This live version of Zappa classic “I’m the Slime” featured Saturday Night Live announcer Don Pardo, lending his vocal talents to the monologue in the middle of the song (“You will obey me while I lead you…”, etc.)
FZ: 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-- TAKE IT AWAY, DON PARDO!
DON PARDO:
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
TAKE IT AWAY, FRANK!
FZ: Thanks, Don!
That's right, folks
Don't touch that dial
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
DP: (NO, FRANK! I'M THE SLIME!)
You can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
DP: (I'M THE SLIME, I AM THE SLIME)
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
You can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
DP: HA HA HA HA HA!
BWAH HA HAH!
BWAH HA HAH!
