Track listing

1. "One Of Them"

The Weatherman declares that he is homosexual and exhorts gay listeners to come out on the air. Sound clips from films, songs including Jim Stafford's "My Girl Bill", the 1971 film Little Murders, anti-gay sermons and stand-up comedy with gay themes are heard in the background.

1. "The Clorox Cowboy"

Using his "Crystal Microphone" and accompanied by Todd Rundgren's song "International Feel", the Weatherman identifies himself as the "Clorox Cowboy" and gives advice about cleaning and electronic repair, with particular focus on doorbell transformers. Samples include Curtis Hoard's "Centipede" and Ennio Morricone's "Humanity".
