From Joe's Garage: Acts 2 & 3 (1979) by Frank Zappa

Act II: A Token of My Extreme (Zappa) - 5:30

Act II

SCENE NINE
A TOKEN OF MY EXTREME

Arriving at L. Ron Hoover's modernistic office / cathedral / ware-house /
Condominium complex, Joe is greeted by a pre-recorded message and
A dramatically illuminated image on a wall-sized TV screen...

L. RON HOOVER:
Welcome to the First Church of Appliantology!
The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only!

Don't you be
Tarot-fied
It's just a token of my extreme
Don't you be
Tarot-fied
It's just a token of my extreme
Don't you never try to look behind my eyes
You don t wanna know what they have seen
Don't you never try to look behind my eyes
You don't wanna know what they have seen

JOE: (thinking to himself)
Some people think
That if they go too far
They'll never get hack
To where the rest of them are
I might be crazy
But there's one thing I know
You might be surprised
At what you find when ya go!

And thus, having rationalized his expedition to L. Ron's modernistic office /
Cathedral / warehouse / condominium complex, JOE seeks The Answer to
His problem...

JOE:
Oh oh oh
Mystical Advisor
What is my problem, tell me
Can you see?

L. RON HOOVER:
Well, you have nothing to fear, my son!
You are a Latent Appliance Fetishist, It appears to me!

JOE:
That all seems very, very strange
I never craved a toaster
Or a color T. V.

L. RON HOOVER:
A Latent Appliance Fetishist
Is a person who refuses to admit to his or herself
That sexual gratification can only be achieved
Through the use of MACHINES... Get the picture?

JOE:
Are you telling me
I should come out of the closet now Mr. Ron?

L. RON HOOVER:
No, my son!
You must go into THE CLOSET
And you will have
A lot of fun!
That's where they all live
So if you want an
Appliance to love you
You'll have to go in there
N' get you one

JOE:
Well...that seems simple enough...

L. RON HOOVER:
Yes, but if you want a really GOOD one,
You'll have to learn a foreign language...

JOE:
German, for instance?

L. RON HOOVER:
That's right...
A lot of really cute ones come from over there!
(Fifty bucks, please)

And a cheerful group of Appliantologists dance into the room wearing
Aluminum foil lab smocks, lock arms in a circle around JOE, making
Sure he pays in full, all the while singing with L. RON as he delivers
Nis final instructions...

L. RON HOOVER:
If you been
Mod-O-fied,
It's an illusion,
An yer in between
Don't you be
Tarot-fied,
It's just a lot of nothin,'
So what can it mean?
If you been
Mod-O-fied,
It's an illusion,
An yer in between
Don't you be
Tarot-fied,
It's just a lot of nothin,
So what can it mean?
(etc., etc., etc.)

JOE leaves the First Church of Appliantology and sets out to try L. RON s expensive advice

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... Joe has just learned to speak
German Now, get this, heres why he did it! He's gonna go to this club on
The other side of town, it's called THE CLOSET...
And they got these Appliances in there that really go for a guy dressed up
Like a housewife who can speak German (you know what I mean)... so
Joe's learned how to speak German, he goes in this place and he sees
These little Kitchen Machineries dancing around with each other, and he
Sees this one...that looks like it's a cross between an industrial vacuum
Cleaner and a chrome piggy bank with marital aids stuck all over its body...
It's really exciting...and when he sees it, he BURSTS INTO SONG...

Act II: Stick It out (Zappa) - 4:34

Act II

SCENE TEN
STICK IT OUT


JOE:
Fick mich, du miserabler hurensohn
Fick mich, du miserabler hurensohn
Streck ihn aus
Streck aus deinen heifien gelockten.
Streck ihn aus
Streck aus deinen' heinen gelockten
Streck ihn aus

Ah-ee-ahee-ahhhhh!

Bis es spritzt, spritzt, spritzt Feuer!
Aber beklecker nicht das Sofa, Sofa!
Aber beklecker nicht das Sofa, Sofa!
Aber beklecker nicht das Sofa, Sofa!
Aber beklecker nicht das Sofa, Sofa!

Stunned by JOE's command of its native tongue, a gleaming model
XQJ-37 nuclear powered Pan-Sexual Roto-Plooker named SY BORG
(previously thought to be the son of the lady who called the Police on cut
Two, side I), spindles over to JOE and says..

