting acid burn-out eyeballs, trying to run him off the road, or make him bump into something . . . giving strong evidence of HOSTILE AGGRESSION! Unfortunately, there were some people who simply DID NOT WISH TO KNOW, and that's why, on his way home from the office one night, GREGGERY was attacked by a RAGE OF HUNCHMEN! Making his way through the evening traffic, GREGGERY notices that the other vehicles which crowd and bump his little red car are all inhabited by slowly-aging 'VERY HIP YOUNG PEOPLE.'

Which seems to be rumbling up from the very depths of the cave in which he has hidden his car! Greggery: Good Lord! What was that? Narrator: GREGGERY doesn't realize he has concealed himself inside the very mouth of Billy: HO! HO! HO! Narrator: BILLY THE MOUNTAIN! Billy: HO! HO! HO! Narrator: And, as you all know, whenever BILLY laughs, rocks and boulders hack up, and the air for miles around is filled with tons of dust, forming a series of huge BROWN CLOUDS! Greggery: WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE CLOUDS THESE DAYS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? BETTER ASK A PHILOSTOPHER 'N SEE WHAT HE SAYS! Narrator: GREGGERY stops at a gas station and makes a mysterious phone call . . . Greggery: IS THIS THE OLD LOFT WITH THE PAINT PEELIN' OFF IT BY THE CHINESE POLICE WHERE THE DOGS ROLL BY? IS THIS WHERE THEY KEEP THE PHILOSTOPHERS NOW, WITH THE RUGS & THE DUST, WHERE THE BOOKS GO TO DIE? HOW MANY YEZ GOT? SAY YEZ GOT QUITE A FEW, JUST SITTIN' AROUND THERE WITH NOTHIN' TO DO? WELL I JUST CALLED YEZ UP 'CAUSE I WANTED TO SEE A PHILOSTOPHER BE OF ASSISTANCE TO ME! Narrator:

GREGGERY receives information that 'The Greatest Living PHILOSTOPHER Known to Mankind' is currently in possession of the very information in question, and, furthermore, this information could be HIS, if only GREGGERY would attend a 'SPECIAL THERAPEUTIC GROUP ASSEMBLY' (Classes now forming), and available at a special low low introductory fee . . . and now, here he is, 'The Greatest Living PHILOSTOPHER Known to Mankind', QUENTIN ROBERT DeNAMELAND! Take it away! Quentin: Folks, as you can see for yourself, the way this clock over here is behaving, TIME IS OF AFFLICTION! Now this might be cause for alarm among a portion of you, as, from a certain experience, I TEND TO PROCLAIM: 'THE EONS ARE CLOSING'! Narrator: Make your checks payable to 'QUENTIN ROBERT DeNAMELAND, Greatest Living Philostopher Known to Mankind'! Greggery: WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE CLOUDS THESE DAYS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? IF YOU ASK A PHILOSTOPHER, HE'LL SEE THAT YOU PAYS! 2.

disc 1 1. SCENE ONE: Entrance Of The Central Scrutinizer FZ--vocals Warren Cuccurullo--rhythm guitar Denny Walley--slide guitar Peter Wolf--keyboards Arthur Barrow--bass Ed Mann--percussion Vinnie Colaiuta--drums Central Scrutinizer: This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . it is my responsibility to enforce all the laws that haven't been passed yet. It is also my responsibility to alert each and every one of you to the potential consequences of various ordinary everyday activities you might be performing which could eventually lead to The Death Penalty (or affect your parent's credit rating). Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things . . . and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC! Our studies have shown that this horrible force is so dangerous to society at large that laws are being drawn up at this very moment to stop it forever! Cruel and inhuman punishments are being carefully described in tiny paragraphs so they won't conflict with the Constitution (which, itself, is being modified in order to accomodate THE FUTURE). I bring you now a special presentation to show what can happen to you if you choose a career in MUSIC . . . The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only . . . if you have to load or unload, go to the WHITE ZONE . . . you'll love it . . . it's a way of life . . . Hi, it's me, I'm back. This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only . . . if you gotta load or if you gotta unload, go to the WHITE ZONE . . . you'll love it . . . it's a way of life . . . that's right! You'll love it, it's a way of life, that's right, you'll love it, a way of life, right, love it . . . This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER 2. SCENE TWO: Joe's Garage You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 3 includes quotes from Wipe Out (Berryhill/Connolly/Fuller/Wilson) and Nite Owl (Allen) Central Scrutinizer: We take you now to a garage in Canoga Park Larry: (It makes its own sauce . . . if you add water) Joe:

It wasn't very large There was just enough room to cram the drums In the corner over by the Dodge It was a fifty-four With a mashed up door And a cheesy little amp With a sign on the front said "Fender Champ" And a second-hand guitar It was a Stratocaster with a whammy bar Larry: We could jam in Joe's Garage His mama was screamin' His dad was mad We was playin' the same old song In the afternoon 'n sometimes we would Play it all night long It was all we knew, 'n easy too So we wouldn't get it wrong All we did was bend the string like . . . Hey! Down in Joe's Garage We didn't have no dope or LSD But a coupla quartsa beer Would fix it so the intonation Would not offend yer ear And the same old chords goin' over 'n over Became a symphony We could play it again 'n again 'n again Cause it sounded good to me ONE MORE TIME! We could jam in Joe's Garage His mama was screamin', "TURN IT DOWN!" We was playin' the same old song In the afternoon 'n sometimes we would Play it all night long It was all we knew, 'n easy too So we wouldn't get it wrong Even if you played it on a saxophone We thought we was pretty good We talked about keepin' the band together 'N we figured that we should 'Cause about this time we was gettin' the eye From the girls in the neighborhood They'd all come over 'n dance around like . . . So we picked out a stupid name Had some cards printed up for a coupla bucks 'N we was on our way to fame Got matching suits 'N Beatle Boots 'N a sign on the back of the car 'N we was ready to work in a GO-GO Bar ONE TWO THREE FOUR LET'S SEE IF YOU'VE GOT SOME MORE!

People seemed to like our song They got up 'n danced 'n made a lotta noise An' it wasn't 'fore very long A guy from a company we can't name Said we oughta take his pen 'N sign on the line for a real good time But he didn't tell us when These "good times" would be somethin' That was really happenin' So the band broke up An' it looks like We will never play again . . . Joe: Guess you only get one chance in life To play a song that goes like . . . Mrs. Borg: Turn it down! Turn it DOWN! I have children sleeping here . . . Don't you boys know any nice songs? Joe:

Central Scrutinizer: The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only. If you gotta load or unload, go to the WHITE ZONE . . . Joe: I said the years was rollin' by, yeah The years was rollin' by . . . Mrs. Borg: I'm calling THE POLICE! Joe: So the years was rollin' by . . . Mrs. Borg: I did it!

Officer Butzis: This is the Police Give yourself up We will not harm you Joe: The years was rollin' by . . . Mrs. Borg: Listen to that mess, would you! Officer Butzis: This is the Police Give yourself up We have the garage surrounded Mrs. Borg: Every day this goes on around here! Joe:

The years was rollin' by . . . Officer Butzis: We will not harm you Or maim you (SWAT Team 4, move in!) Joe:

There's nothing like a Catholic Girl At the CYO When they learn to blow . . . Father Riley: They're learning to blow All the Catholic Boys! Mary:

The years was rollin' by . . . Warren Cuccurullo . . . Mrs. Borg: Father Riley: He used to cut my grass . . . He was a very nice boy . . . Officer Butzis: This is the Police Come out with your hands up Central Scrutinizer: Catholic Boys! This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . That was Joe's first confrontation with The Law. Naturally, we were easy on him. One of our friendly counselors gave him A do-nut . . . and told him to Stick closer to church-oriented social activities. 3.

Excuse me . . . Ha ha ha! Mm-mh . . . So . . . Ha ha ha . . . Ha ha ha! Who gives a fuck anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo . . . 7.

Take a tip from Joe, do like he did, hock your imaginary guitar and get a good job . . . Joe did, and he's a happy guy now, on the day shift at the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fullycharged icing anointment utensil. And every time a nice little muffin comes by on the belt, he poots forth . . . And if this doesn't convince you that MUSIC causes BIG TROUBLE . . . then maybe I should turn off my plastic megaphone and sing the last song on the album in my regular voice . . .

A-hem! Heh heh . . . A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta You'll make a muffin betta With a green rosetta A little green rosetta A tiny green rosetta A green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A tiny green rosetta You'll make a muffin really betta It's betta It's really getting betta It's betta, it's betta With a green rosetta Setta, setta And a green rositti, too Green rositti A little green rositti It's really, really meaty The little green rositti Make a muffin really betta It's betta, (Hey, really out there . . . that was really good) It's really getting betta It's betta, it's betta With a green rosetta Setta, setta (Good God, give the drummer some) Green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta (Setta, setta, setta, setta, setta, setta, setta, setta, setta, setta, setta . . .)

You're really jammin'! Now the Reggae version, hey, for the People in the Third World . . . we haven't forgotten anybody on this song . . . for all of you French people . . . who think that you're outta sight . . . And for the people in Spain . . . who think the French people are where it's at . . . And for the people in Mongolia who always wanted to go to Spain for a vacation . . .

And a lot of times they run out of, they run out of spunk right in the middle of the chorus . . . Causing the song to sound like this . . . A little green rosetta However we continue in spite of the fact that the fuel may be low on your record player. We suggest that in places in the Fourth World where things are really tough that you keep the record player going by rubbing two sticks together. And if all else fails, throw the record away . . . build your own green rosetta . . . try this recipe: We'll start with a lump of grass . . . the grass bone connected to the ankle bone . . . the knee bone connected to the wishbone . . . and then everybody moves to New York and goes to a party with Warren. Hey! And we've flown in, at great expense, (triple scale, no less, ladies and gentlemen), Steve Gadd's clone to play the out-chorus on this song . . . he's really outasite, in spite of the fact that the click track is totally irrelevant to what he's doing right now. I'm listening to the click, yes I'm suffering with the click track right now . . . this guy is totally out of sync with it, but what the fuck. Ed Mann will call him up later, show him the sign. Okay, Vinnie, where is five? They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians (The singer is not pretty good, the musicians they're pretty good) They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians They're pretty good musicians But it don't make no difference If they're good musicians Because anybody who would buy this record Doesn't give a fuck if there's good musicians On it Because this is a stupid song AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT A little green rosetta Hey! A little green rosetta A little green rosetta A little green rosetta You make a muffin betta With a green rosetta A little green rosetta Rosetta, rosetta, rosetta Rosetta . . . rosetta . . .

