No.
You changed the picture, Bonny, so now I'm trying to think of what they had in common.

I changed the picture because the first one wouldn't show up anymore, it is still Presidents of the USA.
She's lump!

Bonny, Plastic People?
Punky, it's a Wah Wah pedal and a Jimi Hendrix model in particular. What kind of noise did he used to make with it?

Fire, Purple Haze, the screaming sounds of airplane motors in the sky, machine gun
and Franki? he could do that too but did a lot of other things too it seems with a whawah pedal
I've read the stories that Frank introduced the wahwah to Hendrix,
does it sound like the noise of the words t'mershi duween to you?
I'm not trying to be thick

I thought I had already given it away, but here's some more. This comes from an interview with Frank where he describes how he used a Wah Wah pedal as
a frequency filter to make slight adjustments to the tone in contrast to others like Hendrix who just rhythmically went up and down with it. That
should have given it away.

things as far afield as
Our Bizarre Relationship
Here Comes the Gear, Lads
Stick It Out
and The Jimmy Carl Black Philosphy Lesson
have all come to mind and been discarded polydigm.
This is my final guess:
Excentrifugal Forz
Geoge Harrison even has a song I Don't Need Your WahWah that has been going thru my head all week thanks to this  
and Bonny, TPOTUSA played here in the last week and one of the dudes from the band came into the store with his gf. I wasn't there but a buddy said
he almost got goofy (: but managaed to maintain himself.

Bonny, you haven't answered my question. Is it Plastic People? [Ladies and Gentlemen, the president of the United States]
Everyone, it's the way in which Zappa referred to the sound that Jimmy Hendrix made with a Wah Wah pedal.

You didn't ask... No it's not Plastic People. Nice guess though.

No. The sound, in words, is the title of the song.

it just occurred to me that Waka Jawaka might work
I wonder if that's something I learned 20 years ago and forgot. If it isn't than I probably didn't.
