vakkotaurIn this post Wil Wheaton relates some of the strangeness that was Dr. Gene Scott. While I didn't see him on UHF TV in L.A. I did see him on C-band satellite where he was just as strange.
Gene Scott was allegedly a TV preacher, though when thinking it over it's hard to say if he really was a TV preacher or a parody of a TV preacher - or maybe both. He would seem to sit in a chair for hours and ramble on about whatever struck him at the moment. Sometimes he'd have some tune played. This tune might be something you'd expect. But it could just as easily be something you wouldn't expect, such as Kill Some Piss-ants for Jesus (So help me, I am not making that up). He might, when the tune was over, talk about it, or talk about anything else, or just have it played again. And again.
I forget if he ever took callers or if he only dealt with letters, but one response to a critic stands out. The critic stated that Gene was fleecing his followers. His reply was something like, "That's what a shepherd does with a flock."

Kill some pissants for Jesus. Grind ‘em right through the floor.
Kill some pissants for Jesus and then kill one pissant more.
Be sure to give God the glory for knowledge that sets spirits free.
Kill some pissants for Jesus then kill some pissants for me.
A giant is easy to spot in a fight. The roar of a lion will muster your might.
The challenge of mountains that loom into view will bring forth raw
courage from me and from you.
But those little pissants will crawl up your thigh and then without
warning will bite you real high.
Remember small foxes can spoil a good vine, so stop hard and be
so inclined to--
Kill some pissants for Jesus. Grind ‘em right through the floor.
Kill some pissants for Jesus and then kill one pissant more.
Be sure to give God the glory for knowledge that sets spirits free.
Kill some pissants for Jesus then kill some pissants for me.