3. I Come From Nowhere includes a quote from Big Swifty Roy Estrada lead vocal I come from nowhere And you should go there Just try it for a while The people from nowhere Always smile Their eyes are all frozen over The sides of their faces pooch out at the corners Because that's what happens when their mouths turn up On both sides Which is why we can tell they're smiling They never frown They never let their eyebrows turn down They like going around with their teeth showing All the time They are from nowhere Your teeth are showing So maybe you been there You could have the disease of nowhere people Where the air gets stuck all over their gums When their nowhere lips roll back For real excitement They stand still They shut up Then they don't do nothing Out there in nowhere 4.

She's on the ocean floor 'N the water's all green down there 'N it's not very clean down there 'N water snakes 'N rusty wrecks Is all that she can see As the light goes dim And she's tryin' to swim Will she make it? (Boy, we sure hope so . . . )

Not even a witch oughta be caught On the bottom of America's spew-infested Waterways, hey-hey . . . She could get radiation all over her She could mutate insanely . . . She could mutate insanely . . . (that's right) You know, she could go on the freeway and grow up to be 15 feet tall And scary-lookin' And then . . . Cars could crash all over the place As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on . . . Lookin' up to see her face Sardines in her eyebrows . . . Lobsters up 'n down her forehead All of them HORRIBLY LARGE FROM RADIATION . . . And smelling very bad And DANGEROUS! Maybe a submarine could save her, And bring her home to the Navy . . .

6. The Dangerous Kitchen You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1 Basic track: Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, Texas October 16, 1980 (except last verse from unknown location, 1981) Vinnie Colaiuta drums The dangerous kitchen If it ain't one thing it's another In the middle of the night when you get home The bread things are all dry 'n scratchy The meat things where the cats ate trough the paper The can things with the sharp little edges That can cut your fingers when you're not looking The soft little things on the floor that you step on They can all be DANGEROUS Sometimes The milk can hurt you (If you put it on your cereal Before you smell the plastic container) And the stuff in the strainer Has a mind of its own So be very careful In the dangerous kitchen When the night time has fallen And the roaches are crawlin' In the kitchen of danger You can feel like a stranger The bananas are black They got flies in the back And also the chicken In the dish with the foil Where the cream is all clabbered

And the salad is frightful Your return in the evening Can be less than delightful You must walk very careful You must not lean against it It can get on your clothing It can follow you in As you walk to the bedroom And you take all your clothes off While you're sleeping It crawls off It gets in your bed It could get on your face then It could eat your complexion You could die from the danger Of the dangerous kitchen Who the fuck wants to clean it? It's disgusting and dirty The sponge on the drainer Is stinky and squirty If you squeeze it when you wipe up What you get on your hands then Could unbalance your glands and Make you blind or whatever . . . In the dangerous kitchen At my house tonight 7.

The Jazz Discharge Party Hats Southern Illinois University, Carbondale November 15, 1980 Vinnie Colaiuta drums Once upon a time, it was in Albuquerque, New Mexico There were these girls that worked at the college The were really cool . . . (They thought so anyway) They would be delighted to tell you how suave they were At the drop of a hat There was three of 'em . . . One of them thought she was a Beauty Queen . . . The other one was a Walking Blow Job . . . And then there was this skinny girl . . . Oh well . . . Some of the guys in the band got together With the girls from the college They were having a good time . . . We were in Albuquerque for a couple of days But these girls thought they were Hot Shit 'N wouldn't pooch the guys in the band on the first day, so . . . A couple of the guys in the band Who were desperate for THAT KIND OF ACTION Kept workin' on 'em for two days (Which is a waste of fuckin' time anyway . . . ) So, anyway . . . But if that's your idea of a good time, what the hey . . . Send those pants up here . . . here's some more Okay, good-good! Traditional cotton . . . oh, how sweet! Umt . . . huh-huh-huh-huhhh . . . HERE! Work these!

Anyway . . . we're in Albuquerque, New Mexico . . . A couple of the guys in the band, who shall go nameless Because their girlfriends might find out Decided they were gonna work the wall on these girls From the college So, one night . . . it was the first night When they were still trying to get it in there (Ya know what I mean? Huh-huh-huh . . . ) The skinny girl, she says to one of the guys in the band She says, well, to several of the guys in the band And one of the T-shirt guys too . . . "HEY! LET'S GO SKINNY-DIPPING!" At two o'clock in the morning at the pool at the hotel That's right, your heard right, Two o'clock in the morning, pool at the hotel . . . It was so fun . . . But the water was very, very cold . . . So they go out there and the girl who was really skinny 'N probably totally insensitive to climatic changes Took all of her garments off and she jumped in the pool And she says, "HEY GUYS! COME ON IN!" Well, one of them did . . . The other one was too smart for that shit . . . So him and the T-shirt guy say by the edge of the pool And when the girl who was really skinny (And insensitive to climatic changes) Took off her clothes and jumped in the pool She threw her pants over there by the little table . . . Well, one of the guys from the band picked up her panties (He told me later that the stuff in the bottom Was like punching an eclair . . . ) Anyhow . . . there was nothing else to do . . . It was Albuquerque, New Mexico . . . It's two o'clock in the morning . . . They're not going to get any nooky anyway . . . So this one guy and the T-shirt guy Started sniffing the girl's panties . . . They were sniffing the fudge and sniffing the glue . . . Sniffing everything that adhered to these Delightful little morsels (Some of you might think this is weird . . . No wonder . . . it's not exactly normal, but what the fuck?) So, they're snorting it . . . (Hey! It's the twentieth century . . . Whatever you can do to have a good time, let's get on with it So long as it doesn't cause a murder . . . ) So they're snorting the pants 'N then they put them on their heads . . . They were having a good time . . . The girl was in the water . . . she didn't even see What was going on with her underpants . . . They were wearing the pants It looked just like a tiny little party hat . . . Their ears were sticking out the side . . . it was so fun Later on they discovered This would make a great way of life for them . . . They would go from town to town looking for panties They would take the panties after they were hung up On the clothes line . . . Later on they would take 'em back in the dressing room They would play with them . . . They would fetish the underpants . . . They would snort every little morsel attached to the underpants . . . and then . . . they would feel that They were FULFILLED And so you can see That what we're doing here on stage Is part of a great American Tradition The tradition of the JAZZ DISCHARGE PARTY HATS 10.

(No way! Y'jes can't do it") She made a bet with her sister (who's a little bit dumb) She could prove it any time all men was scum I don't mind that she called me a bum But I knew right away she was really gonna cum (So I got down to it) Whipped off her bloomers 'n stiffened my thumb An' applied rotation to her sugar plum I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb But I still didn't hear no Dinah-Moe Humm Dinah-Moe Humm Dinah-Moe Humm Dinah-Moe Humm Where this Dinah-Moe Comin' from I just spent three hours An' I ain't got a crumb From the Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe From the Dinah-Moe Humm (Moo-ah!) Got a spot that gets me hot You ain't been to it Got a spot that gets me hot You ain't been to it Got a spot that gets me hot You ain't been to it Got a spot that gets me hot You ain't been to it An' I can't get into it Unless I get out of it An' I gotta be out of it To get myself into it An' I can't get into it Unless I get out of it An' I gotta get out of it Before I get into it (She looked over at me with a glazed eye And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area And she said . . . and here's what she said . . . ) "Just get me wasted An' you're half-way there 'Cause if my mind's tore up Well, then my body don't care . . . "

I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin An' said, "My-my-my! What sort of thing Might this lady get high upon?" The forty-dollar bill didn't matter no more When her sister got nekkid an' laid on the floor She said Dinah-Moe might win the bet But she could use a little (OW!) if I wasn't done yet I told her: "Just because the sun Want a place in the sky No reason to assume I wouldn't give her a try . . . " So I pulled on her hair Got her legs in the air An' asked if she had any cooties in there WHADDYA MEAN, 'COOTIES'! NO 'COOTIES' ON ME! She was buns-up kneelin' BUNS UP! I was wheelin' an' dealin' WHEELIN' AN' DEALIN' AN' OOOOOH! She surrendered to the feelin' SHE SWEETLY SURRENDERED An' she started in to squealin' Dinah-Moe watched from the edge of the bed With her lips just a-twitchin' an' her face gone red Some drool rollin' down From the edge of her chin While she spied the condition Her sister was in She quivered 'n quaked An' clutched at herself Her sister made a joke About her mental health Until Dinah-Moe finally Did give in But I told her All she really needed Was some discipline . . . I said, Kiss my aura . . . Dora . . . That's right! You know why? Because obviously it was real angora And then I said, Would you all like some more-a? Right here on the flora?

Zappa In New York Lther includes a quote from Isn't It Romantic? (Rodgers/Hart) Patrick?: Yeah . . . FZ: In today's rapidly changing world rock groups appear every fifteen minutes, utilising some new promotional device. Some of these devices have been known to leave irreparable scars on the minds of foolish young consumers. One such case is seated before you: Little skinny Terry 'Ted' Bozzio, that cute little drummer! That's right! Terry recently fell in love with a publicity-photo of a boy named Punky Meadows . . . Terry: Oh Punky! FZ: Lead guitar player from a group called Angel. In the photograph, Punky was seen with a beautiful shiny hairdo in a semiprofile which emphasized the pooched out succulence of his insolent pouting rictus, the sight of which drove the helpless young drummer mad with desire! I can't stand the way he pouts ('Cause he might not be pouting for me!) Patrick: Punky Meadows pouting for you? Hah! Terry: You mean . . . Patrick: You bet, sailor! Terry: You mean he's not . . . Patrick: I think the guy's gay! Terry: He's not pouting . . . he's not pouting for me? His hair's so shiny and it's done real nice ('Til I squirm with ecstasy) Punky, Punky, give me your lips To die on . . . Oh, Punky, isn't it romantic? Punky, Punky, give me your lips To die on . . . I promise not to come in your mouth Punky, Punky, your album's the shits It's all wrong . . . I ain't really queer But if he ever got near Steven Tyler would PAY to see! PAY to see! Punky's lips, Punky's lips His hair's so shiny, I love his hips I love his teeth, 'n his gums 'n such . . . PUNKY What is it, you homo? You're an ANGEL . . . you're too much Oh God . . .

