[BradWest96]

[tarantism]

[npspec34]

[rowzenator]

We are the slime! Think about it!

[yendytok]

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 controlledIt 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

[RainbowAlchemy]

Gross out!

[JimTheDuneBuster]

2 people don't watch enough tv

[TumbrelJockey]

Forget Barzini... it was Don PARDO all along :-)

[rowzenator]

Good to see warner bros, or whoever, whichever faceless slimy nasty corp have lost their grip on this one... take it away Frank!!

[caspianrex]

Don Pardo is so good in this song, and of course, the band rocks. One thing...is it just my slow-ass computer, or is the video on this really herky-jerky? The audio sounds pretty good, but the video is like a slide show.

[bongojim420]

I am gross and perverted, I'm 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 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! Frank Zappa

[Xtremist777]

Hypnotic

[Beatnikzombie]

I remember this night. It was the greatest.

[Xtremist777]

@Beatnikzombie He was banned from ever coming back for talking about the cue cards and "ruining sketchs"

[Beatnikzombie]

@Xtremist777 I bet he cried all night long about that one. Bwaahahahaaa!

[Xtremist777]

@Beatnikzombie Nope but I laughed my ass off when he was doing it.

[BODYSLAMwrestling]

@Xtremist777

Wrong! In 1978 he hosted the show, played 3 songs and appeared in sketches. You can buy it on DVD actually

[Xtremist777]

@BODYSLAMwrestling maybe that was when he was banned.

[BODYSLAMwrestling]

@Xtremist777 Just did a search and you're right, in 1978 it happened...

Frank Zappa

Unpopular with the cast and crew for his humor, Zappa also read cue cards and continued to mug for the camera throughout the show. Most cast members, sans John Belushi, stood far from him during the final goodnights of the show.

[eyefulpower]

This keeps disappearing from YouTube, no doubt because of NBC and the Zappa family trust. I actually remember seeing this on SNL when it was broadcast. It blew my mind.

[shelley9000]

@eyefulpower DITTO!!! I was 10, but my brother was really into it!

[TJLethal21]

I believe thats the Horn section from the Blues Brothers!

[Orlor]

@TJLethal21 Yes. Zappa used some of the Sat night live band (and Don Pardo) when he played in NY and the blues brothers used some of the members as well. In one of the "You can't do that on stage" CD's, you can hear Lou playing flute on The torture never stops.

[kl990]

my mind is blown

[LiverPuncher]

Zappa was light years ahead of his time.

[dai2008002iad]

Take it away Don Pardo!

Thank you^^

[daddyoj]

@dai2008002iad We knew Don Pardo from the health club, where he would walk around singing to himself all the time. If you got it, flaunt it I guess. But whats his news these days ?

[10menonachest]

take it away Frank!
