Porcelain Boy What does the Primus song Frizzle Fry mean?
Hello all you boys and girls I'd like to take you to the inside world It's quite an irregular place to be But never fear you're safe with me Well, maybe Golden hair of macrame' Against the face that's cut from stone The white porcelain is screaming Ayee Thank God the the boy is not alone I don't believe in Santa Claus I don't belive in spite I have no use for beauty dolls Especially on this night I don't believe in miracles I don't belive in lies I don't belive in hologram
For I am the Frizzle Fry
Andy's painting green again, This time they might take him away When Barrington starts to breathe again It way just take us all away I don't believe in charity I don't believe in sin And if you don't believe in me, We'll play this tune over again I don't believe in pinochle And I don't beleive I'll try I do believe in Captain Crunch
For I am the Frizzle Fry Yes I am the Frizzle Fry.
Great song by the way. I'm a bass player so I obviously have a soft spot for Primus.
Like a lot of Primus' songs, I believe that this is about drug use, probably LSD. The term "Frying" is commonly used to refer to tripping on acid and there are many hints to this throughout the song:
"I'd like to take you to the inside world"
Taking hallucinogens often gives you the feeling that you can see past the surface of the world and underneath into the way that things "really" are. Whether this is true or just a false feeling brought on by the drug, I don't know.
"But never fear you're safe with me. Well, maybe"
Acid trips can be a pleasant and mind expanding experience. However, there's always the chance of having a "bad trip" which can be extremely disturbing and frightening.
"Golden hair of macrame' Against the face that's cut from stone The white porcelain is screaming Ayee"
These are just references to different hallucinations. Seeing faces in stone, wood, etc. is a common hallucination. This is probably linked with the phenomenon known as Pareidolia which can cause people to see similar things even when completely sober.
"Andy's painting green again, This time they might take him away"
Long term heavy use of LSD can cause psychological problems resulting in institutionalisation. This may be a reference to that. There's an outside chance that he's referring to Andy Wahol (painting and LSD references) but I'm not sure. Warhol did a lot of paintings with green backgrounds (Green Car crash, Green Marilyn, etc.).
"When Barrington starts to breathe again"
Barrington Hall was a student housing complex in Berkley, California and Les Claypool (and perhaps other members of Primus - not sure) lived there at one time. The place was famous for some pretty wild parties that were called "Wine Parties" where they'd serve wine punch mixed with LSD.
This line may refer to another common hallucination which is the illusion that the walls are bending in and out in a breathing motion. Alternatively, it may be more metaphoric and just refer to when the next party is on and the people partying "breath" life into the place. I believe that either interpretation is valid.
All the "I don't believe in" lines are a bit harder to fathom. They may refer to the fact that taking LSD give you the feeling that you can see through all of the superficial lies of society or it may refer to the fact that, when coming down from an LSD trip, you often get the feeling that you couldn't care less about anything.

I watch everybody is busy penning here their list of best scary movies. So, somebody has to list the worst ones. So, here is my list.