(The voice of my thoughts In my lonely teen-age room) He's been havin' a rash (No shit) That keeps the girls away (It's true) Skin doom (Skin doom!) Is what the doctors say (And that makes me wonder) I wonder what Punky is rehearsin' today I'll just go over 'n hear him play His hair is so pretty . . . I'd like to bite his neck I've heard a rumor he's more fluid than Jeff Beck But . . . I AIN'T QUEER I AIN'T GAY (He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array) A wrist array (That's all it is, I swear) Punky's lips, Punky's lips Oh! I love his hair while eatin' dunk-y chips Yeah! I love his blink and his blank-blank-blank Why, maybe he'd like to yank my crank? YANK IT PUNKY! YANK IT FASTER! YANK IT HARDER! YANK IT ALL NIGHT LONG! COME ON PUNKY! GET FUNKY! I AIN'T QUEER No no no no! I AIN'T GAY No no no no! (He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay) Wrist array-ee-ay And then he told me now: I AIN'T QUEER! (Hey!) I AIN'T GAY! (Hey! Hey!) (He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay) I-I, Lord, I'm fo-o-o-ond of chiffo-on In a wrist array-ee-ay Oh oh oh oh! I-I, I said I'm fo-o-ond of chiffo-on In a wri-i-i-i-ist array Come on Punky! Give me your lips! Right on my penis-tip!

FZ: Well, we have another song for you that goes far beyond Louie Louie, Ruthie-Ruthie, or even Brian Brian, this song is so advanced it takes us all the way from 1955 directly to approximately 1957, which is when it should have been written, but actually it was written about

1970. This is a song, we'd like to dedicate this song to Marty, our road manager, who has a fondness for the canine species, and the orifice attendant thereto. 11.

Waka/Jawaka You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 2 Make A Jazz Noise Here

Who was strictly from commercial (Strictly Commershil) Had the unmedicated audacity to jump up from behind my igyaloo (Peek-a-Boo) And he started in to whippin' on my fav'rite baby seal With a lead-filled snow shoe . . . ([...]) With a lead LEAD Filled LEAD-FILLED With a lead-filled snow shoe SNOW SHOE He said Peak-a-boo PEEK-A-BOO With a lead LEAD Filled LEAD-FILLED With a lead-filled snow shoe SNOW SHOE He said Peak-a-boo. (Butzis too) PEEK-A-BOO He went right up side the head of my favorite baby seal Hit him on the nose, that's right Hit him on the fin, yes He went WHAP! An' that got me just about as evil As an Eskimo boy can be . . . so I bent down 'n I reached down 'n I scooped down An' I gathered up a generous mitten full of the deadly . . . YELLOW SNOW The deadly Yellow Snow from right there where the huskies go (Over by Butzis' room) An' then I proceeded to rub it all into his beady little eyes With a vigorous circular motion Hitherto unknown to the citizens of Canarsie, But destined to take the place of THE MUD SHARK In your mythology THE VIGOROUS CIRCULAR MOTION . . . Here it goes, RUB IT! (HEY . . . HEY . . . HEY . . . ) FZ: Alright, now this is the really exciting part of the show. This is the part I always like the best, because this is where I get to find out what you guys are made of. And you gals, too. This is the part where we have, we are purported to have, audience participation. Now, I know it's a matinee, and y'know, you're probably in a hurry to go get something to EAT, but I figure that this little audience participation that we're gonna do right now is SO TOTALLY STUPID that it's, well just think of it as an aperitivo, y'know what I mean? So, okay, everybody, stand up. Stand up now. Alright, that's very good. OK, a lot of you people are still sitting down, no, don't walk forward, just stand up. Stand where you are. OK, is everybody standing up? Well, most of you are standing up, okay, the ones who aren't standing up, hey, eat chain. Enforced recreation, live on stage in London. Now, we're gonna do away with the fur trapper now, the guy's been hittin' my baby seal quite a bit, baby seal doesn't look too good. Bleeding from the mouth and rectum, looks terminal. So what we're gonna do, is we're altogether gonna jump up and down this sunofabitch, now watch me. I'll do the stupid thing first, and then you shy people follow. Ready? Here we go . . . Hi, are you okay? Angus: Fine FZ: I know . . . Angus: I love you Ike: Relative of Joey Psychotic FZ: Hello, how ya doin'? Angus: Can I come up 'n recite a po-im? FZ: No, but I'll tell you what, you can stay there and recite a poem. Here, what's your name? I'll hold it, it's okay, it might break. Angus: Angus O'Riley O'Patrick McGinty FZ: Don't hold it Denny?: Joey Narcotic Angus: Angus O'Riley O'Patrick McGinty FZ: Wanna recite your, uh, poem now? Angus: Yeah . . .

Angus: Burnt wind Heart stinks Charred man Burns Squirm screeing FZ: Is there more? Angus: PAIN! (Yes!) FZ: Very essential. And now . . . thank you! Alright, now, as if, as if that weren't enough, watch this. I'm going to do something completely stupid and then after I demonstrate the stupidity of it all you're gonna do the same thing and that will sort of bind us together in some sort of cosmic, hands across the water, kind of symbolic, kind of . . . just forget it. Okay? Here we go, watch this . . . Denny: It's Jumbo FZ: It's Jumbo, that's right Denny: Jumbo, come back! Now, you pounce And you pounce again Jump up 'n down on the chest of a . . . GREAT GOOGLY-MOOGLY FZ: You're gonna do it too, now. Hey, wasn't that really stupid? Ike: Sure that isn't 'bounce'? FZ: OK, tonight, though, we're, we're adding a new dimension to this. When we get to the fast part, when you jump up and down on the chest of a, we're gonna vamp for an extra coupla bars, now this is very important, bring the band on down behind me, boys, so they can understand this, when the band plays very quietly after we jump up and down on the chest of a, EVERYBODY'S gonna recite a poem, whaddya say? Okay? And I'm gonna be listening. No mistakes. Ready? Now, everybody jumps Now you pounce You pounce again You jump up 'n down on the chest of a, and recite a poem FZ: Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, I think I like the poem better than the jumping. More poetry, please! Two Guys From The Audience: Rotten gulls beating with large rubber sails! Who cares? Now it is light! FZ: Alone in the hissing laboratory of his wishes, Mr Pugh minces among bad vats and jeroboams, spinneys of murdering herbs, and prepares to compound for Mrs Pugh a venomous porridge hitherto unknown to toxicologists which will scald and viper through her 'til her ears fall off like figs, her toes grow big and black as balloons, and steam comes screaming out of her navel. (Cakes! Cakes! Cakes!) FZ: Now, listen. The f . . . Sit down. The fur trapper was pretty fucked up. He had just been stomped upon and recited to by the entire contents of this audience. And you know what that can do to a guy who's wearing a . . . a PARKA. So he gets up . . . And looks around And looks around And looks around again And then he says (and you can sing along if you know the words) I CAN'T SEE (DO DO-DO DO DO DO . . . YEAH!) I CAN'T SEE (DO DO-DO DO DO DO) I CAN'T SEE (DO DO-DO DO DO DO)

I CAN'T SEE (DO DO-DO DO DO DO) He took a dog-doo sno-cone An' stuffed it in my right eye He took a dog-doo sno-cone An' stuffed it in my other eye An' the huskie wee-wee, I mean the doggie wee-wee Has blinded me An', great Googly-Moogly, I can't see Temporarily (This is really stupid, isn't it?) Well, it was at that time that the fur trapper Remembered the ancient Eskimo legend Wherein it is written On whatever it is that they write it on up there That if anything bad ever happens to your eyes As a result of Enforced Recreation Live Onstage In London The only way that you can get it fixed up Is to go trudgin' across the tundra . . . Mile after mile Trudgin' across the tundra . . . Right down to the parish of Saint Alfonzo . . . (What, another poem?) Guy #1: I want a garden. I want a garden where the flowers have no flowers. I want a garden where the trees have no leaves. I want a garden where the tre-weeds don't even grow. I want a garden. I want MY garden. I want a garden where there are no colors. I want to water that garden. I'll garden that with my tears. Whilst that garden busted trees, Busted leaves, water me with my own. FZ: Sounds like a bunch of cakes for me Denny: Oh, you want kindergarten Guy #1: Hah-hah . . . Band Member: Denny strikes! FZ: Not bad, not bad. What's, what's the title of that? Guy #1: Broadmoor FZ: "Broadmoor," alright. Warren, do you know one called Lefrak City? Where's, where's Butzis? Ike: Prob'ly somewhere bendin' over FZ: Where is he? Are you . . . send Malkin up here . . . uh . . . Band Member: He's probably gettin' a hand job FZ: Yeah, I know that's just what I was thinking! Ha ha . . . He's in the lobby getting a blow job. Alright, sorry, maybe next show, we'll find him. One of these days we'll get him up here. Now, some of you people are probably not very religious, and one could hardly blame you. However, those of you who are religious, and who have been paying money into the church for years and years and are still waiting to get your money's worth, here's a little bit of information for ya (I don't know what you're gonna do with this information, but . . . ), Saint Alfonzo is, and probably will continue to be, for the duration of this show, the patron saint of the smelt fishermen of Portuguese extraction. Do you know what Portuguese extraction is? Very good. Anyway, in order that you may reach a higher level of conciousness, which is obviously the aim of our show, Ed Mann, who has been working on this little lick all afternoon, Ed, who only, he's, he's not sick, he only has bad mental health, Ed is going to play THE BIG ALFONZO MOTIF, let's hear it for him! That's right, here we are! At Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast Where I stole the mar-juh-reen An' widdled on the Bingo Cards in lieu of the latrine I saw a handsome parish lady Make her entrance like a queen Why she was totally chenille And her old man was a Marine (Oh, cakes!)

As she abused a sausage pattie And said why don't you treat me mean? (Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, oooooh!) (Pittie! Pattie! Pootie! Bootie-pootie!) At Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast (Hah! Good God! Get off the bus!) Where I stole the mar-juh-reen . . . Saint Alfonzo Saint Alfonzo Saint Alfonzo Saint Alfonzo Ooo-ooo-WAH . . . Father Vivian O'Blivion Resplendent in his frock Was whipping up the batter For the pancakes of his flock He was looking rather bleary (He forgot to watch the clock) 'Cause the night before Behind the door A leprechaun had stroked (he stroked it) . . .

