Unha delicatessen do nunca ben ponderado Frankie... (-non deixen de ler o meu comentario-)
Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
They say I'm the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
I'm dressin' sharp'n' I'm acting cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work'n' maybe later I'll rape her
Oh God I am the American dream
I do not think I'm too extreme
An' I'm a handsome sonofabitch
I'm gonna get a good job'n' be real rich
(get a good, get a good ...)
Women's liberation
Came creepin' all across the nation
I tell you people, I was not ready
When I fucked that dyke by the name of Freddie
She made a little speech then
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick
Oh God I am the American dream
But now I smell like Vaseline
An' I'm a miserable sonofa bitch
Am I a boy or a lady ...? I don't know which
(I wonder, wonder ...)
So I went out'n' bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda' cute
Got a job doin' radio promo
An' none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
Eventually me'n' a friend
Sorta drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
Long as I gets little golden shower
Oh God I am the American dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An' I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin', "Thank you, Fred"
Oh God, Oh God, I'm so fantastic !
Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down

O propio Frankie Zappa -o mestre da comedia rock- describiu esta canción como a historia 'sexual spastic' do misóxino Bobby Brown, que pasou de ser o "the cutest boy in town" a cuestionar a súa sexualidade grazas á lesbiana Freddie...
Evidentemente este tema non foi moi ben recibido nos EUA, como era de esperar polas razóns suficientemente explícitas na letra do tema . Pero en Europa o seu éxito foi grandioso. Nas tribus ibéricas pois... como o inglés seguía a ser unha materia pendente... pois... iso... a imaxinar que dicia a 'damned' canción!
