CRAB-GRASS BABY:
Stroke me pompadour, pompaduooor,
pompaduooor, pompaduooor. Stroke me pompadour, father.
Stroke it nicely while I tell you about the problems
I am having with my car an my girlfriend.
Ooo-wo-woo, the white man's burden!

  To put to put to rest the "how did he do that?" thread regarding the voice of the crabgrass baby from "Thing Fish":
  Keyboard Magazine February 1987 page 69-
  Q: Was Francesco the first thing you had done with the Synclavier?
  FZ: No, the first thing I did with the Synclavier is on Thing-Fish. Listen to the "Crabgrass Baby" track, which opens up Act II. The background vocals are a repeated vocal chant with this computer voice singing over it. The computer voice is done with a little card that fits into an IBM computer, and the stereo background vocals were our first attempt at stereo sampling using the mono system.

having with my car an my girlfriend.
Ooo-wo-woo, the white man's burden!
Her and her girlfriend used to go out and booze it up
and
tear up the upholstery;
rip the seats completely out,
and so I got a fifty-six Olds.
About the time I got it running decently,
she got in it and wrecked the trans...
tore it completely up, so I had to get
another Oldsmobile