He was delighted as it stiffened And ripped right through his sock Oh, Saint Alfonzo would be proud of me PROUD OF ME PROUD OF ME He shouted down the block Dominus Vo-bisque 'em Et come spear a tu-tu, Oh!

Sometimes The milk can hurt you (If you put it on your cereal Before you smell the plastic container) And the stuff in the strainer Has a mind of its own So be very careful In the dangerous kitchen When the night time has fallen And the roaches are crawlin' In the kitchen of danger You can feel like a stranger The bananas are black They got flies in the back And also the chicken In the dish with the foil Where the cream is all clabbered And the salad is frightful Your return in the evening Can be less than delightful You must walk very careful You must not lean against it It can get on your clothing It can follow you in As you walk to the bedroom And you take all your clothes off While you're sleeping It crawls off It gets in your bed It could get on your face then It could eat your complexion You could die from the danger Of the dangerous kitchen Who the fuck wants to clean it? It's disgusting and dirty The sponge on the drainer Is stinky and squirty If you squeeze it when you wipe up What you get on your hands then Could unbalance your glands and Make you blind or whatever . . .

The Good Book says: "It gotta be that way!"

But their book says: "REVENGE THE CRUSADES . . . With whips 'n chains 'N hand grenades . . . " TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS? Have another and another Our God says: "There ain't no other!" Our God says "It's all okay!" Our God says "This is the way!" It says in the book: "Burn 'n destroy . . . Repent, 'n redeem 'N revenge, 'n deploy 'N rumble thee forth To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side 'Cause they don't go for what's in the book 'N that makes 'em BAD So verily we must choppeth them up And stompeth them down Or rent a nice French bomb To poof them out of existance While leaving their real estate just where we need it To use again For temples in which to praise OUR GOD ("Cause he can really GO HAWAIIAN!") And when his humble TV servant With a brown suit, Glasses, Maybe a blonde wife who takes phone calls Tells us it's okay to do this stuff Then we gotta do it, 'Cause if we don't do it, We ain't gwine up to hebbin! Ain't that right? It's right. I mean, seriously, This television evangelist stuff is DANGEROUS BUSINESS. Don't let 'em get ya. Anyway, listen. We can't really be dumb If we're just following God's Orders After all He wrote this book here An' in the book it says: "He made us all to be just like Him," so . . . If we're dumb . . .

6. A Few Moments With Brother A. West (Brother A. West & FZ) guest vocalist: Brother A. West Tower Theater, Upper Darby, PA February 14, 1988 Thank you very much, Mr. Zappa. Ah, I'm very pleased to be here on behalf of the Administration-- the most powerful government in the world. And, uh, Mr. Fitzwater invited me to come here tonight to create some balance, because there has been some things done by Mr. Zappa that I think are unfair to our country. I think, from the beginning, to say that this is going to be balanced, when he has this lingerie up here, and makin' fun of children's toys, as a beginning, if this is what he has in mind, I think he's wrong. It's people like Mr. Frank Zappa that kept the Senate from being able to send ARMS to the DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS IN NICARAGUA! And I, for one, am headin' down there myself, as soon as I finish up here tonight. And I want the elected official, Mr. Charlie Sanders the Democrat, to remember that "Democrat" begins with a "D," just like DEMON! And we'll remember you, friend, when it comes votin' time. And Margaret Boyd and Carmen Bellacord, despite his former habit, did some help to back some things up. Friends, these forms cost money. And this money could be going towards a more powerful military; this money could be going towards driving out the illegal aliens. And instead, Mr. Zappa wants to have a bunch of young, uninformed 18 to 21-year-olds votin' here, and spendin' your money. And I just want you to know that tonight, I love him anyway. Because I've got love in my heart, and I'm not afraid of the fact that he's turned this into some kind of zoo up here. Sunday --that's not fair, Mr. Zappa-- Sunday night used to be a night in which Americans would get together. They'd go to their place of worship, and they would share. And I don't know why, on this night which is supposed to be Valentine's night, there aren't more people that have a heart that have a love affair with America. But instead, they're here on Sunday night, worshipping this man who's demonpossessed!

I ask you, Mr. Frank Zappa, what kind of man can name a child Moon Unit? What kind of man can name a child Weasel? What kind of man can name a child Omen? To me, it defies the logic. And I'm comin' here tonight because I want to share with him, just the same way we're going to give spirit power to the democratic freedom fighters down there, our brothers that wanna have the fReedom to be able to have a man like Pat Robertson, to have a man like Mr. Dole, restore America! And I'm gonna ask the power and the joy of the power of the living king of kings. And a lot of you here, you smut-minded, musical people say, "King of kings, that must be Elvis." Now, I'm gonna ask for the power, I'm gonna ask for the glory. I'm gonna now, I'm gonna tell you a story. I'm gonna drive out the demons, friends. I'm gonna ask you help this badness end. Come on Frank, let's have a story. Come on there 'n share the glory. Do you feel the power? Come on, put out the negativity . . . 7.

Say! Mother, Mary & Yozuf! And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to know How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The news will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven FZ: Ike Willis, Mike Keneally, Walt Fowler, Bruce Fowler, Paul Carman, Albert Wing, Kurt McGettrick, Chad Wackerman, Ed Mann, Robert Martin, Scott Thunes.

Alright, alright, alright! Sit down, sit down, sit down! Okay. Alright, let's get down to business, just wanna let you know, in case you-- you'd be blind not to notice this, but we are registering people to vote here. Think we did four hundred last night, and hope to exceed that this evening. But meanwhile, did everybody hear the great news today? Jimmy Swaggart under investigation! . . . Oh, Jay-ZUS! One day every one of those cock-suckers'll get caught! Now I understand in the case of Mr. Swaggart that he claims that it was not multiple encounters with many prostitutes. Apparently only one sweet young thing, and he did tell Cal Thomas of the Moral Majority that the sex act itself was not fully consummated. However he did admit to doing something pornographic with the girl. Let's use our imaginations, ladies and gentlemen . . . In the dark Where all the fevers grow Under the water Where the shark bubbles blow In the mornin' By yer radio Do the walls close in t' suffocate ya You ain't got no friends . . . An' all the others: they hate ya Does the life you've been leadin' gotta go? Well, lemme straighten you out About a place I know . . . (Now, get yer shoes 'n socks on people, Because it's right aroun' the corner!) You go out through the night An' the whispering breezes To the place where they keep The Imaginary Diseases, Out through the night An' the whispering breezes To the place where they keep The Imaginary Diseases Now scientists call this miserable little disease Podobromidrosis And well, they should! But us regular folks Who might wear a tennis shoe Or an occasional python boot Know this exquisite little inconvenience By the name of: STINK FOOT That's right! Y'know, my python boot was too tight Couldn't get it off last night Week went by, now it's July I finally got it off An' my girl-friend cry

"You've got STINK FOOT! STINK FOOT, darlin' Your STINKIN' FOOT puts the hurts on my nose! STINK FOOT! STINK FOOT! I ain't lyin', Can you rinse it off, do you suppose?" Well . . . Here Fido . . .

Now this is a special case, ladies and gentlemen, get that spot light over here, this is Ed Mann. Now, Ed had a tragic experience a few moments ago. One of the loyal fans in the audience came up and treated him like a war criminal because he fucked up the lick on "Dickie's Such An Asshole" way back when--who knows?--several weeks ago. But the people who come to these shows listen so carefully to every little detail that this man was deeply offended by Ed's performance. So to make sure that he gets his money's worth tonight, we're gonna dwell on it for a few moments now, and have Ed actually practice, kinda warm up for that big lick that happens in "Dickie's Such An Asshole."

Broadway will glow! Broadway will burn! (Along with the remnants of EVERYTHING NEW) My HOLY DISEASE will do Wonders for you! Those lovely producers

These are badges that he removed from a coupla boogers that Marty tried to palm off on him in the last town that we're, we was in. Actually they're booger pasties and he's hitting the, the booger pasty with a little stick to get a very interesting musical effect. You know, he does this every night, and sometimes he becomes so overwrought, so excited by the fact that he's actually touching a piece of metal that might have at one time come in contact with the actual flesh of a booger bear. George: Ooh, Lord, have mercy . . . FZ: And so sometimes he misses it, and he hits his thumb and he hurts himself . . . Yes it hurts very much, but he likes pain. We can tell that he likes pain because he's in this group. George: But, but, it's very close to other things . . . FZ: Yes, but later that night after George was finished fondling the booger pasty, a thought came to his mind: "How, how can I possibly get any nook tonight in Passaic if I don't put this thing down and play the piano and get funky for these people." And so, George, as you say in your language, took it away! George: But before we get funky, the continuing stories of . . . Napoleon: Boogie-The-Bay! Mother: Moon Trek! Napoleon: Ha ha ha!

And all it was . . . FZ: Really whipping it, just whipping it into a frenzy. George: All of a sudden he was gone! I looked around and Marty had took the booger out his room. I said: "Where you going?" He went down to his room, which was room 33. An hour later I went to his room. I knocked on his door. I said: "What you doin'?" He said . . . I said: "Say that again . . .

No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Wednesday I watched the riot . . . I seen the cops out on the street Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff And chokin' in the heat Listened to reports About the whisky passin' 'round Seen the smoke and fire And the market burnin' down Watched while everybody On his street would take a turn To stomp and smash and bash and crash And slash and bust and burn And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day You can cool it, You can heat it . . . 'Cause, baby, I don't need it . . . Take your TV tube and eat it 'N all that phony stuff on sports 'N all those unconfirmed reports You know I watched that rotten box Until my head begin to hurt From checkin' out the way The newsman say they get the dirt Before the guys on channel so-and-so And further they assert That any show they'll interrupt To bring you news if it comes up They say that if the place blows up They will be the first to tell, Because the boys they got downtown Are workin' hard and doin' swell, And if anybody gets the news Before it hits the street, They say that no one blabs it faster Their coverage can't be beat And if another woman driver Gets machine-gunned from her seat They'll send some joker with a brownie And you'll see it all complete So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin' Hopin' for the best Even think I'll go to prayin' Every time I hear 'em sayin' That there's no way to delay That trouble comin' every day No way to delay That trouble comin' every day Well, I seen the fires burnin' And the local people turnin' On the merchants and the shops Who used to sell their brooms and mops And every other household item Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em And they say it served 'em right Because a few of them were white, And it's the same across the nation Black and white discrimination Yellin' "You can't understand me!"

