‘76년 말에 열린 프랭크 자파의 뉴욕 라이브 공연의 레코딩이다. 그의 전반기 사운드를 종합하는 형식의 다양한 대표곡들이 수록된 본 작품은 그 탁월한 내용과 연주 등을 비추어 볼 때 그가 남긴 많은 실황 앨범들 중 단연 최고로 대접 받을 정도로 집중력 있는 사운드 메이킹을 들려주고 있다. 마이클 브레커(색소폰), 랜디 브레커(트럼펫), 테리 보지오(드럼), 에드 만(퍼커션) 등 참여한 뮤지션들도 역시 최고의 구성를 띄고 있다. 특히 더블 CD로 구성된 본 작은 원작에는 수록되지 않은 4곡의 보너스 트랙까지 실려있어 한층 도 높은 소장의 가치를 선사하고 있다. .... ....
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

In today's rapidly changing world Rock groups appear every fifteen minutes, Utilising some new promotional device. Some of these devices have been known To leave irreparable scars On the minds of foolish young consumers. One such case is seated before you: Little skinny Terry 'Ted' Bozzio, That cute little drummer! That's right! Terry recently fell in love With a publicity-photo of a boy named Punky Meadows... (Oh Punky!)... Lead guitar player from a group called Angel. In the photograph, Punky was seen with a beautiful shiny hairdo In a semi-profile which emphasized the pootched out succulence Of his insolent pouting rictus, The sight of which drove the helpless young drummer mad with desire!
I can't stand the way he pouts 'Cause he might not be pouting for me! Punky Meadows, pouting for you? Ha! You bet sailor! You mean, You mean he's not...he's not pouting... He's not pouting for me? His hair's so shiny and it's done real nice 'Til I squirm with ecstasy
Punky, Punky, give me your lips to die on!
Oh Punky, isn't it romantic?
Punky, Punky, give me your lips To die on...I promise not to come in your mouth Punky, Punky, your album's the shits! It's all wrong!
I ain't really queer But if he ever got near Steven Tyler would PAY to see! PAY to see!
Punky's lips, Punky's lips His hair's so shiny, I love his hips! I love his teeth and his gums and such! Punky (What is it, you homo?) You're an Angel! You're too much (Oh God!)
The boys of my thoughts in my lonely teenage room!
He's been havin' a rash (No shit!) That keeps the girls away (It's true) Skin doom (Skin doom) Is what the doctors say And that makes me wonder I wonder what Punky is rehearsing today I'll just go over, and hear him play His hair is so pretty...I'd like to bite his neck I've heard a rumor he's more fluid than Jeff Beck BUT I AIN'T QUEER I AIN'T GAY (He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay) A wrist array-ee-ay (That's all that is, I swear!)
Punky's lips, Punky's lips! Oh! I love his hair while eatin' dunk-y chips Yeah! I love his blink and his blank-blank-blank Why, maybe he'd like to yank my crank? YANK IT PUNKY! YANK IT FASTER! YANK IT HARDER! YANK IT ALL NITE LONG! COME ON PUNKY! GET FUNKY!
I AIN'T QUEER No no no no! I AIN'T GAY No no no no! (He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay) Wrist array-ee-ay And then he told me now: I AIN'T QUEER! (Hey!) I AIN'T GAY! (Hey! Hey!) (He's a little fond of chiffon in a wrist array-ee-ay-ee-ay)
I-I, Lord, I'm fo-o-o-ond of chiffo-on In a wrist array-ee-ay Oh oh oh oh! I-I, I said I'm fo-o-ond of chiffo-on In a wri-i-i-i-ist array Come on Punky! Give me your lips! Ride on my Venus-trip!

Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes and scratch their matted hair A tiny light from a window hole a hundred yards away Is all they ever get to know about the regular life in the day; An' it stinks so bad the stones been chokin' 'N weepin' greenish drops In the room where the giant fire puffer works 'N the torture never stops The torture never stops
Slime 'n rot, rats 'n snot 'n vomit on the floor Fifty ugly soldiers, man, holdin' spears by the iron door Knives 'n spikes 'n guns 'n the likes of every tool of pain An' a sinister midget with a bucket an' a mop where the blood goes down the drain;
An' it stinks so bad the stones been chokin' 'N weepin' greenish drops In the room where the giant fire puffer works 'N the torture never stops The torture never stops The torture The torture The torture never stops.
Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair An evil prince eats a steamin' pig in a chamber right near there He eats the snouts 'n the trotters first The loin's 'n the groin's is soon dispersed His carvin' style is well rehearsed He stands and shouts All men be cursed All men be cursed All men be cursed All men be cursed And disagree, well no-one durst He's the best of course of all the worst Some wrong been done, he done it first
(Well, well) An' he stinks so bad, his bones been chokin' (Yeah) 'N weepin' greenish drops, (Well) In the night of the iron sausage, (Well) Where the torture never stops The torture never stops The torture The torture The torture never stops.
Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair Who are all those people that he's locked away up there Are they crazy?, Are they sainted? Are they zeros someone painted?, It has never been explained since at first it was created But a dungeon like a sin Requires naught but lockin' in Of everything that's ever been Look at hers Look at him That's what's the deal we're dealing in That's what's the deal we're dealing in That's what's the deal we're dealing in That's what's the deal we're dealing in
