Dreamed I was an eskimo Frozen wind began to blow Under my boots and around my toes The frost that bit the ground below It was a hundred degrees below zero...
And my mama cried And my mama cried Nanook, a-no-no Nanook, a-no-no Don?t be a naughty eskimo Save your money, don?t go to the show
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh Well I turned around and I said ho, ho And the northern lights commenced to glow And she said, with a tear in her eye Watch out where the huskies go, and don?t you eat that yellow snow Watch out where the huskies go, and don?t you eat that yellow snow
(well, right about that time people A fur-trapper (who was strictly from commercial) Had the unmitigated audacity to jump up from behind my igloo (peekaboo whoo woo) And he started into whippin? on my favorite baby seal With a lead-filled snowshoe)
He went right upside the head of my favorite baby seal He went whap with a lead-filled snowshoe, and He hit him on the nose and hit him on the fin, and he That got me just about as evil as an eskimo boy can be. so I bent down And I reached down, and I scooped down and I gathered up a generous Mitten-ful of the deadly yellow snow
The deadly yellow snow, from right there where the huskies go!
Whereupon I proceeded to take that mittenful of the deadly yellow snow Crystals and rub it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous Circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined To take the place of the mudshark in your mythology Here it goes,the circular motion, now rub it!
And then In a fit of anger I POUNCED
And I POUNCED again
GREAT GOOGLEY MOOGLEY!
I jumped up and down on the chest of him
I injured The fur trapper
Well he was very upset, as you can understand And rightly so, because the Deadly yellow snow crystals had Deprived him of his Sight
And he stood up, and he looked around, and he said
I can?t see I can?t see Oh, woe is me I can?t see
Well.....you know I can?t see Nothin?
He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye And the husky wee-wee I mean the doggie wee-wee Has blinded me And I can?t see Temporarily
Well, the fur-trapper stood there, with his arms outstretched across the Frozen white wasteland, trying to figure out what he was going to do about His deflicted eyes. and it was at that precise moment that he remembered And 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 the result of some sort of conflict with anyone named Nanook, The only way you can get it fixed up is to go
Trudging across the tundra Mile after mile Trudging across the tundra
Right down to the parish of st. alphonzo

Frank Zappa - Trouble Every Day Lyrics
Well Im about to get up sick From watchin my t.v. 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 its gonna change, my friend Is anybodys guess So Im watching and Im waiting Hopin? for the best Even think I go to praying Every time I hear them sayin? That theres no way to delay That trouble comin everyday No way to delay That trouble comin every day
Wednesday I watched the riot Ive seen the cops out on the street Watch them throwing rocks and stuff and choking in the heat Listen to reports About the whiskey passin round Seen the smoke and fire And the market burnin down Watched while everybody on his street would take a turn They stomp and smash and bash and crash and slash and bust n burn And Im watching and Im waitin hopin for the best Even think I go to prayin Every time I hear em sayin That theres no way to delay That trouble comin every day No way to delay That trouble comin everyday
You can cool it You can heat it Cause baby I dont need it Take your t.v. tube and eat it And all that phony stuff on sports And all those unconfirmed reports You know I watch that rotten box Until my head begin to hurt From checkin out the way The newsmen say they get the dirt Before the guys on channel so and so And further they assert That any show they litter up They bring you news if it comes up They say that if the place blows up They will be the first to tell Cause the boys they got downtown Working hard and doin swell And if anybody gets the news Before it hits the streets They say that no one blams it faster Their coverage cant be beat And if another woman driver Gets machine gunned from her seat Theyll send some joker with a brownie And youll see it all complete
So Im watching and Im waiting Hopin for the best Even think I go to praying Every time I hear them saying That theres no way to delay That trouble comin everyday No way to delay That trouble comin every day
Well Ive seen the fires burnin And the local people turnin All the merchants and the shops Who use to sell their brooms and mops And every other household item Watch the mob just turn and bite em And they say it serve them right Because a few of them are white And its the same across the nation Black and white discrimination Yell and you can understand me And all that other crap they hand me In the papers and t.v. And all that mass stupidity That seems to grow more everyday These time of year some asshole say He wants to go and do you in Cause the color of your skin Just don?t appeal to him No matter if its black or white Because he?s out for blood tonight

Billy the Mountain is one my favs, it is long and informative. "Don't fuck with mountains" heheheh A good record exists called "ZAPPED" it is a compilation of artists that were friends with or influenced/produced by Zappa (Captain Beefheart, Alice Cooper, Wild man Fischer) Good stuff.

My first exposure to Zappa was the movie '200 Motels'. I still look for it any time I go into a store. I'd love to buy a copy (that and 'The Making of 200 Motels', both great to watch).
My brother sent a letter to Zappa in about '90 or '91. It was a letter about how distraught my brother was at the time (he was in a Zappa phase so he decided to write Zappa about his problems... ). Anyway, he got back an 8X10 glossy of Zappa which had written across it with a sharpie...
Dear Matt, Relax! Frank Zappa

I really don't see how any person on the face of the planet, who was familiar with at least a good variety of Zappa's work, could not be an enormous fan.
The man was great on all fronts. Civil rights, skeptical, bright, funny, and to boot the music he pumped out was absolutely polished to perfection, and exploding with brilliance.
That might seem a little over the top, but seriously, Frank Zappa was good shit all 'round.

if you guys haven't yet, definitely pick up his semi-autobiography. this guy followed him around for a few years and interviewed him and wrote a book on his life. the book is called....wait for it....The Real Frank Zappa Book. if your library is cool, they should have it. it's a quick, fun read. I read it in 2 days, and I'm not a "reader". it talks about his upbringing and musical influences, early recording days, playing shows (one great story about having like 10 people in the audience and getting them all to come up and play the band's instruments while the band sat in the audience and watched), some of his political and philosophical thoughts, his run-in and court escapades with the PMRC, etc. ch-ch-check it out, yo.

The mystery man came over And he said I?m outta sight! He said for a nominal service charge I could reach nirvana tonight If I was ready, willing and able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of His pressing affairs and devote His attention to me
But I said look here brother Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Look here brother, don?t waste your time on me
The mystery man got nervous And he fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe And he whipped out a shaving kit Now I thought it was a razor And a can of foaming goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin? his box won?t do With the oil of aphrodite, and the dust of the grand wazoo He said you might not believe this, little fella But it?ll cure your asthma too
And I said look here brother Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway? Look here brother, don?t waste your time on me (don?t waste your time)
I?ve got troubles of my own, I said And you can?t help me out So, take your meditations and your preparations And ram it up your snout! But I got the crystal ball, he said And held it to the ligh So I snatched it, all away from him And I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper ?round my head So I looked like I was deep I said some mumbo-jumbo, then I told him he was going to sleep I robbed his rings and pocketwatch And everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn?t even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future, then As long as he was hanging around I said the price of meat has just gone up And your old lady has just gone down!
And I said look here brother-who you Jiving with that cosmik debris? Now is that a real poncho or is that a sears poncho? Don?t you know, you could make more money as a butcher? So, don?t waste your time on me Don?t waste it, don?t waste your time on me (shanti)