The Poodle Lecture FZ:OZ Baby Snakes The Palladium, NYC October 30, 1977 FZ lead guitar/vocal Adrian Belew guitar/vocal Tommy Mars keyboards Peter Wolf keyboards Ed Mann percussion Patrick O'Hearn bass Terry Bozzio drums FZ: In the beginning God made 'the light.' Shortly thereafter God made three big mistakes. The first mistake was called MAN, the second mistake was called WO-MAN, and the third mistake was the invention of THE POODLE. Now the reason the poodle was such a big mistake is because God originally wanted to build a Schnauzer, but he fucked up. Now a long time ago, the poodle used to be a very attractive dog. The poodle had hair evenly distributed all over its small piquant canine type BODY. That's the way it used to be, the poodle used to be a regular looking dog. You know it's true, I guess you do too. (Oh, I have to kiss you? Oh okay.) Anyway listen, check this out. The poodle used to look good, you know the regular dogs that used to hang out in the neighbourhood looked at the poodle, didn't think anything of it. You know, they didn't use to make fun of it in the olden days. But the WO-MAN, as you know, has always been much smarter than the MAN. Guy In The Audience: You're the best! FZ: That stuff is very bad for you, throw it away, okay. Now you're interrupting my story, now listen . . . What is that? Is that the Tower of Power or what? Oh no no, it's one of those dope fiend devices, take it away. Now listen: The WO-MAN has always been much smarter than the MAN, you know this is true. And so it was since the beginning of time. The MAN would do anything to get some pussy. And that's why the WOMAN always had control over him. In the beginning the WO-MAN looked the MAN directly into the eye and said: "I tell you what, why don't you go get a job because I could use a few nice things around the house. Mainly what I need is a clipper, a scissors, and a pair of zircon encrusted tweezers." (Thank you very much.) And of course the MAN did his duty as they say in the trade. He went out and he got a goddamn job. Went out and pushed that broom around for about a dollar-2.98 an hour, brought his money back to the garden of Eden and gave that money to the WO-MAN.

The WO-MAN ran out the back door of the garden of Eden, went directly to the hardware store, got the clippers, the scissors and the zircon encrusted tweezers and came back and, while the MAN was very tired from having his job, while he was sleeping, the WO-MAN got a hold of the POODLE. Because the WO-MAN had noticed earlier that the length and proportion of the poodle oral appendage, the tongue of the dog in other words, ladies and gentlemen, was very much to her liking, except that this dog had too goddamn much hair on it. It didn't have the disco look that's so popular nowadays. And so the WO-MAN sat out to modify the aforementioned dog. Let me get a little uh, visual aid . . . Now she took the dog and she cleaned it up a little bit. You see, she took a little bit of the back-part here, around the neck, the thorax, the tootsies. Got all of the unwanted extranious material off this area which we shall call Burbank. Then she set the little sucker up like this, really nice, got his mouth set up like that. And squatted right ON HIM. Looking down into the dog's eyes. She looked down into the dog's eyes, do you know what she said to the dog? She said: 3.

Bring the band on down behind me, boys. Hold it. Father Vivian O'Blivion Resplendent in his frock Was whipping up the batter For the pancakes of his flock He was looking rather bleary (He forgot to watch the clock) Because the night before Behind the door A leprechaun had stroked his smock An' that set him off in such a frenzy He sang LOCK AROUND THE CROCK An' he topped it off with a WOO WOO WOO An' he topped it off with a WOO WOO

An' he topped it off with a WOO WOO As he stumbled on his COCK Oh Lord! He was delighted when it stiffened And it ripped right through his sock Oh, Saint Alfonzo would be proud of me He shouted down the block And as soon as he did that, A crowd of people gathered around. All the faithful Came right up to him. They wanted to look at the pink thing Sticking out from the bottom of his Tasteful discreet black nylon man-of-the-cloth type stocking. And there it was, and here it was, and he went, "hey hey," And they all went, "ho-ho." And he calmed them With a gesture that he'd learned At an extension course in divinity school He gave 'em one of these, And then he went, And then he went, He gave 'em a few Dominus Vobiscums They shut right up He sat right there very still And then he looked them all in the eye Every last one of 'em He gazed at everyone of 'em And he looked them all in the eye And he turned to 'em each and everyone Each in his, each in his own words, each in his own way And he turned to 'em and he said: 8. Is That Guy Kidding Or What? Sheik Yerbouti You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 6 Baby Snakes The Palladium, NYC October 30, 1977 FZ lead guitar/vocal Adrian Belew guitar/vocal Tommy Mars keyboards Peter Wolf keyboards Ed Mann percussion Patrick O'Hearn bass Terry Bozzio drums Awright. See that? That's what you call a new song. When I'm gonna stand up here and read the son of a bitch while I'm doing it. We figured that this is a good place to do this song. It's only been performed once before and that was the, the evening after it was actually written in uh, Boston. I'll tell you the story of this song. This is called CREATIVE DEVIATION FROM THE NORMAL PART OF THE PROGRAM, simply because you trust the audience's good taste so much that you know that even if the band fucks up they'll go along with it. Awright. Because, ladies and gentlemen, this song has an important message and I believe this message has to be brought to the people of this great metropolitan area. Awright, now check this out. How many of you people feel that ROCK has gotten entirely TOO PREPOSTEROUS? I see that you're not all convinced. Some of you believe that ROCK is REAL. I can see that there was probably about 20 percent of the audience has had it up to here, and the rest of you people still believe in that shit. Okay, well this is dedicated to the rest of you people that still believe in that shit. Now check this out: How d- how do you rationalize the appearance of an album entitled I'm In You? I mean, wha . . . what, what is that? Is that guy kidding? (What, I gotta kiss you again? Okay.) Really,

look, all kidding aside, folks. Let's think about the world of rock, just for a moment. Some of you already have those cute little shirts on that say "disco sucks," right? That's not all that sucks. 'Course Warner Brothers sucks, but besides Warner Brothers there are other things about this business that really suck. One of 'em is the way in which the subject of LOVE is dealt with in the lyrics of various 'serious rock artists,' the intensive-care contingent of the rock world. These people, these people are FUCKED UP, I mean, they're really FUCKED UP. Because see, love isn't the way they're telling you about it, you know, they're telling you wrong. I'm gonna tell you right, you see. Now all of the ladies in the audience, you get to have fantasy time. This is female fantasy hour. Okay? You're a teen-age girl, right? You have abducted the succulent popstar of your choice, right? You have taken the aforementioned popstar, who is really cute and Aryan and eats a lot of crumpets, back to your teen-age room. That's right, spindle twice. You have taken this turkey back to your room, you have laid on your teen-age bed, you have put your teen-age legs up in the air, you have actually taken your own teen-age pants off. You have the teen-age red bulb on, right next to the bed. The curtains are drawn, it's dark, it's midnight. You put on a Phoebe Snow record, you're really relaxing. Tears come to your eyes, you are sensitive, you are in love. The popstar of your choice takes off his pants and climbs on top of you, and the next thing you know you hear this little voice in your ear and it says: "I'M IN YOU!" 9.

Lonely Person Devices speech over the vamp from Black Napkins Tivolis Koncertsal, Copenhagen, Denmark March 3, 1976 (early show) FZ guitar/vocal Napoleon Murphy Brock sax/vocals Andr Lewis keyboards Roy Estrada bass Terry Bozzio drums Has anybody ever seen Ms. Pinky? (Yeahhh, wow!) Hey, now you're gonna know what I'm talking about. We're gonna dedicate this whole song to Ms. Pinky. For those of you who don't know about Ms. Pinky: We recently visited that colorful country Finland, and were met at the airport by a gentleman named Erik. Erik sees us everytime we go to Finland, he's a very nice person. He collects autographs and gives us presents. And when we left Finland, Erik gave me a magazine to read on the airplane, it was one of his favorite books. Now a lot of people have heard quite a bit about Danish pornography, but have you ever heard of Finnish pornography? It's real different. He gave me a Finnish pornographic magazine that had some girls in it that I couldn't even believe that they would take

pictures of 'em. There was one or two in there that looked like Grace Slick but the rest of 'em were hurtin', really hurtin'. And of course the quality of the color photography was just a little bit too far in the red direction, you know, they printed too much red and they were showing a lot of girls with red shoes, big like this. But when it got down to the business-like details of that interesting zone between the legs these hunks of meat hanging down from the little bushes of hair all looked like they were horribly infected! Anyway, thumbing through the magazine, there was an advertisement in there for a product, it's a lonely person product, and I know you have quite a few lonely person products here in Denmark: There's so many shops that are dedicated to the needs of the lonely German, the lonely Italian, the lonely American and the lonely Spanish person that drifts into your territory. Now, there are many lonely person products, you know, the most basic of all of these is the vibrator. And uh, it, it can be very usefull and entertaining used properly. But when you start branching out to little things like Rover's Reamer . . . Has anybody ever seen Rover's Reamer? It's a plastic dog dick about this long with a crank in the end of it. Now that is definitely a lonely person product, and Ms. Pinky is another one of those special lonely person products. Ms. Pinky is shorter than the average girl because she doesn't have a BODY, all she's got is a HEAD. She's got a rubber head and her eyes are closed and her mouth is WIDE OPEN an she's got her lips rolled back over her teeth so she doesn't hurt you very much. And she's washable. So we're gonna dedicate this song to Ms. Pinky for all the good work that she has done for everybody who sent away for her in the Finnish magazine, and especially for the guy in the back who has probably got Ms. Pinky sitting in his lap right now, tucked away underneath of his overcoat, just down there, having a good time . . . 12.