1. The Exorcist: Yes, of course, this excruciatingly nauseating & painful-to-watch movie undeniably bags the credit of being the stupidest stuff of all time with it’s all vulgar on screen portrayal & funny graphics, let alone the funniest sound effects & morbid rank bad acting. What that puking lollipop girl smeared with some blood stain was doing all the time. Actually the scariest thing about this sh**ingly funny movie is that a whole generation bragged it to be one of the scariest movies of all time, let alone that comment in many other blogs by many spin-head gore-champs that it has clearly stood the taste of time as the scariest one. Yes, of course it has… but as the dumbest, funniest & most nauseating movie of all time.Any doubt? Just slough off from the world of bigotry & ask the rest of the world who made films like Suspiria, Ringu, Ju-on, Monihara & so many else.I think this people, themselves need to be exorcised first and feel the scariest movie ever made for them should have been Casper…lol. Anyway, will anybody please come up and rename The Exorcist as Baby's Shit Out. 2. Halloween: What that funny guy, Mr. Myers, was doing all the time masquerading & busy in meaningless weird activities that led to a stashed slasher for the dunderhead gore champs. An all time stuff of third class fun. Definitely, it needs a great polishing work by some another Carpenter. 3. Storm of the Century: Brainstorming of the century that why some people consider this never ending painful & pointless movie as the scariest. Better f**k up & see The Perfect Storm -a much better & much much more serious stuff. Anyway, sacrificing a child… see Sophie’s Choice & go, get what real life horror is. 4. House of 1000 Corpses: The name must have hinted to the fleapit that had arranged the premier show and some thousand spin-head gore champs who had devoured that shit in that show. Anyway, the name could easily have been ‘1000 corpses & one Zombie’. Give me back my money & time. Anyway, the idea is not also an original, clearly stolen from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 5. The Evil Dead: The director dead, the actors dead, the spot boys dead, the cameraman dead, the light man dead and finally we, the ill fated audience dead. Dead & dead drunk with this soporific, pornographic monstrous movie. Omg, omg! It should have been a Rob Moron movie. 6. Night of the Living Dead: Another all dead and all cock-a-hoop nonsense…a meaningless death orgy. Gosh! Is there nobody worth his salt, who can perish these movies for ever from the history of films & get my crush on him? 7. Carrie: Sissy, even Jim Carrey is scarier than that lunatic, outrageous, socially outcast poor girl. I feel pity for her. This is a mournful movie at its best, depicting how insane the society is to an individual with slightest weirdness that bars the social order. This is a good mediocre film, but describing it as a horror movie is by itself a horror story. 8. Poltergeist: It’s hard to believe that the same man, who gave us the gloom portrayal of Nazi Zeitgeist in Schindler’s List, also gave us this freak, even though as a co-author. This is absolutely a crow film…a crow film…and a crow film. The least u say the better. 9. The Thing: I Just saw this thing wondering why this thing, The Thing, should not be renamed as ‘A Huge Mound of Shit’. When that guy retires and rids us from his carpentry work. This freaky stuff can only attract E.T.s with nuts. Here I go better and read Who Goes There? 10. Candyman: A good Rosy stuff for the porcelain boys & candy perfume girls. Anyway, the idea behind the purported legend of chanting his name is totally copied from the Persian legend Aladdin. Being a film of zero originality, it shud be perished for one single reason…tampering with a beautiful story The Forbidden by Clive Barker. 11.Village of the Damned: A Blog shud be tagged as Blog of the Damned if such a silly stuff finds its place there. Dudes, make one point clear to me. Did all those little human looking creatures brush their eyes with toothpaste by mistake…otherwise how their eyeballs were shining so brightly…really a point to ponder? This might be wrong. Then certainly did they have lights fitted in those cavities…lol. At least they don’t need to use torch lights during load shedding. Can I have one of them & save some money? 12. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Massacre of history of film making, reel after reel relentlessly with its sub-standard bizarre graphic violence & meaningless carnage. If it’s truly based on the notorious Ed Gein, then I’d definitely see either Psycho or Silence of the Lambs… far more superior in all respects. 13. Friday the13th. It may rank the thirteenth, the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth…anywhere but shud never be missed out in any list of twenty worst scary movies of all time, a cliché of sex equaling carnage. 14. A Nightmare on Elm Street: Shit, A Nightmare on Elm…Shit! Being a shitting prototype of the worse Halloween, it seriously puts a question mark on the reputation of Michael Myers being the funniest character of all time… until the emergence of Fred Krueger. It’s a classic example of how a mediocre film maker can transform a superb social subtext for the adolescents into a nonsensical typo of slasher sub genre. 15.The Descent: Again stuff for the gore champs, with portrayal of grotesque humanoids in funny make-up, even make-up of Mountain of Cannibal God was far more superior. The only good thing about the film is that it proves that not only the Americans, but the British may also fall in the same manner, though fewer times.
BTW: I really wonder how on earth these aforesaid movies can sit in the same league with The Shining, Salem’s Lot, Silence of Lambs, Ringu etc…gosh! Anyway, friends how about ranking Cast Away as the sixth best scariest one that really cast a spell on us, a psychological fear of loosing the beloved ones, a fear of getting doomed all of a sudden…a superlative treatment definitely.
