"I'm the Slime" is a 1973 single by Frank Zappa and The Mothers from the studio album Over-Nite Sensation.

Live recordings of the song can be found on Zappa in New York and You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol.

[1] For the recording of this song (and most of the Overnite Sensation LP), Zappa used Ike & Tina Turner's Bolic Sound studios in Inglewood.

Tina Turner and the Ikettes sang backup vocals for various songs on Over-Nite Sensation including "I'm the Slime".

[3] Zappa performed "I'm the Slime", as well as "Purple Lagoon", and "Peaches en Regalia" in his first of two appearances on Saturday Night Live.

NBC announcer Don Pardo was utilized for his distinctive delivery for the second movement (or B section) of "I'm the Slime".

It was released on transparent green vinyl, highlighted with blue smoke lines, limited to a run of 3000 copies worldwide.
