It was written and recorded by The Residents and Snakefinger in October 1977, and was first released on the Duck Stab! EP on February 1st 1978.

== Lyrics ==
 Your life is leaning downhill
 Sloping off the outer edge.
 Your undetermined oyster beds
 Were found to be a hedge.
 You cause the kids of Elmer Fudd
 To feed the farmer whose
 Cadaver's filled with onion rings
 And feet are filled with glue.
 Now Sinister Exaggerator,
 What's your claim to fame?
 Is still your favorite Ferlinghetti
 Found in Auntie Maim?
 Your alter life is superseded
 Only from above.
 Your heart is like a silken sponge
 That calls saliva love.Ima Buddy, Ima Buddy's Totally Impartial Companion to Uncle Willie's Highly Opinionated BIG MAMAS, 1992