SY BORG:
Pick me...I'm clean...
I am also programmed for conversational English.

This stuns JOE, who stands there speechless for a moment. Smitten by
JOE's animal magnetism, SY continues...

SY BORG:
May I have this dance?
And JOE, looking sharp in his housewife costume with the napkin on
His head and the yellow chiffon apron, responds boldly by repeating the
Entreaty originally delivered in Deutsch in its conversational English form,
So that his intentions regarding the Appliance will be made perfectly clear...

JOE:
I've got a better idea...
Fuck me, you ugly son of a bitch
You ugly son of a bitch
Fuck me, you ugly son of a bitch
Stick it out
Stick out yer hot curly weenie
Stick it out
Stick out yer hot curly weenie
Stick it out
Stick out yer hot curly weenie
Weenie.. .weenie, weenie, weenie!
Make it go fast
In and out,
Magical Pig
Make it go fast
In and out,
Magical Pig
Till it squirts, squirts, squirts, squirts
Fire
Till it squirts, squirts, squirts, squirts
Fire
Don't get no jizz upon that sofa, sofa
Don't get no jizz upon that sofa, sofa
Don't get no jizz upon that sofa, sofa
Don't get no jizz upon that sofa, sofa

Whereupon, in order to prove to JOE that he is no ordinary Appliance,
SY quotes a few lines of traditional American Love Poetry...

SY BORG:
What s a girl like you
Doing in a place like this?
Do you come here often?
Wail a minute...
I ve got it...
You're an Italian...
What?
You're Jewish?
Lore your nails..
Yon must be a Libra....
Your place or mine?
Your place or mine?
Your place or mine?
Your place or mine.
See the chrome
Feel the chrome
Touch the chrome
Heal the chrome
See the screaming
Hot black steaming
Iridescent naugahyde python screaming
Steam Roller!

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER. Joe and his date an going back
To the apartment to have a little party...

Act II: Sy Borg (Zappa) - 8:54

Stroking several of SY's gleaming appendages JOE continues...

Gee, Sy
This is a real groovy apartment
You've got here

SY BORG:
All government sponsored recreational services are clean and efficient

JOE:
This is exciting
I never plooked
A tiny chrome-plated machine
That looks like a magical pig
With marital aids stuck all over it
Such as yourself before

SY BORG:
You'll love it!
Its a way of life.

JOE:
Does that mean maybe later
You'll plook me....

SY BORG:
If you wish, we may have a groovy orgy

JOE:
Just me and yon?

SY BORG:
I share this apartment
With a modified
Gay Bob doll
He goes all the way...
Ever try oral sex with a miniature rubberized homo-replica?

JOE:
No, ah, not yet,
Ah, is this him?

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZED
This is him.
Your wish is his command
He likes you
He wants to kiss you always
Just tell him what you want

JOE:

Warren just bought some
Warren just bought some
Hey...

SY BORG:

Ehhh!
That tickles.
You are a fun person
I like you.
I want to kiss you always.

JOE:
Gee, this is great
Hows about some bondage and humiliation

SY BORG:
Anything you say, master.

JOE:
Oh no, I don't believe it
You're way more fun than Mary...

SY BORG:
You're plooking too hard...

JOE:
And cleaner than Lucille...

SY BORG:
Plooking on me...

JOE:
What have I been missing
All these years?

SY BORG:
Too hard

JOE:

SY BORG:
Too hard

JOE:

SY BORG:
Plooking too hard on me-e-e-e-e...

JOE:
Speak to me
Oh no...
The golden shower must have shorted out
His master circuit
He's, he's, oh my God
I must have plooked him...
Hey
To death...
Hey

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...You have just destroyed
One model XOJ-37 Nuclear Powered Pan-Sexual Roto-Plooker.
And you're gonna have to pay for it! So give up, you haven't
Got a chance.

JOE:
But I...
I, I, I, I...
I can't pay
I gave all my money
To some kinda groovy religious guy...
Two songs ago...

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
Come on out son...
Between the two of us
We'll find a way to
Work it out

Act II: Dong Work for Yuda (Smothers, Zappa) - 5:03

Act II

SCENE TWELVE
DONG WORK FOR YUDA

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
Hello there...this is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...
Joe was sent to a special prison where they keep all the
Other criminals from the music business...you know...
The ones who get caught...it's a horrible place, painted
All green on the inside, where musicians and former executives
Take turns snorting detergent and plooking each other...

