Dillons of Kansas and Frank Zappa on the USO

Our Local Dillons grocery stores, recently modified to mega marts, are having a special promotion and fundraiser for the USO. For those who forget, the USO is a support group for US troops while they are at war destroying small poor countries for our economic benefit. Today that seems to be a permanent status. The group has been known in the past for providing entertainment, including dances with girls who are recruited to “entertain” our troops when they are not out fighting to defend our empire. The group goes back far enough that Frank Zappa wrote a song about it in the 1970s called Would You Go All The Way?



Dillons is owned by the Kroger Company which has come up with this snappy slogan;

Let’s Go Krogering…for the USO!






The song does a good job of satirizing those who jeopardize their respectability for our conquering heroes over seas. This video has the entire album this song comes from called Chunga's Revenge. The song is towards the back of the album. For those who just want to know the lyrics, they are posted below the video. -សតិវ អតុ

Frank Zappa-- Would You Go All The Way?



The night she went to the show.
a monster movie.

Clutchin at your hand.
wait ten seconds
Clutchin at your arm.
wait ten seconds
Clutchin at your elbow.
wait ten seconds
Where did your bra*siere go?

The monster came out
Everybody shout.
People all around you
Screaming at the monster
The monster from the USO.

Who is this dude with his hair straight back
His new white socks, And his pants all black, His tee shirt rolled,
His watch is gold,
A '55 Chevy that his brother just sold.

With his arm around your waist
And his hand is in your pants
And he asks you for a date
To the servicemans dance.

Suppose you don't wanna.
What can you do?
With a joker like that
Got his hands on you?
Oh baby
T-t-t-tell me, baby

Would you go all the way,
for the USO?
Would you go all the way,
for the USA?
Would you go all the way,
for the USO?


Lift up your dress if the answer is no!

Would you go all the way,
for the USA?
Would you go all the way,
for the USA?
Would you go all the way,
for the USA?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way,
for the USA?
Would you go all the way,
for the USA?
Would you go all the way,
for the USA?


Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
Would you go all the way?
