Hey I’m not slime,  and anyone who knows me would agree!

This is a great song where Frank Zappa, ever satirical and entertaining, is trying to reveal the BOOB TUBE aka Television to the general population.

He’s also showing Americans how much we are just plain tools when it comes to letting government abuse and manipulate us.

Frank Zappa’s I’m the Slime. Televised LIVE Saturday Night Live 1976. Listen to the announcer talk over Zappa’s song when he says television.

I am gross and perverted
Im obsessed n 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 Im 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 got 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 livinroom floor

I am the slime from your video
Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go

Hey America, Whats our tonic of choice?

I might be movin’ to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of Dental Floss

Raisin’ it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
I can sell uptown
By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss,

But I’d be raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss

Well I just might grow me some bees
But I’d leave the sweet stuff
For somebody else…
but then, on the other hand
I’d Keep the wax N’ melt it down
Pluck some Floss N’ swish it aroun’
I’d have me a crop
An’ it’d be on top

(that’s why I’M movin’ to Montana)

Movin’ to Montana soon

Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon

(yes I am)
Movin’ to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
I’m pluckin’ the ol’ Dennil Floss
That’s growin’ on the prairie
Pluckin’ the floss!
I plucked all day an’ all nite an’ all Afternoon…

I’m ridin’ a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He’s a good hoss
Even though He’s a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He’s a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way I’m pluckin’ the ol’ Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don’t care if you think it’s silly, folks
I don’t care if you think it’s silly, folks
I’m gonna find me a horse
Just about this big
An’ ride him all along the border line
With a Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely Dental Floss
Well I might Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin’
In the moon-lighty night
And then I’d Get a cuppa cawfee
N’ give my foot a push…
Just me ‘n the pymgy pony
Over the Dennil Floss Bush
N’ then I might just Jumb back on
An’ ride Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana
Movin’ to Montana soon

(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)

Movin’ to Montana soon

Zappa on CNN Crossfire in 1986

“Why are people afraid of words?”

“I don’t believe that there is any word that needs to be suppressed, there is no scientifical realistic reason why you should suppress words from people.”

“I think if you use these so-called ’strong’ words, I think people get their point across faster and there is no beating around the bush.”

- This is from the 1986 Debate around Suppressing / Censoring Music, Music Videos. This debate is still on the forefront of the game today. Internet Censorship, Government control of Internet is the quest the suppress Words from the people. Words proliferate Ideas, Words describe things, Words are communication and humans aren’t meant to communicate.