(As the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER chuckles to himself for a moment,
FATHER RILEY, who became BUDDY JONES, steps into view in his
New identity: FATHER RILEY 8. JONES, Prison Chaplain, who, in a rather
Heavy-handed piece of imagery, is now entrusted with the job of singing
This song as he assists the captured executives in their quest for new
Meat to plook, and, once having found these victims for the princes of
The industry, trades them little blobs of sanctified lubricant jelly forcigarettes
And candy bars while he holds them down so the execs won't have to work
Too hard when they stick it in.)
... Anyway, while he's in there he meets this guy who used to be
A promo man for a major record company, Bald-Headed John...
King of the Plookers...

FATHER RILEY B. JONES :
This is the story 'bout Bald-Headed John

FORMER EXECS:

FORMER EXECS:

Etc., etc., etc.

BALD-HEADED JOHN:

My body contain uh water
I just loves the way these Copenhagens talks!
Driver, McDoodle...
Sausage
Salima
Salami
That looks like that stuff that Freckles lets out
Once a rmimfth...


Eventually FATHER RILEY B. JONES gets around to JOE wrth his little
Case of pre-blessed unguents...

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... Poor Joe. Hes getting tired of
Bending over... but we tried to warn him...didn't we? Okay, Joe...you asked for it...
Here comes The Big One...

Act II: Keep It Greasey (Zappa) - 8:21

Act II

SCENE THIRTEEN
KEEP IT GREASEY


JOE:
(annointing himself as he sings)
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy

MANX:
Roll it over n grease it down
I'll drive you through the heart of town

JOE (who is still wearing his housewife costume from when
He first picked up SY BORG in The Closet) adjusts his little
Apron to a more advantageous posi-tion and sings..

JOE:
Hey, the good women, they sure has it tough
The good men, well there ain't enough
All the good girls are lookin' all the time
Good men is something that they can't find
Cause if they find one miraculously
They try to be as lovin as they can be
'Cause if they find one and let him go
Chances are they might not never find one no mo'
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy

MANX:
Roll it over 'n grease it down
I'll drive you through the heart of town

JOE:
A good lovin' man is hardest to find
A good woman needs to ease her mind
And I know a few that need to ease it behind
All y'gotta do is grease it down
'N everything is fine
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy

MANX:
Roll it over n grease it down
I'll drive you through the heart of town

JOE:
A girl don't need
No fancy grease
To get herself
Some rump release
Any kind
Of lube'll do
Maybe from another
Part of you
Lube from the North
Lube from the South
Take a little slobber
From the side of your mouth
Roll it over
Grease it down
Here come that crazy
Screamin' sound...
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Keep it greasey so it'll go down easy
Roll it over 'n grease it down, down, down
Grease it down...
Oh no! Here comes that screamin sound again...

And sure enough the walls of the prison did reverberate with
All sorts of screamin' sounds as lawyers and execs and promo
Personages all decide to jump on JOE for a spectacular high
Speed gang-bang leading to...

Act II: Outside Now (Zappa) - 5:49

Act II

SCENE FOURTEEN
OUTSIDE NOW

JOE: (somewhat exhausted)
These executives have plooked the fuck out of me
And there's still a long time to go before I've
Paid my debt to society
And all I ever really wanted to do was
Play the guitar 'n bend the string like
Reent-toont-teent-toont-teenooneenoonee
I've got it
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll lay on my back here 'til dawn
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An executive kinda guy...

And sure enough JOE dreams up a few of those guitar notes
That every executive despises...those low ones...every exec
Knows it's only the records with the high squeally ones that
Get to be hits (except for Duane Eddy)...

Well, I guess that one did the trick
If they only coulda heard it
Half-a-dozen of em woulda strangled
While they was suckin on each others' dick
But that was just a bunch of imaginary
Notes I played
Just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin from day to day
That's okay
I'll be gettin outta here pretty soon
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fuckin room
Can't wait to see
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now...
Etc., etc., etc.

And JOE just lays there, dreaming imaginary guitar notes for years
On end, until finally they let him out...

