This thread got me off on a tangent looking for some old lyrics and I just HAD to have.....
I was really looking for some old Arlo Guthrie lyrics for a song called "Me and my goose" from his 1974 self titled album....
(I never found the lyrics to that song or even an offer to buy the album... If anyone knows where to get this I would love to get a copy)
funny how looking for stuff on the internet can lead you to unknown places....
Anyway, this was one of my favorite songs when I was about 15 - it was released in 1973....
BTW: I was 12 in 1973, It took me a couple of years to find this one......
I'm The Slime / From: Overnight Sensation - Frank Zappa
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm 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'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm 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 livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
