I was 12 or so.. didn't't even understand it's lyrics (thankfully for then!). but, was mesmerised by the music.. I still listen to Overnite Sensation and Apostrophe many, many moons later.. takes me back to my youth, my life back in Scotland..

[@daver8437]

Frank Zappa wanted to use backup singers on the songs "I'm the Slime", "Dirty Love", "Zomby Woof", "Dinah-Moe Humm" and "Montana". His road manager suggested The Ikettes, and Ike & Tina Turner were contacted. Ike Turner insisted that Zappa pay the singers, including Tina Turner, no more than $25 per song.[1] However, an invoice shows that they were actually paid $25 per hour, and in total $187.50 each for 7 1/2 hours of service.[2] During the recording sessions at Bolic Sound, Tina brought Ike into the studio to hear the highly difficult middle section of "Montana" which had taken the Ikettes a few days to learn and master. Ike listened to the tape and responded "What is this shit?" before leaving the studio.[1] Ike later insisted that Zappa not credit the Ikettes on the released album.[1]-Wikipedia

Seeing the SNL version of I'm the Slime is one of my earliest memories of watching TV as a kid with my dad.

Song is short because it was directly pointed at Ted Turner, and Tina played it for her dad. Ted owned the rights to a few ZAPPA Albums. Zappa wanted out of that contract. Story goes, when Tina and the I-kets joined the group, Zappa made this song to spite Ted Turner because he wanted the girls to be paid only $20.00. Or so the story has been told....

The Graphic Artwork on the album cover was done by avant garde artist Robert Williams. Williams was apart of a group of graphic artists in the mid to late 60's that included Robert Crumb, the instigator of the infamous "Zap Comix". Artists Spain Rodriguez, Gilbert Shelton, S Clay Wilson, Victor Moscoso, and Rick Griffin, contributed to these masterpieces of unshackled expressionism from the staid conformity and conventionalism in the post war 50's. When Crumb published the first issue, he said he had no intention of doing any more than that issue. It quickly became an underground classic, prompting further issues. The artwork, storylines -which included scathing anti-facist political satire, hippie and very progressive political satire, very adult storylines (not for fundagelicals), and psychedelia, were presented in a way that blew peoples minds. If you want insight into the social battles being fought at that time, and that are still with us today, Zap Comix can be an education, enlighting, and mind blowing.
