"I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?"
— Frank Zappa, Senate Hearing on "Porn Rock", 1985, in response to Tipper Gore's allegations that music incites people towards deviant behavior, or influences their behavior in general
♬♪♩Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial.
Voices echo, "This is what salvation must be like after a while."
And Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles.
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze.
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeez, I can't find my knees!"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel♬♭♪
It's so obvious, you really wonder why anybody would even want to even write it down.
Read the Comments on this one. Pure Gold.
[ J. Edgar spent millions to get this. ] [For real and for true. ]
I know, right? He could have just asked. One of the least filthy Sea Chanteys in human history.
HA (from the "comments"):

Oh, Frank. We miss you.

I like the ones whose titles get misheard: "Ain't No Woman Like the One-Eyed Gott".
"There's a Baboon on the right"
I don't care what anyone says. I still think it's, " 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy."
So, I'm really late here, but looking at the Grauniad poll — people MISUNDERSTAND "Perfect Day"?
Well, that lyric makes a lot more sense than "Someone Shaved My Wife Tonight". Thanks!