Act III: He Used to Cut the Grass (Zappa) - 8:35

Act III

SCENE FIFTEEN
HE USED TO CUT THE GRASS

JOE: (to himself as he walks out of prison)
I'm out at last
Boy, the world sure looks different
Wow... there's hardly anything fun to do
Since they made music illegal
But I'm hooked I got the habit
I got to have it
I need to play
But theres no musicians anymore
They're all gone
Wait!
I've got it!
I'll be sullen and withdrawn
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I'll walk through the parking lot
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
To go with the loading-zone announcements.

JOE wanders through the world which by then has been totally epoxied over,
Carefully organized, with everyone reporting daily to his or her appointed place in
A line somewhere in front of a window somewhere in a building somewhere in order
To collect his or her welfare check, which, when cashed, made it possible for the young
Ones to continue the payments for the obsolete and irreparable appliances their
Parents had purchased on the installment plan years ago, providing as security
The future incomes of their children. The rest of these checks were used by the young
Recipients to buy fun things of their own on credit, most of which broke down or failed
Within moments of purchase and seemed to be stacking up everywhere.

CENTRAL SCRUTINEER:
The White Zone is for loading or unloading only.
If you gotta load or unload, go to the White Zone.
You'll love it.
Its a way of life.

As JOE stumbles over mounds of dead consumer goods formed into abstract statues
Ded-icated to the Quality of American Craftsmanship, dreaming his stupid little guitar
Notes, he hears, somewhere in the back of his head, the voice of MRS. BORG,
Taunting him:

Mrs. BORG'S VOICE:
Turn it down!
Turn it down!
I have children sleeping here!
Don't you boys know any nice songs?
I m calling the police!
I did it!
They'll be here... shortly!
I in not joking around anymore!
You'll see now!
There they are... they're coining!
Just listen to that mess, would you!
Every day this goes on around here!
He used to cut my grass...
He was a very nice boy...
He used to cut my grass...
He was a very nice boy...
He used to cut my grass...
He was a very nice boy...
He used to cut my grass...
He was a very nice boy...

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... Yes...he used to be a nice boy. ..He used to cut
The grass.. .But now his mind is totally destroyed by music. Hes so crazy now he even
Believes that people are writing articles and reviews about his imaginary guitar notes,
And so, continuing to dwindle in the twilight realm of his own secret thoughts, he not only
Dreams imaginary guitar notes, but, to make matters worse, he dreams imaginary vocal
Parts to a song about the imaginary journalistic profession...

Act III: Packard Goose (Zappa) - 11:31

Act III

SCENE SIXTEEN
PACKARD GOOSE

JOE: (clutching the hood ornament of an ancient car)
Maybe you thought
I was the Packard Goose
Or the Ronald MacDonald of the nouveau-abstruse
Well fuck all them people, I don't need no excuse
For being what I am
Do you hear me, then?
All them rock n roll writers is the worst kind of sleaze
Selling punk like some new kind ol English disease
Is that the wave of the future? Aw, spare me please!

Oh no, you gotta go
Who do you write for?
I wan u a know
I believe you is the governments whore
And keeping peoples dumb is where you're
C'oming from
And keeping peoples dumb is where you're coming from
Fuck all them writers with the pen in their hand
I will be more specific so they might understand
They can all kiss my ass
But because its so grand
They best just stay away

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, Joe, who did you blow?
???®?? pushed the button boy
And you went to the show
Better suck a little harder or the shekels won't flow
And I don t mean your thumb
So on your knees you bum
Just tell yourself it's yum
And suck it till you're numb
Journalisms kinda scary
And of it we should be wary
Wonder what became of Mary?

And no sooner has he wondered, a vision of Mary appears to him,
Delivering a little lecture

VOICE OF MARY'S VISION:
Hi! It's me... the girl from the bus...
Remember? The last tour? Well...
Information is not knowledge
Knowledge is not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
Music is THE BEST...
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis
(which is extinct).
Beauty is a French phonetic corruption
Of a short cloth neck ornament
Currently in resurgence...

And no sooner has she spoken (which is awkward and probably incorrect
But what the fuck), enormous flabby short cloth neck ornaments obscure
The horizon in a multitude, beating their ugly wings and working their hidden
Chrome snap attachments as they resurge in the direction of the White Zone
Seek-ing snack material near the Utensil Shrines of Greater America...

