A Token of My Extreme

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 want to know what they have seen

Don't you never try to look behind my eyes

You don't want to know what they have seen

Joe:

Some people think

That if they go too far

They'll never get back

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 out when ya go!

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

Joe:

What?

L. Ron Hoover:

And you will have

Joe:

Eh?

L. Ron Hoover:

Hey!

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)

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?

If you been

Mod-O-fied,

It's an illusion, an yer in between . . .

Central Scrutinizer:

This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . Joe has just learned to speak German. Now, get this, here's 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 . . .
