IVIV Aunt Reet

[Keith]

Bulee "Slim" Gaillard sings lyrics that will seem totally nonsensical  
& unique, entirely unfamiliar unless you've heard Slim Gaillard  
before, in which case it'll be like a lot of his songs which are  
particularly fun & full of a-rooties & a-vouties.

What he's doing, of course, is taking "hepcat" slang to the next  
stage, fusing it with scat, so that it came off to his audiences as  
more hip than funny.

"Areet" had long been in use as a variant of "Okay" & was just about  
a universal piece of slang at the time; the "voutereenies" were  
Slim's fans, the hippest of the hip. Some of his audience may  
actually have believed they could understand all the words.

"Slim" perhaps the source of the multi-level pun in Zappa's label,

And, in some of his lyrics:

Here I'm is, the ZOMBY WOOF
Tellin' you all the Zomby troof
Here I'm is...
Reety-awrighty, he da ZOMBY WOOF
Reety-awrighty, he da ZOMBY WOOF

They said aw-reety
An' they was aw-righty
An' I was a Zomby for you, little lady...
