Porn Wars

Frank Zappa

The reason for this hearing
Is not to promote any legislation,
(indeed, i don't know of any suggestion
That any legislation 'd be passed),
But to simply provide a form
For airing the issue itself,
For ventilating the issue,
For bringing it out in the public domain.

Senator hollings?

I've had the opportunity to ah,
Attend a, a showing you might say,
A presentation of ah,
This porn rock as they call it.
In the tested pornography,
One of the things to look at
Is that it does not have any redeeming social value.
Ah, there could be an exception here
Because i haven't attended that presentation.
A redeeming social value,
I find that it's inaudible.
I have a hard time understanding it.
And, paul, since i travelled the country for three years
And they said they couldn't understand me,
Maybe i could make a good rock-star, i don't know.
But in all candour i would tell you it's,
It's outrageous filth.
So i'll be looking from this senator's standpoint
Not just to bring pression,
But to try to see if there is some constitutional provision
To tax, or procedure can be used on the congress
To limit this outrageous filth.

Senator trible?

Rape, incest, it's outrageous filth...
Sexual violence
Now, the effects of such lyrics on a well adjusted child may
Not be cataclysmic
It's outrageous filth!
A lot of the emotional damage is more subtle
Fire and chains and...leather
It's outrageous filth!
Objectionable...

Tools and presentations in some twisted minds...
...effects of such lyrics on a well adjusted child may not be
Cataclysmic...
...porn rock...
A lot of the emotional damage is more subtle
Fire and chains and...leather

This must be the end of the world!
All the people turning into pigs and ponies
I can't let it happen to me!

What is the reason for these hearings...
Sex!
Well...
Sex!
Thank you, i think that statement...
Sex!
...tells the story of these many...
Listen you little slut...
What is the reason for these hearings...
Sex!
Bondage!
Listen you little slut!
Listen you little slut!
Mixture of drugs...
Sex! sex! sex! sex!...

I might be interested to see what toys your kids ever had

Why would you be interested?

Just as a point of interest in this ah...

Well, come on over to the house and i'll show them to you.
Really!

I, i might do that!

Now, the effects of such lyrics on a well adjusted child may
Not be cataclysmic
It's outrageous filth!
A lot of the emotional damage is more subtle
Fire and chains and...leather
It's outrageous filth!
Objectionable...
Tools and presentations in some twisted minds...
...effects of such lyrics on a well adjusted child may not be
Cataclysmic...
...porn rock...
A lot of the emotional damage is more subtle
Fire and chains and...leather

Thank you very much, mr. zappa.
You understand that ah,
The previous witnesses were not asking for legislation
And ah, i don't know,
I can't speak for senator hollings,
But i think that the prevailing view here is
That nobody's asking for legislation.
The question is just focusing
On what a lot of people could feel that could be a problem.
And you've indicated that you at least understand
That there is another point of view.
Really nearly over the year...

Senator gore?

Thank you very much, ah, mister chairman.
I found your statement very interesting and,
Ah let me say although i disagree with
Some of the statements that you make,
And have made on other occasions
- i have been a fan of your music, believe it or not -
And i, i ah respect you as a true original and,
And ah tremendously talented musician.

Wait a minute!
Maybe i could make a good rock-star, i don't know
Comics, comics, comics daddy!
Maybe i could make a good rock-star, i don't know
Comics, comics daddy!
Maybe i could make a good rock-star, i don't know
Comics, comics, comics daddy!

They don't even understand their music...
Of course nobody does, but ah...
They don't, they don't even know what they're doing
No!
I've, i've seen 'em a couple of times...
Did you, did you see their uniforms?
Unbelievable!
Which ones? they're the red ones?
All those rhinestones of their rings and things like that
Do you know what i...
Golden may hoof-covers
Unbelievable!

Maybe i could make a good rock-star!
Gonna drive my love inside you!
Etc...
It's outrageous filth!
Comics daddy!
Etc...
Rock, rock, porn rock!
Etc...

And i think your suggestion is a good one
If you pledge those words.
That would go a long way for...
All we have to do is find out how it's gonna be paid for...

Pyromania!
No question!
Burn the building!
Burn! burn! burn!
Yeah!

If i could find some way constitutionally to do away with it i would!

This issue is too hot...

So i'll be looking from this senator's standpoint
Not just to bring pression,
But to try to see if there is some constitutional provision
To tax, or procedure can be used on the congress
To limit this outrageous filth.
Yeah!

We'll get back to de whimp
And his low-budget conceptium of personal freedom
In just a moment.
But foist, welcome to:
What de fuck gwine on here?
A celebratium o' de american way o' life!

Ugly as i mights be,

Ain't that right, sister ob'dewlla?
Hmm hmm! oh, oh yeah! thass right!

Senator gorton?

Mr. zappa, i ah, am astounded at the ah,
Courtesy and soft-voiced ah,
Nature of the comments of my friend
The senator from tennessee.
I can only say that i find your statement
To be boorish, ah, incredibly and ah,
Insensitively insulting the people who were here previously.
That you could manage
To get the first amendment
Of the constitution of the united states
A bad name - if i doubt that you have the slightest
Understanding of it - which i do not,
And have the slightest understanding of the difference between
Government action and private action.
And ah, you have certainly destroyed any case
You might otherwise have had with this senator.
Thank you mr. chairman.

Is this private action?

I don't think this is constitutional...
The voluntary labelling is not censorship...
Bend up and smell my anal vapor!
The voluntary...voluntary...voluntary...
...is not censorship...
De-de-de-de-degradation...humiliation...
Is this private action?
In chains...
Listen you little slut...
There-there-there...
There's no absolute rock...
There's no absolute rock...
Well... ... bend up and smell my anal vapor!
There-there-there...
There's no... there's no...
Mr. zappa, thank you very much for your testimony.
Thank you.
Next witness is john denver...
