"'''Miss Clit'''", the [[stage name]] and alternative [[persona]] of Shannon Thier (aka "Sheigh Zam") who performs as secretary for [[Blowfly]], the [[stage name]] and alternate [[persona]] of '''Clarence Reid''' (born [[February 14]], [[1945]] in [[Cochran, Georgia]])<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wifwxq95ldhe Allmusic biography]</ref> who was a [[songwriter]] for many hit [[R&B]] acts in the 1960s and 1970s. He has penned songs for the likes of [[K.C. and the Sunshine Band]], [[Gwen McRae]], [[Betty Wright]], and Sam and Dave. He has performed with [[Jello Biafra]], [[Rudy Ray Moore]] (aka Dolemite), [[Fishbone]] and [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] bassist [[Flea]]. His music has been sampled by many rappers, including The [[Jurassic 5]], (whose hit "Quality Control" is backed by the outro from Weird World Of Blowfly), [[Ice Cube]], [[Atmosphere]] and [[Puff Daddy]]. Blowfly is regarded as being the first rapper with his 1965 "Rap Dirty" record, which was re-recorded for disco giants T.K. Records after the smash success of [[Sugar Hill Gang]]'s "Rapper's Delight."<ref>{{cite web|last=Pilmer |first=Michael |url=http://www.blowflymusic.com/bio.html |title=Blowfly Bio |publisher=Blowflymusic.com |date=2006-2009 |accessdate=2009-09-22}}</ref> The notoriety of '''Miss Clit''' stems from her live performances with Blowfly as his personal secretary on his award-winning song "First Black President", in addition to contributing vocal tracks to his [[Alternative Tentacles]]-released "Punk Rock Party" under alternative pseudonym Sheigh Zam!

with "I had a record out in 1980—'When I Become President'—and I had this song ‘First Black President’ and I ended up doing shit with my secretary, Miss Clit—what I called her. After that it was a coincidence that [[President Clinton]] and [[Monica Lewinsky]] did the same shit that I had on my record.

== Information Regarding Most Recent Personification of Miss Clit ==
The "First Black President" song features a verbal duet between rap legend Blowfly & his secretary counterpart, Miss Clit who was "hired" to run Blowfly's daily operations, which entailed permitting a parody of guests such as Mr. Superfly Jackson of the United Pimp's Association and [[Pope John Paul]] to demand repayment from Blowfly for past favors they had done for him in exchange for Blowfly's simulated use of illegal substances such as [[cocaine]] & [[marijuana]]. Although the original voice of Miss Clit was portrayed decades ago, the most recent namesake is Shannon Thier aka "Sheigh Zam", who also contributed as back-up/cheerleading vocals on Blowfly's "[[Punk Rock Party]]" album, which was released on legendary punk label [[Alternative Tentacles]] in 2006,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfly%27s_Punk_Rock_Party|title=Blowfly's Punk Rock Party| publisher=Wikipedia.com| released=September 12, 2006| accessdate=2009-09-22}}</ref> as well as Blowfly's 7" single "F U in the A" produced by DJ Spam of the [[Spam All Stars]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfly_(artist)|title=Blowfly (artist)|publisher=Wikipedia.com|released=2006|accessdate=2009-09-22}}</ref> Additional third-party objective information about Miss Clit can be found on Answers.com regarding vital importance to Blowfly's recent live performances as well as recorded history with Blowfly on "Punk Rock Party". <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/blowfly-s-punk-rock-party-1|title=Album Review: Blowfly's Punk Rock Party| publisher=Answers.com| released=September 12, 2006| accessdate=2009-10-03}}</ref>