We wanna try and work a little bit of, well let's just say Home Grown Irish Flavor into this program. Now bring the band on down behind me boys, this is really quite technical. You understand that each ethnic group has characteristics, and these characteristics are generally made fun of by other ethnic groups. Now I happen to feel that the Irish people in this country have gotten a "bum rap," to use a common expression. Many people feel that Irish people in America simply aren't sexy. Now in order to dispell the ethnic myth that people of the Irish persuasion are not particulary sexy, we are going to make it possible for volunteers from the audience tonight to demonstrate just how hot they are. Now what I would like to have, I would like to have at least four girls who think they are Irish to come up here . . . no, they have, no no no, they have to be volunteers, you have to volunteer for this, it can't be under duress. I, no, let me explain, this is very scientific, we need two more. Okay heh, you all think you're Irish, right? OK, ok. Now listen, quiet please, this is very very scientific. That's right. In order to prove that you are genuinely hot we're going to give you, each and every one, an opportunity to make a sex noise with musical accompaniment. And so: Make a sex noise! (Say) Make a sex noise! Make a sex noise! Make a sex noise! Make a sex noise! Make a sex noise! FZ: Now, I'm not sure that each and everyone of these contestants is truly Irish in the biblical sense of the word, but I think we have to give them credit for coming up here and representing the Irish people in Binghamton tonight. Especially when you realize that that's about the only form of safe sex left in America. Ike: Hah hah hah! 16.

No I could hardly resist going in you, because ever since I started writing love songs and everything and . . . You know it's very difficult when you're English not to write love songs because, uh . . . Guy In The Audience: Sensitive! FZ: What? Guy In The Audience: So sensitive! FZ: That's right, if you are English, you are, you are very sensitive. That's one thing I've noticed being an English person. In fact I've been an English person for almost five minutes now during this song and my sensitivity has increased to the point where, I don't know, maybe it's just all of our traditions: the tea, Winston Churchill, his large lips and everything. This kind of stuff why you start accummulating all of this civilization behind you and you know, what can you say, if you're English you're really fantastic, aren't you? So darling, it should come as absolutely no surprise to you that I went back to your little teen-age room and climbed on top of your teen-age body and took all of my English teen-age clothes off, and, you know, stuck my little lips up next to your ear and said: "I'M IN YOU! I'M IN YOU! I'M IN YOU! I'M IN YOU!" But I don't want you to get it wrong, you know. I don't, I don't just come over here and stick it IN YOU and IN YOU and IN YOU because I like you. It's not because . . . it's not even physical, I only do it, and remember taxes are really bad in England, the only reason I do it is to sell records. And I hope you'll understand . . . I'm going in you again (I'M IN YOU), baby You can go in me too, (I'M IN YOU) I'm goin' in you again, baby 'N later when we get through, GUESS WHAT? I'm goin' in you again, well In you again, ah!

"It's A Good Thing We Get Paid To Do This" Kensington Palace Hotel 1st script reading of "200 Motels" January 18, 1971 Mark: "It's a good thing we get paid to do this. I could be in L.A., getting reamed, listening to an Elton John album." Howard: "Don't even talk about getting reamed. Listen, I've been without female companionship for so long, a career as a Jesuit monk looks inviting, Ian is starting to look good to me." George: "Must be his green velour socks!" Jeff: "You just calm down there, Duke. Mark: "Ever since you left the jazz world to seek fame and fortune in the rock & roll industry . . . " Jeff: "What do you mean rock & roll? This fucking band doesn't even play rock & roll, it's all that comedy crap!!" Ian: "If we played any rock & roll we might make some money. I wouldn't mind playing some rock & roll, uh, I like classical music too, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy playing rock & roll. I

mean, it's not very challenging, intellectually, but I wouldn't mind if we did some rock & roll. We could vote on it." Jeff: "Vote on it? For what? To tell Zappa we want to play some good music instead of this comedy shit . . . ?" Aynsley: "I wouldn't mind playing some rock & roll, a bit more commercial, with sort of heavy four part harmony, group vocals and a very heavy beat, that the kids could enjoy. I think we'd definitely make more money that way." Ian: "Maybe after we finish the movie we could play more rock & roll." Mark: "Yeah! We could all quit and form other groups and play more rock & roll." Jeff: "And more blues, extended blues, blues but still down and funky, even though you extended it. George knows what I'm talking about, don't you, George?." George: "Leave me out of this. I come from the jazz world and I know all about these groups that get formed and disappear, with their extensions waving in the moonlight." Mark: "You just calm down there, Duke." Jeff: "Maybe we could all form a group, we could elect a leader . . . Howard . . . we could call it Howard Kaylan World." Ian: "We wouldn't have to have any leader." Jeff: "We could just jam a lot." Aynsley: "But it would have to have a really heavy beat and be really commercial so the kids could enjoy it." Howard: "I wanna get laid! I am so horny I can't stand it!" Jeff: "Listen, if you think for a minute anybody likes this comedy music we've been playing you're crazy. That's why you don't get laid, who wants to fuck a comedian! None of these girls can take you seriously." Mark: "Hang on, you should be careful talking about that kind of stuff." Jeff: "Why? Does he listen?" Ian: "He always listens. He's always watching and listening to all the guys in the band. I've been in the band for years and I know, he always listens, believe me." Jeff: "That's how he gets his material. He listens to us being natural, friendly, humorous and good-natured, then he rips us off, sneaks off into a secret room someplace and boils it in ammonia, and gets it perverted. Then he brings it back to us at a rehearsal and makes us play it." Ian: "I've been in the group for years and let me tell you that is exactly, that is precisely what he does: He steals all his material." Mark: "And the stuff he doesn't steal, Murray Roman writes for him. Listen, without us he'd be nothing!" 16.

A tree! BILLY was a mountain ETHELL was a tree Growing off of his shoulder BILLY was a mountain ETHELL was a tree Growing off of his shoulder Billy had two big Caves for eyes, With a cliff for a jaw That would go up 'n down, And whenever it did, He'd puff out some dust, And hack up a boulder (HACK!) Hack up a boulder (HACK! HACK!) Hack up a boulder (HACK! HACK! HACK!) Hack up a boulder Now, one day, a man in a checkered suit drove up in a big Lincoln Continental, and he laid a HUGE, BULGING ENVELOPE right at the corner of BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, right where his 'foot' was supposed to be. Now, BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, he couldn't believe it! All those postcards he'd posed for, for OVER THESE YEARS, and finally, now, AT LAST, his Royalties! Royalties! Royalties . . . Royalties! Royalties . . . Royalties! BILLY THE MOUNTAIN was RICH! His eyeball-caves widened in amazement, his cliff (which was his jaw), it dropped thirty feet! Ooh, a bunch of dust puffed out! Rocks and boulders hacked up, (hack! hack! hack! hack hack! hack! hack!) crushing 'The LINCOLN'! Now, the man in the checkered suit, well, without his car he went screaming off into the desert at sunset (AAAA-AAA-AAAAH!) all the way to Rosamond to get a beer and tell everybody there including Ronnie Cook what had happened to his car.

I gave him the money He acted real funny He hocked up a rock and It TOTALLED my car! Oh, do you Know any trucks Might be bound for THE VALLEY? I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar (Dear Lord) I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar (No shit!) I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar! By two o'clock, and the bars are already closed down, BILLY had already broken 'THE BIG NEWS' to ETHELL. With dust and boulders everywhere, BILLY, choked with excitement, announced . . . "ETHELL, we're going on a VACATION!" Yes, and they WERE going on a vacation! (Oh, and ETHELL, ETHELL, ETHELL, ETHELL just like a woman, of course she was delighted! She creaked a little bit, and some old birds flew off of her . . . Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song . . . ) BILLY told ETHELL they were going to . . . They were going to NEW YORK! "ETHELL, we're going to . . . New York!" But first they were gonna stop in LAS VEGAS . . . It's off to LAS VEGAS to check out the lounges Pull a few handles, Drink a few beers, (Oh, ETHELL!) ETHELL, my darling, you know that I love you! I'm glad we could have a Vacation this year! (Oh, NEET-O!) Glad we could have a Vacation this year!

"Word just in to the KTTV News Service undeniably links THIS MOUNTAIN and HIS WIFE to drug abuse and pay-offs as part of a San Joaquin Valley SMUT RING! However, we can assure parents in the Southern California area that a recent NARCOTICS CRACKDOWN, in Torrance, Hawthorne, and Lomita, will provide the SECRET EVIDENCE the Palmdale Grand Jury has needed to seek a CRIMINAL INDICTMENT, and pave the way for STIFFER LEGISLATION, increased FEDERAL AID, and AVERT A CRIPPLING STRIKE of Bartenders and Veterinarians throughout the INLAND EMPIRE. But it is This Reporter's Opinion that ETHELL is a FORMER COMMUNIST . . . " WITHIN THE WEEK, Jerry Lewis had hosted a Telethon ("Wah wah wah, nice lady!") to raise funds for the injured (injured . . . ) and homeless (homeless . . . ) in Denver, as BILLY had just levelled it, and, a few miles right outside of town, BILLY caused a 'Oh Mein Papa' in the Earth's crust, right over the SECRET UNDERGROUND DUMPS where they keep the POOLS OF OLD POISON GAS, and OBSOLETE GERM BOMBS, just as a FREAK TORNADO cruised through . . .

Now, it was about this time, I think it was right outside of Columbus, Ohio that BILLY got his NOTICE TO REPORT for his INDUCTION PHYSICAL. Now, believe me, ETHELL said she wasn't gonna let him go! "I'm not gonna let you go, BILLY!" And GEORGE PUTNAM, the RIGHT-WING CREEPO FASCIST PIG NEWSCASTER from Los Angeles said . . . (Take it away GEORGE PUTNAM, the RIGHT-WING FASCIST RADICAL CREEPO PIG NEWSCASTER from Los Angeles!) "We now have CONFIRMED REPORTS from an INFORMED ORANGE COUNTY MINISTER, that ETHELL is still an ACTIVE COMMUNIST, and it's This Reporter's Opinion that she also practices WITCH-CRAFT!"

