I'll give some background, Zappa was doing a show in 1988 and Johnny Cash was supposed to show up and play Ring of Fire with them, but his wife got sick and he couldn't make it. They did the song anyway, and then the rest of the night the whole band threw out different ring of fire/hemorrhoid jokes into several other songs.
