Put me on the white hook
Back in the fat rack
Shad rack ee shack

Look up in the sky there's uh dirigible there
The drazy hoops whir
You can see them just as they were
All the people stir

'n run their hands over the blimp the blimp
Daughter don't yuh dare
Oh momma who cares
It's the blimp it's the blimp

Captain Beefheart (Don van Vliet)
Captain Beefheart (Don van Vliet), originally uploaded by noe kidder.
Don Van Vliet (born Don Glen Vliet on January 15, 1941) is an American musician and painter, best known by the pseudonym Captain Beefheart. His musical work was mainly conducted with a rotating assembly of musicians called The Magic Band, which was active between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s. Van Vliet was chiefly a singer and harmonica player, occasionally playing saxophone, bass clarinet and keyboards. His compositions are characterized by their odd mixtures of shifting time signatures and by their surreal lyrics, while Van Vliet himself is noted for his dictatorial approach to his musicians and for his enigmatic relationship with the public.
The Magic Band's output is rooted in blues-rock, but draws on more additional influences. 1969's Trout Mask Replica takes cues from free jazz, psychedelia, and contemporary experimental composition. With its follow-up albums the group turned to more conventional rock music, but they were frustrated by a lack of commercial success and disbanded in 1974. Towards the end of the decade Van Vliet formed a new Magic Band with a group of younger musicians and produced three albums that revisited the eccentricities of his earlier work. Van Vliet's music attracted a devoted following and his influence on fellow musicians, particularly those of the punk and New Wave movements, has been described as "incalculable."[1]
Van Vliet retired from music in the early 1980s to devote himself to painting and he has since made few public appearances. His interest in art dates back to a childhood talent for sculpture. His work—which has been described as neo-primitive and abstract-expressionist[2]—has been exhibited in several countries.

Bob Pierce - King of the Bungaloos
"King of the Bungaloos"
I just received a cable back from my ancestral home
It tells me I'm the Great Gazoo
Successor to the throne
My throne will be a bungalow way up in the trees
Where I'll be the ruling monarch over all
My place will be gorillas, apes, monks and chimpanzees
Who will be ever ready after my call
Well, I will be that King Gazoo
The ruler high of the bungaloos
And when I ride on the mighty Nile
On that royal crocodile
When on the throne I'll take my stand
Then I'll be a mighty man
I'll be that zo-koo koo-koo grand king of the bungaloos...
