Bill,
ANOTHER ZAPPA FAN!!! WOOHOO!!
Cosmic Debris is one of many personal favourites. I'm edging about 60% of the Zappa catalogue which is about 40 CDs at the moment. The best bit of that song (as I'm sure you can guess) IMO is:
""I've got troubles of my own" I said, "and you can't help me out, So, take your preparations and medications and ram it up your snout", "But, I got a crystal ball", he said, and held it to the light, 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 it looked like I was deep, I said some mumbo jumbo then, I told him he was going to sleep, I robbed his rings, and pocket watch, and everything else around, I had that sucker hypnotised, he couldn't even make a sound, I proceeded to tell him his future then, as long as he was hanging around, "The price of meat has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down"
"Look here brother, who you jiving with that Cosmic 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 you waste your time on me.""
Zappa was a genius, and much missed.
