  ... "Charlie's Enormous..." was originally "Carlie's...", as in Simon, but FZ was afraid he might get sued.

(Kinda young, kinda WOW...)
From: caveman@vnet.ibm.com (Keith Shiner)
  "Kinda young, kinda wow" was the trendy slogan for a fragrance aimed at young women called "Charlie" if I'm not mistaken.
From: fnord@panix.com (Cliff Heller)
  Fuck ME. I remember the Charlie fragrance commercials, but I don't remember kinda young kinda wow. I was real young so I dont doubt it.
  I always suspected that Charlie's Enormous Mouth was a riff on the "Charlie" fragrance because "Charlie" referred to a woman name in both cases. (For the non-English speaking, Charlie is usually a nickname for Charles, a mans name, and rarely used for Charlene or any other female variant).

  In case you hadn't noticed, this connects with "Joe's Garage", specifically, "Catholic Girls".

The girl got a very large nose but it's all white
It once was okay
But she been blowin' it quite a bit
'Course her friends are extra large
  Well, does it mean they could afford an extravagant quantities of cocain or just big fat weenies for Charlie to suck

Charlie's disgusting brain, well, it's all black
The girl got a very dead brain, it won't come back
She used to convey
From: Cliff Heller <fnord@panix.com>
  Since we're talking about her dead brain, the implication is that she used to make sense, be lucid, ie convey her ideas. I never realized this was the lyric, it's an odd use of the term but it fits the meter well and gives it a poetic quality.

But then she took an extra hit
From: Evil Bob <evilbob@tbag.tscs.com>
  In other words, she took an extra dose of cocaine.