Jeff: "Right . . . it's pathetic. He's making me do this. I can't help myself. Suicide imminent . . . " Mark: By the time we actually get to doing this, man, it'll just be two reels. 23. Going For The Money Jeff: Smurf mee! Howard: Smurf meee! Jeff: Metz. Right Howard? Howard: Right Jeff, we're going for the money, all the way

Kensington Palace Hotel 2nd script reading of "200 Motels" January 19, 1971 Jeff: This is what I joined for. This I don't think is pertinent. FZ: In other words, you don't wanna be in the movie. Jeff: Yeah. FZ: You sure? Jeff: Mm-hmm. FZ: Anybody else that doesn't want to be in the movie? . . . Is there anything specific that you don't like about that script? Jeff: No . . . in fact my part is the best part in the movie, I think . . . FZ: You've got the biggest part. Jeff: I didn't know how far this could go. FZ: And why do you think it went so far? Jeff: It was probably boiled in ammonia Howard: I'm curious to know why--like I asked you this morning-why it puts you out so much to do it, man? Unless you're just a little afraid that what you've gotta say is too much what you'd say anyway? Jeff: It is what I'd say. It's exactly-- It's there! Howard: So you're not . . . why you're afraid to say to the people out there what you've been saying to us for months? Jeff: I'm not afraid to say it to the people out there, I'm just afraid to be in this band anymore. Howard: Why? FZ: The lines that are in this film are based on things I've heard people say for years, all the way back to the very beginning. I don't think anybody should have any objection to saying any of those things, because you're playing yourself. Jeff: Should I turn this in? FZ: Sure. 25. A Bunch Of Adventures FZ: From the point that Jeff Simmons quit the group we've had a bunch of adventures trying to find somebody to replace him, not only for the bass parts in the music, but to play the role that he was supposed to play in the film, which is a pretty large part. And, uh, our first candidate for the role was Wilfrid Brambell, who played the grandfather in A Hard Day's Night. So Wilfrid came over, tried out for the part, everything was set, he rehearsed with us for about a week, and then one day came to the studio here, and completely freaked out, and said that he couldn't handle it anymore. So, we went into the dressing room, sat around with the guys in the band, and tried to figure out what we were gonna do about replacing the replacement. And the first person that walked through the door was Martin Lickert, who happened to be Ringo's driver, and, uh, everybody just turned and looked at him and went, "You!" 26. Martin Lickert's Story

Martin: I just went out to get some cigarettes for him one day and came back and walked into the dressing room and there's Frank and the rest of the Mothers and Ringo, few other people, and I walked in the room and they all went, "Yeah!" I said, "Yeah what?" You know, "Would, would you like to try Jeff's part?" You know, so I just tried that, and it seemed to work okay. Interviewer: Mm-mmh . . . Martin: So Frank said, "Well, if you can play, play bass, you can try playing with the group as well." FZ: So he took the script and he read it and he sounded good and then just quite by accident, we found out that he was a bass player. I think he's good for the part, is, uh, quite professional on screen and as a bass player he's not astonishing but, uh, he can make the parts. 27. A Great Guy Howard: Well, the character I play is a great guy, you see, right away that gives me a start. Uh, on the other hand, half of it's reality and half of it isn't, you know? Where the line is, it's sometimes even hard for the players to tell, you know. It's just that when you look at your script some lines come easier than other lines, you know, and usually those are the ones that you've said before, or feel that you could say quite honestly, you know, and some of the other things were made up and it, it comes out that way. 28. Bad Acting Mark: Ever since you left the jazz world to seek fame and fortune in the rock & roll industry . . . Martin: Rock & roll! What d'ya mean rock & roll? This fucking band doesn't even play rock & roll, it's all that comedy crap. 29. The Worst Reviews Howard: From 200 Motels he expects the worst reviews of any movie ever put out, and I said, "Yeah, Frank? Why is that?" And he says, "Well, nobody's ready for it . . . " But it doesn't really matter, you know? He knows that the kids are gonna go see it, because it's a

weird movie. By the time this turkey comes out, man, I mean, there still won't be anything out close to it. 30. A Version Of Himself Mark: Well uh . . . I play a version of myself as Frank sees me, you know, like, you know what I mean? Interviewer: No Mark: It's not, uh, he sees the group from . . . like we see him from one point of view and he sees us from another place, this was written around like where, you know, the folklore that each member had brought to create the image that we portray, like, uh, some of the scenes have happened before, specifically the, the hotel room scene where the group sits and talks about how Frank is not important to what the group is and . . . that scene I remember happening many times, uh, just the whole idea that it is Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention has always given us something to talk about, you know, Frank is, you know, our boss and so there's always that kinda management, uh, worker relationship that, you know, that just happens, it isn't like you, you plan for it to happen, it just does . . . 31. I Could Be A Star Now Martin: What do you do? You join the Mothers and you end up working for Zappa! And he makes you be a creep! You could have played the blues with John Mayall, or far-out exciting jazz with Blood, Sweat & Tears. Don: You really think so? Martin: Look, no one'll ever take you seriously after this . . . how can they take you seriously? In this business you either gotta play the blues or sing with a high voice. Don: You're right, I never should have joined the Mothers. Why, I could be a star now! Oh . . .

Don: This makes me nervous I'm gonna go do some yoga. Ian: Yeah, you'd better. FZ: Meanwhile, Dom DeWild, under pressure, prepares to unwind with some healthy yoga exercises. FZ: This is Euclid Motorhead Sherwood. Motorhead: What's the matter with him? Ian: He's nervous 'cause he couldn't play with our new group. Motorhead: Oh, that's nice, look at all those suits. FZ: Motorhead covets the uniforms of the other band. And also shows some interest in the bum of Underwood. Ian: Ayyyy Motorhead: Hey, ten years ago I knew a lot of guys that had suits like these. They're really nice. Hey can I play in the band and get a suit like that too? Ian: No! Motorhead: But I like the suits and I can play good. I can play . . . I can play anything. Ensemble: BOO! BOO! BOO! FZ: Motorhead is lying. He can't play good, he can't play anything. He's trying to con his way into the other band. He knows they don't want him. Bunk: I heard you play before. Motorhead: But I got practicing and play good. Ian: No discipline. FZ: He's lying. He hasn't been practicing, he doesn't do shit. Bunk: Ask me you couldn't even count to four.

Don: We must overthrow the diatonic system. (FZ: Yes.) Art: Bullshit. Don: We're coming to the beginning of a NEW ERA wherein the development of the inner self will be the most important factor.

FZ: This is what we need, it's a nice disciplined combo! FZ: And so that they would be completely packaged and fit in with the rest of the disciplined combo, the former members of the Mothers of Invention receive their initiation into the robot musical world.

disc 1 1. "This Is Phaze III" Lumpy Gravy includes a quote from Merry-Go-Round (Fischer)

Girl #1: Soundproof Larry: Well, not really soundproof but it doesn't bother you as much as outside . . . you you sneak in Girl #1: Lucky you found such a big piano, you know Larry: You sneak under the back, see? Way here down here. Get way down here here inside and when you hide in the corner, nobody can find you. See, they can't hear nothing 'cause it's cushioned 5. Reagan At Bitburg

Spider: This is Phaze III. This is also . . . John: Well, get through Phaze I & II first. Spider: Alright, alright. Here's Phaze I . . .

John: They're going to listen to the piano grow? Spider: Listen! Monica: This is going to turn into a . . . Spider: It's going to turn into another Haight-Ashbury. Remember how we commercialized on that scene? John: That was a really good move. Monica: Oh! That was a confession. Spider: Right, man . . . and all it was was like people sitting in doorways freaking out tourists going "Merry Go Round! Merry Go Round! Do-Do-Do-Do Do-Do-Do Do-Do-Do!" and they called that "doing their thing." John: Oh yeah, that's what doing your thing is! Spider: The thing is to put a motor in yourself 2. Put A Motor In Yourself 3. "Oh-Umm" Gilly: Ohh. Umm. Hmm. Girl #1: That's how long I've been here. I've been here ever since, ever since it got dark I've been here. Louis: How did you get in my home? This is my piano. How did you get in here? Motorhead: I thought it was my piano. Louis: It's mine. Roy: Since when? Louis: Since about 10 years ago its mine. Roy: You sure? Louis: Yes, positively. Roy: No, it was mine. Louis: This is a small place, you must be blind you know. Motorhead: Where were you at? Roy: Could have been one nine . . . No, it couldn't have been onenine-oh . . . Louis: It couldn't have been any more . . . How about try, just try 'G' . . . Roy: How did you happen to get in here? Louis: My mother said to me "You're a bad boy, Louis the Turkey. You'd better, you'd you you you'd better go on 'E' and stay on 'E' and you'll never see the world . . . you're a bad boy 'cause you you went to the bathroom on the floor!" you know? Motorhead: Did they make you clean it up? Louis: No, they made me eat it. Roy: Ooh. 4. They Made Me Eat It Girl #1: What's it like when . . . when they play the piano? Does it hurt your ears?

6. "A Very Nice Body" Louis: Yes . . . Roy: I kind of miss him Louis: Yeah, me too Roy: Getting on top of him and all Louis: He had a very nice body too Roy: Yeah, even though he was a, a . . . Oh well Louis: A dual personality, you know Roy: Yeah Louis: We have to think of what he's doin' out there? Roy: What did he go out there for anyway? Louis: Maybe . . . Roy: Maybe he wanted to get on top of one of those horse . . . ponies Louis: Yes, maybe he wants to have intercourse with them! Roy: What? Louis: Intercourse!

Whore-sss Louis: Boogey-man or something. Something out there. You might find a nice kind . . . Roy: Boogey-man? Louis: Well, something, you know. I don't know what it is myself -a horse -- 'cause human beings, decent human beings. Nice place to live Roy: Beans? You call them human beans? Louis: And then before they turn to be boogey-men or . . . Roy: That's why they came into the Steinway Louis: Yes, that's why 'cause I just couldn't take them anymore, you know.

8. "How The Pigs' Music Works" Lumpy Gravy Spider: I think I can explain about about how the pigs' music works Monica: Well, this should be interesting Spider: Remember that they make music with a very dense light John: Yeah Monica: O.K. Spider: And remember about the smoke standing still and how they they really get uptight when you try to move the smoke, right? Monica: Right John: Yeah?

Spider: I think the music in that dense light is probably what makes the smoke stand still. As soon as the pony's mane starts to get good in the back any sort of motion, especially of smoke or gas, begins to make the ends split Monica: Well don't the splitting ends change the density of the ponies' music so it affects the density of the pigs' music, which makes the smoke move which upsets the pigs? Spider: No, it isn't like that John: Well, how does it work? Spider: Well, what it does is when it strikes any sort of energy field or solid object or even something as ephemeral as smoke, the first thing it does is begins to inactivate the molecular motion so that it slows down and finally stops. That's why the smoke stops. And also have you ever noticed how the the smoke clouds shrink up? That's because the molecules come closer together. The cold light makes it get so small, this is really brittle smoke John: And that's why the pigs don't want you to touch it Spider: See, when the smoke gets that brittle what happens when you try to move it is it disintegrates John: And the pigs get uptight 'cause you know they, they worship that smoke. They salute it every day Monica: You know we've got something here John: And, and, and, and that's the basis of all their nationalism. Like if they can't salute the smoke every morning when they get up . . . Spider: Yeah, it's a vicious circle. You got it 9. Xmas Values

Motorhead: He's in the wrong piano Louis: No, you're in the wrong piano Roy: No . . . Motorhead: This is a Steinway Louis: You are! Roy: It's not a Baldwin . . .

