"Cheepnis" is a song by Frank Zappa and The Mothers, which is a tribute to low-budget monster movies. The song first appeared on Zappa's 1974 live album Roxy & Elsewhere.
On the Roxy recording Zappa introduces the song with a spoken monologue about his love of the 1956 film It Conquered The World and horror movies in general. Zappa also says that "cheapness, in the case of a monster movie, has nothing to do with the budget of the film, although it helps".
