A Token of My Extreme

"A Token of My Extreme", by Frank Zappa, is a song on the 1979 concept album Joe's Garage Acts II & III.

The main character from this triple-album rock-opera has his mind messed-up by Lucille then "finally does something smart" and "pays a lot of money to L. Ron Hoover and the First Church of Appliantology.

[1][2] Joe, doubting his sanity, asks 'mystical advisor' L. Ron Hoover what his problem is and is told that he is "a latent appliance-fetishist."

"The Closet" turns out to be a bar in Los Angeles, where he can have "a lot of fun" achieving sexual gratification using machines.

Joe is informed that the best appliances speak foreign languages, which leads to the next song, "Stick It Out".
