1. I am gross and perverted |
|
I’m obsessed and deranged I have existed for years But very little had changed I am the tool of the government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious But you can’t look away I make you think I’m delicious With the stuff that I say I am the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I am the slime oozin’ out From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don’t need you Don’t go for help, no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold
That’s right, folks Don’t touch that dial Well, I am the slime from your video Oozin’ along on your living room floor I am the slime from your video Can’t stop the slime, people, look at me go
Frank Zappa - Overnight Sensation - I'm The Slime
Frank saw it a looooooong time ago.

that the song is from what was probably the most commercial album Frank ever made. The first verse is downright scary.

I'm listening to the Malloy Archive from last night, and they just used this song as the bumper to the commercial break. It's in the last half hour of the show.
Weird

2. When Newton Minow spoke about a "vast wasteland"....... |

he probably never thought it would apply to the White House
