    Pompatus
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation, search
    The word pompatus (also spelled pompitous) is used in the lyrics of Steve Miller's 1973 pop-music song "The Joker":

    Some people call me the space cowboy.
    Yeah! Some call me the gangster of love.
    Some people call me Maurice,
    'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love.
    The words "space cowboy" and "gangster of love" are both references to previous Miller songs. The "pompatus" line is also a reference to an earlier song of his, "Enter Maurice," which was recorded the previous year:

    My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice
    so I can whisper sweet words of epismetology
    in your ear and speak to you of the pompatus of love.
    Although Miller claims he invented the word, all of his song-writing shows strong rhythm and blues influences, and a 1954 song called "The Letter" by the Medallions had the lines:

    Oh my darling, let me whisper
    sweet words of pizmotality
    and discuss the puppetutes of love.
    The song was composed by Vernon Green as a description of his dream woman. "Pizmotality described words of such secrecy that they could only be spoken to the one you loved," Green explained. He coined the term puppetutes "to mean a secret paper-doll fantasy figure who would be my everything and bear my children."

    [edit]
    Pompatus in pop culture
    Because of its peculiarity and seemingly-nonsensical usage, the word pompatus has managed to become something of a minor pop-trivia icon. DJ Wolfman Jack frequently referenced the phrase and has a soundclip of him using the line within the song "Clap for the Wolfman" by The Guess Who. A 1996 movie entitled The Pompatus of Love starring Jon Cryer featured four guys discussing a number of assorted topics, including attempting to determine the meaning of the titular phrase. Humor columnist Dave Barry frequently references the song line as a source of comedic value, particularly in his 1997 book, Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs. The line has also been mentioned in various television show gags, including The Simpsons and South Park. At the Gathering of the Juggalos 2004, in Garrettsville, Ohio, the rap group Twiztid played their rendition of the song "Joker" and immediately after the line this word is used in, Jamie Madrox asked "What the **** is a 'pompatus'?" live and on-stage, to much laughter.

    That boy shot his load before 1970. Last good album had "Space Cowboy" on it.

    You have no idea what it's like to be in a flying squadron, surrounded by people that wouldn't know a good piece of music if it bit them in the ****. Then "Fly Like an Eagle" comes on and all the pilots bow before each other and speak in reverant whispers. Absolutely puke-inducing.
