its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Have you met old Slick?
He's slicker than spit
He's slicker than alligator shit
Ask the girls in town and man
they say he's it
That's old Slick
He's lightning-quick
He's slyer than old St. Nick
He'll singe your eyebrows off
with one snap flick of his Bic
That's old Slick
He's finer than frog hair
He'll give you that albacore stare
His voice lies on ya heavy like
New Orleans air
Our man Slick he loves
the Thai Noodles.
Slick he's got him a new ride
He's shiftin' with astroglide
Rolling his Sherman tank
upholstered buffalo hide
He'll steal your heart away
He'll turn a homophobe gay
He'll communicate thoughts no one
ever had the balls to say
He's awful slick
and he loves the Thai noodles
I do believe he said he loves
the Thai noodles
Have you met Old Slick?
He's slicker than spit
He's slicker than alligator shit
Ask the girls in town and man
they say he's it
That's old Slick
He's lightning-quick
He's slyer than old St. Nick
He'll singe your eyebrows off
with one snap flick of his Bic
That's old Slick
He's finer than frog hair
He'll give you that albacore stare
His voice lies on ya heavy like
New Orleans air
Our man Slick he loves
the Thai Noodles.
Slick he's got him a new ride
He's shiftin' with astroglide
Rolling his Sherman tank
upholstered buffalo hide
He'll steal your heart away
He'll turn a homophobe gay
He'll communicate thoughts no one
ever had the balls to say
He's awful slick
and he loves the Thai noodles
I do believe he said he loves
the Thai noodles
Have you met Old Slick?

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
I really didnt like this song at first.......now i love it! Les Claypool does rule!
