Pom-pom
A pom-pom – also spelled pom-pon, pompom or pompon – is a loose, fluffy, decorative ball or tuft of fibrous material. Pom-poms may come in many colors, sizes, and varieties and are made from a wide array of materials, including wool, cotton, paper, plastic, and occasionally feathers. Pom-poms are shaken by cheerleaders, pom or dance teams, and sports fans during spectator sports. Small decorative pom-poms may be attached to clothing; these are sometimes called toories or bobbles.
Pom-pom is derived from the French word pompon, which refers to a small decorative ball made of fabric or feathers.

Pom pom (album)
pom pom is an album by American singer-songwriter Ariel Pink, which was released on November 17, 2014 by 4AD. It is his first full studio album released as "Ariel Pink" without his band The Haunted Graffiti.
Background
The songs "Jell-O," "Plastic Raincoats In The Pig Parade," "Sexual Athletics," "Exile On Frog Street" and "Nude Beach A Go-Go" were co-written by Kim Fowley, from his hospital bed for Ariel to perform. The album also features vocal contributions from French singer-songwriter Soko; Pink returned the favor by co-writing and guesting on two tracks off Soko's second studio album, My Dreams Dictate My Reality (2015). The track "Nude Beach a Go-Go" was also recorded by American rapper Azealia Banks. A version of the song, produced by Pink, appears on her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste (2014).
The track "Put Your Number in My Phone" was released as the first single off the album on August 9, 2014. The music video for the track was released in September 2014. The music videos for the tracks "Picture Me Gone" and "Dayzed inn Daydreams", both directed by Grant Singer, were released on November 4, 2014 and January 26, 2015, respectively. The latter video stars the Mau-Mau's frontman Rick Wilder.
Hair
She asks me why, I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night, hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low, don't ask me why, don't know
It's not for lack of bread, like the Greatful Dead, darlin'
Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there, hair, shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
Hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow, my hair
Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas, in my hair
A home for fleas, a hive for the buzzing bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, splendor, the wonder of my hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow, my hair
I want long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided
Powered, flowered and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled and spahettied
Oh say, can you see my eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short
Down with here, down to there
Down till there, down to where it's stuck by itself
They'll be ga-ga at the go-go, when they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it, Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son, why don't my mother love me?
Hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow
My hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow
My hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow
My hair