I got my skin burnt uh cut open a couple times. It felt good. Wow, it felt good. And I really, I really climaxed Girl #1: Ahh. In other words, we never even had . . . Ahh Girl #2: We didn't have a chance, baby (Laugh). These holes are just the right size Girl #1: They really look like it, yes . . . indeed, indeed Girl #2: Right . . .

Spider: No, it doesn't revolve around it; that's what it is. It's one note Spider: Everybody knows that lights are notes. Light, light, is just a vibration of the note, too. Everything is. Monica: That one note makes everything else so insignificant John: What about negative light? Spider: Pigs use it for a tambourine, which is one of the reasons why their music is so hard to understand 6. "This Ain't CNN"

Is a symbol Of how nimble my mind will know Ooh-ooh! Narrator: (Swank suave!) Greggery:

Narrator: The adventures of GREGGERY PECCARY! Greggery: Oh, here comes GREGGERY, Little GREGGERY PECCARY The nocturnal gregarious Wild swine . . . Narrator: A peccary is a little pig with a white collar that usually hangs around between Texas and Paraguay, sometimes ranging as far west as Catalina Greggery: Catalina, Catalina, Catalina! Narrator: This particular peccary is part of that bold . . . Greggery: Bold . . . Narrator: New . . . Greggery: New . . . Narrator: Breed . . . Greggery: Breeding . . . Greggery: Narrator: That distinguishes itself by markings which resemble a WIDE TIE directly below the white collar Greggery: If it's wide enough Everyone will know That the tie I'm wearing Hi Mildred! Hello Gladys! WANDA! Narrator: Yes, from the moment they laid eyes on him, all the girls in the BIG SWIFTY Steno Pool KNEW . . . here was a nocturnal, gregarious Hoon-hoon hoonna-han Hoonna hoonna Narrator: Look out! Here he comes again! Greggery: Oh here comes GREGGERY PECCARY Yes it's cravy, cravy, yeah . . . Hoonna-han Hoonna-han Narrator: Every morning, GREGGERY drives his little red Volkswagen to the ugly part of town where they keep the Government Buildings. Greggery: Voodn, Voodn! Boy it's so hard to find a place to park around here! Voo-voo-voo-nya-hoon Narrator: GREGGERY PECCARY takes the elevator up to the eighty-third floor of a grim, gray, evil-looking building with a sign on the front reading: 'BIG SWIFTY & ASSOCIATES, TREND-MONGERS'. And what, might you ask, is a TREND MONGER? Well, a TREND MONGER is a person who dreams up a TREND (like 'The Twist' --or 'Flower Power'), and spreads it throughout the land, using all the frightening little skills that Science has made available! And so it was, one fateful morning, GREGGERY PECCARY made his way through the Steno Pool . . .

wild swine ON HIS WAY UP . . . a PECCARY of Destiny, Adventure and ROMANCE . . . Greggery:

TREND, thereby rejuvenating our limping economy, and providing for bored & miserable people everywhere some great new 'THING' to identify with! Stenographers:

Is there any mail for me? Stenographers: SWIFTY'S! THIS IS BIG SWIFTY'S! AT BIG SWIFTY'S WE ALL KNOW-OW-OW (WO-WO) YOU'LL GO FOR ANY GIMMICK OR GIZMO! Greggery: WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE INVOLVED IN A SERIES OF COLORFUL TIME-WASTING TRENDS? Narrator: AIR HOCKEY . . . biff . . . dush-h-h! Stenographers: LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP Greggery: IS YOUR WIFE SNORING BY THE SINK? Stenographers: LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA YOUP YOUP YOUP YOUP Greggery: AIN'T YOUR LIFE BORING, DON'TCHA THINK? Stenographers: YOUP YOUP YOUP-YOUP-YOUP YOUP YOUP Greggery: LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THERE'S SOME LITTLE SOMETHING TO DO! Narrator: Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a LIFE for you? Hmmmmm? Greggery: I must plummet boldly forward to my ultra-avant laminated, simulated replica-mahogany desk, with the strategically-placed, imported, very hip water pipe, and the latest edition of the WHOLE EARTH CATALOG, and rack my agile mind for a spectacular new And thus THE CALENDAR, in all of its colorful disguises was presented to the bored & miserable people everywhere! GREGGERY issued a memo on it, whereupon the entire contents of the Steno Pool identified with it STRENUOUSLY, and With his eyes rolled heaven-ward, and his little shiny pig-hoofs on the desk, GREGGERY ponders the question of ETERNITY (and fractional divisions thereof), as mysterious ANGELIC VOICES sing to him from a great distance, providing the necessary clues for the construction of this thrilling new TREND! Angelic Voices: SUNDAY Greggery: Sunday? WOW! SUNDAY, SATURDAY . . . TUESDAY THROUGH 'MONDAY - MONDAY'! SUNDAY, SATURDAY Narrator: WE HAVE GOT THE LITTLE ANSWERS TO THE THINGS THAT MIGHT BE BOTHERING YOU! Greggery: WE HAVE GOT YOUR LITTLE TOYS! Stenographers: (WE'RE BUSY MAKIN' 'EM!) BUSY MAKIN' 'EM, WE'RE BUSY MAKIN' 'EM Greggery: BUSY MAKIN' EM Stenographers: JUST FOR YOU! Yoo-hoo-hoo! Greggery: Highly efficient, Miss Snodgrass! Narrator: And with that, GREGGERY turned and strode nonchalantly into his dinky little office with the desk and the catalog and the very hip water pipe, and proceeded, with a vigor and determination known only to piglets of a similarly diminutive proportion, to singlehandedly invent THE CALENDAR!

WORSHIPPED IT as a WAY OF LIFE, and took their little pills by it, and went back 'n forth from work by it, and paid their rent by it, and before long they were even having BIRTHDAY PARTIES IN THE OFFICE by it, because NOW, AT LAST, GREGGERY PECCARY's exciting new invention had made it possible for everyone to find out HOW OLD THEY WERE! Greggery:

HO! HO! HO! Narrator: Which seems to be rumbling up from the very depths of the cave in which he has hidden his car! Greggery:

What hath GOD wrought? Good Lord! What was that? Narrator: Narrator: Unfortunately, there were some people who simply DID NOT WISH TO KNOW, and that's why, on his way home from the office one night, GREGGERY was attacked by a RAGE OF HUNCHMEN! Making his way through the evening traffic, GREGGERY notices that the other vehicles which crowd and bump his little red car are all inhabited by slowly-aging 'VERY HIP YOUNG PEOPLE.' They appear to be casting sinister glances toward him through their glinting acid burn-out eyeballs, trying to run him off the road, or make him bump into something . . . giving strong evidence of HOSTILE AGGRESSION! To elude them, GREGGERY takes the SHORT FOREST EXIT off the expressway. They zoom after him in all manner of cars, trucks, garishly-painted buses, and motorcycles. GREGGERY takes a bumpy trail off the main SHORT FOREST ROAD, which leads him up the side of a FAMOUS (and conveniently placed) MOUNTAIN, and into a strange cave on the edge of a cliff, not far from a LITTLE TWISTED TREE . . . with eyes on it. Meanwhile, the enraged HUNCHMEN (and HUNCH-WOMEN) rumble through the SHORT FOREST until (realizing the little swine has escaped), they decide to park their steaming vehicles in a circular pseudo-Wagon Train formation . . . and have a LOVE-IN! Under the influence of a fantastic amount of TRENDY CHEMICAL AMUSEMENT AID, they proceed to perform lewd acts, rip each other off for small personal possessions, and dance with depraved abandon in the vicinity of a six-foot pile of transistor radios (each one tuned to a different station). Greggery: WHAT? Narrator: The HUNCHMEN finally expire from exhaustion, and GREGGERY, who has viewed the proceedings from a safe distance, breathes a sigh of relief . . . Greggery: Phew! Narrator: Only to be terrified once again by a roar of immense laughter . . . Billy: GREGGERY doesn't realize he has concealed himself inside the very mouth of Billy: HO! HO! HO! Narrator: BILLY THE MOUNTAIN! Billy: HO! HO! HO! Narrator: And, as you all know, whenever BILLY laughs, rocks and boulders hack up, and the air for miles around is filled with tons of dust, forming a series of huge BROWN CLOUDS! Greggery: WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE CLOUDS THESE DAYS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? BETTER ASK A PHILOSTOPHER 'N SEE WHAT HE SAYS! Narrator: GREGGERY stops at a gas station and makes a mysterious phone call . . . Greggery: IS THIS THE OLD LOFT WITH THE PAINT PEELIN' OFF IT BY THE CHINESE POLICE WHERE THE DOGS ROLL BY? IS THIS WHERE THEY KEEP THE PHILOSTOPHERS NOW, WITH THE RUGS & THE DUST, WHERE THE BOOKS GO TO DIE? HOW MANY YEZ GOT? SAY YEZ GOT QUITE A FEW, JUST SITTIN' AROUND THERE WITH NOTHIN' TO DO? WELL I JUST CALLED YEZ UP 'CAUSE I WANTED TO SEE

A PHILOSTOPHER BE OF ASSISTANCE TO ME! Narrator:

FZ: Uh, Warner Brothers does not have the rights to this material, although it was delivered to them. See, this is an eight-sided album. Y'know, they don't happen very often. I had my nerve, didn't I? 6. Leather Goods

Take it away! Quentin: Folks, as you can see for yourself, the way this clock over here is behaving, TIME IS OF AFFLICTION! Now this might be cause for alarm among a portion of you, as, from a certain experience, I TEND TO PROCLAIM: 'THE EONS ARE CLOSING'! Narrator: Make your checks payable to 'QUENTIN ROBERT DeNAMELAND, Greatest Living Philostopher Known to Mankind'! Greggery: WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE CLOUDS THESE DAYS? WHO IS MAKING THOSE NEW BROWN CLOUDS? IF YOU ASK A PHILOSTOPHER, HE'LL SEE THAT YOU PAYS! Moire: L-le-leather . . . 5.
