Artist, cartoonist, car-customizer and pinstriper were but a few of his specialties. Growing up in California, surrounded by the surf and hot rod movements of the late '50s, Roth's expansive imagination was set in motion and popular culture would never be the same.
Working closely with Ed Roth, who assumed the nom du disc "Mr. Gasser," Fred Rice carefully selected vocalists and musicians for the recording session. Gary Usher assembled and led the vocal talent, which included Jackie "Robyn" Ward, Chuck Girard, Richard Burns and Darlene Love. And how's this for a guitar line-up: Glen Campbell, Jerry Cole and Howard Roberts! On drums you've the great Hal Blaine. Meanwhile, Cliff Hils anchored the bass position and Leon Russell played piano while Steve Douglas wailed on sax. What a fabulous group of "Weirdos"! The combination of A-list players and a top-notch studio produced a superior-sounding LP, every bit the sonic equal of contemporary recordings from stars like the Super Stocks and the Beach Boys.

Eefen It Don't Go Chrome It
Mr. Gasser & The Weirdos Lyrics
Got a big bad coupe got a gutless wonder
With 400 horses it's got no thunder
I gotta make it go one way or another
Chroming is the way there is no other
Chrome the dipstick chrome the starter
Chrome the fuelpump and go a little harder
Chrome the fan, chrome the fan
Even if it don't go, chrome it
The more i chromed the faster it got
I chromed her all she was reall hot
I drove the whole dang car into the chroming tank
But before i could get out my little coupe sank
Now my movin' groovin' coupe is real crazy, see
With an all chrome driver driving in a chrome machine
Chrome the dipstick chrome the starter
Chrome the fuelpump and chrome the driver
Chrome the fan, chrom the fan
Even if it don't go, chrome it
With 400 horses it's got no thunder
I gotta make it go one way or another
Chroming is the way there is no other
Chrome the dipstick chrome the starter
Chrome the fuelpump and go a little harder
Chrome the fan, chrome the fan
Even if it don't go, chrome it
I chromed her all she was reall hot
I drove the whole dang car into the chroming tank
But before i could get out my little coupe sank
Now my movin' groovin' coupe is real crazy, see
With an all chrome driver driving in a chrome machine
Chrome the dipstick chrome the starter
Chrome the fuelpump and chrome the driver
Chrome the fan, chrom the fan
Even if it don't go, chrome it
