This also comes from an old anti-evolution tract Mark and Jerry found called "Jocko-Homo Heavenbound" by B. H. Shadduck. You can buy this online but it's insanely expensive.
The "are we not men" chant comes from Island of Dr. Moreau, by H.G. Wells, and Island of Lost Souls, the movie. The surgically-evolved animals, now in the forms of men, have a long litany they repeat to keep from reverting into their native, animal state. "What is the law? Not to spill blood, that is the law. Are we not men?" Oingo Boingo used this too, in their song "No Spill Blood."
"Dancing the poot" was an art thing Jerry did in college with a friend, Jim Bubbi. Bubbi was dressed like a luchador and led around on a leash like a dog, as the character "Pootman." Meanwhile Jerry dressed in a hideous leather mask and butcher's jacket as Gorj, "he who is not always thus," kind of a god of depression. Anyway, Gorj would lead Pootman around art exhibits at the school and then point at an exhibit, at which point Pootman would hold his nose and do an "it stinks" dance.

I'm not making that up.