JOE:
If you're in the audience and like what we do
Well, we want you to know that we like you all too
But as for the sucker who will write the review
If his mind is prehensile
He'll put down his pencil
And have himself a squat
On the Cosmic Utensil
Give it all yon got
On the Cosmic Utensil
Sit n spin until you rot
On the Cosmic Utensil
He really needs to squat
On the Cosmic Utensil
Now that I got that over with
I'll just play my imaginary guitar again
Hey... sounds real good!
Hey...get down, me...
Boy, what an imagination!
Love myself better than I love myself...
I think...
What tone!
Sounds like an Elegant Gypsy!
What is that?
Musk?
It' hip!

Act III: Watermelon in Easter Hay (Zappa) - 9:05

Act III

SCENE SEVENTEEN
WATERMELON IN EASTER HAY

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...Joe has just worked himself into
An imaginary frenzy during the fade-out of his imaginary song...
He begins to feel depressed now. He knows the end is near. He has realized
At last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the mind
Of The Imaginer ...and ... ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway... Who gives a fuck
Anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last
Maginary guitar solo...

Act III: A Little Green Rosetta (Zappa) - 8:16

Act III

(after the song ends)
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... As you can see, MUSIC can get you
Pretty fucked up...Take a tip from Joe, do like he did, hock your imaginary guitar
And get a good job...Joe did, and he's a happy guy now, on the day shift at
The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of
A fully-charged icing anointment utensil. And every time a nice little muffin comes
By on the belt, he poots forth... And if this doesn't convince you that MUSIC
Causes BIG TROUBLE...then maybe I should turn off my plastic' megaphone and
Sing the last song on the album in my regular voice...

SCENE EIGHTEEN
A LITTLE GREEN ROSETTA

CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
You'll make a muffin betta
With a green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A tiny green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
You'll make a muffin betta
Betta
It's really getting betta
It's betta, it's betta
With a green rosetta

Green rositti
A little green rositti
It's really, really meaty
A little green rositti
Betta, betta,
(Hey, really out there...really good)
It's really getting betta
It's betta, it's betta
With a green rosetta
Setta, setta
(Good God, give the drummer some)
Green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
(Setta, setta, setta, etc....)
(Make a muffin, make a muffin, make a muffin,
Make a muffin betta, make a muffin betta, etc....)
With a green rosetta
A little green rosetta
(Etc....)

Good God! You're really jammin ! Now the Reggae version, hey, for the People in
The Third World... we haven't forgotten anybody on this song.. .for all of you French
People...who think that you re outta sight... And for the people in Spain...who think
The French people are where its at... And for the people in Mongolia who always
Wanted to go to Spain for a vacation... And for those of you in Taiwan who got chumped,
This chorus is for you: (Rang Tang Ding Dong, I am the Japanese Sandman...
Take eight...)

Green rosetta
Green rosetta
A little green rosetta
(Against the Reggae beat, though... No, it's still Reggae, but it s all backwards)

A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
You'll make a muffin betta (Etc., etc., etc...)

Now you see, some places in the Third World it might be difficult to dance to this because
The kerosene record player is not a very efficient device.. .And a lot of times they run out of,
They run out of spunk right in the middle of the chorus... Causing the song to sound like this...

A little green rosetta

However we continue in spite of the fact that the fuel may be low on your record player.
We suggest that in places like the Fourth World where things are really tough that you
Keep the record player going by rubbing two sticks together. And if all else fails, throw
The record away... build your own green rosetta...try this recipe: Well start with a lump of
Grass... the grass bone connected to the ankle bone...the knee bone connected to the
Wishbone...and then everybody moves to New York and goes to a party with Warren.
Hey! And we've flown in, at great expense, (triple scale, no less, ladies and gentlemen),
Steve Gad's clone to play the out-chorus on this song...lies really outa-site, in spite of
Thefact that the click track is totally irrelevant to what he's doing now. I in listening to
The click, yes I'm suffering with the click track right now...this guy is totally out of sync with it,

Is five?

They're pretty good musicians
They re pretty good musicians
They're pretty good musicians
They're pretty good musicians
But it don't make no difference
If they're good musicians
Because anybody who would buy this record
Doesn't give a fuck if there's good musicians
On it
Because this is a stupid song

A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
You make a muffin betta
With a little green rosetta
A little green rosetta
Rosetta, rosetta, rosetta
(etc., etc., etc....)

AL MALKIN.
