I can only explain it how it was explained to me. Frank Zappa hid the absolute genius of the music under a veil of comedy and if you can't see past the juvinile lyrics enough to hear what was underneath Frank didn't care because you wern't going to understand it anyway. Filthy Frank was continuously pushing boundries and flying a giant middle finger to Hollywood and the LA Record industry scene of the 70's and 80's.+

Gotta do Montana!!! So good! the yellow snow suite! For more fun stuff from him. He fought for all of our free speech

Please! Teddy Swims, "Use me up" , or "I can't make you love me"

Frank has One Hundred Albums is an Excellent Guitar Player and Composer 'Certified Conductor' commenter TonyMollick right about lyric's! TeenAger SteveVai was in the Band played a bicycle wheel on SteveAllenShow in 1963 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6xgg7yCna-zfGg.html 'NO' single song gets Frank's depth! I Love " BLACK NAPKINS" and "MY GUITAR WANTS TO KILL YER MAMA" Please Please keep rolling with 'FZ' !!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's satire.

Spot on

the melody, orchestration and rhythm tho

Frank had more smarts in his upper chamber than most of us. What he did and said was always with intend and he knew what he said when he said it, or sung it for that matter. Anyone remember how he burned John Lofton (Washington Times) to the ground in Crossfire in 1986? Man... you could easily tell he had way more brains than all of them put together. The Crossfire debate is still on youtube for anyone wondering.

I wish Jamal understood

Oozing out from your TV set. 😎

That song is very important

Absolutely. See also: "Uncle Remus."

(blush) I was driving one day with all four windows down and stopped at a red light in the middle of a small town with "I am the Slime" playing (loudly) on my car's CD player. I know that song by heart and was really "into" it sitting at that red light, reciting the lyrics right along with Mr. Zappa. When I turned my head to the right I noticed a car was sitting beside me at the light. I never missed a beat, but it was difficult not to break out laughing... The couple in the front seat and their back-seat full of teen age kids got a serenade they weren't expecting from Mr. Zappa and I and all I remember seeing was people's jaws dropped and their mouths open in shock. :D

@@JustMe-vk4fn I guess I disagree with your name because I've done that to several carloads while blasting out FZ tunes lol Gotta admit it is fun. Thanks for reminding me of those memories!

+1,i bought the album a few times.

I bout Sheik Yerobuti the day it came out and went to the Zappa tour in support of the album at Johnson gym a few weeks later.

@Zolar Czakl I bought the album along with a a Joe Cocker Album, Willie Nelson's Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain and a John Prine Album at a record store across the street from UNM. I saw Zappa at Johnson Gym must have been 80 or 81 and only a few months later on a Joe's Garage tour in the same venue. a year or 2 later I went to party at the Ramada Inn with members of Missing Persons Band many of whom were in Zappa's band. That would be 82 or 83. Because I moved to Las Cruces in early 84.

100% agree

I like Zoot Allures best.

He claimed he was a victim of the moral majority.

He fought Tipper Gore and the whole parental advisory propaganda as hard and as passionately as he could.

Frank would have hated the social media oligarchs with their Chinese style algorithmic repression of free speech to protect the corrupt establishment..

@@mmmegameat If he came back to life today he’d probably jump back into his coffin.

@@mmmegameat lol stfu nerd. Zappa would be more concerned about border internment camps in the US and Uyghur re-education camps in China than private companies enforcing their terms of service however they see fit. Frank was consistently pro-private property and pro-market and pro-corporate. He'd be horrified with how Trump's big government was forcing media company owners to testify in front of a bunch of republican bureaucrats

Yessss, Titties n Beer.

Eternally!

Oh, just you wait. 😆

No, it was the dawn of Gay Liberation and Frank wasn't afraid to voice his opinion about anything he felt was a form of "overindulgence" so to speak. There was no one safe from him. Let's just say, this song wasn't well received by the ACT UP crowd.

Good night Austin, Texas wherever you are!

@@christelheadington1136 : Bobby Brown is about these three jocks who came to a meeting with Zappa and brought these three girls to try to impress them. They were fake sucking up to feminism, just so they could get laid. This was a standard tactic that sleezebags tried to pull back then. I remember it all too well myself, but mostly we just laughed at them.

Agreed! Can't take it in parts. You gotta know what Joe is going through. It's funny his music can put you off if you only listen to the words. You have to feel it. He will be blown away after Bobby Brown to hear something like Watermelon in Easter Hay! It's not all silly. Sometimes your soul cries.

It's actually 1974, and part of a whole suite of shorter songs including Don't Eat The Yellow Snow (EDIT: my mistake--I just saw last comment. That date is the release of the "Sheik Yerbouti" album, that Bobby Brown was on.)

The ironic part was, Frank Zappa testified against censorship in front of the PMRC hearings, but of all the so-called filthy songs they were out to get, none of his made the list. Lol

@@joeday4293 Because other than Valley Girl, Frank was not top 40.

@@mikemaricle9941 I wish I could find his slam on country music, which I think took place during his testimony. He couldn't understand how come they were going after rock music, when country music was almost exclusively songs about infidelity and drinking, "often made by people who not only have been to prison, but are proud of it." 😆

@@joeday4293 The first album they wanted to sticker was Frank's "Jazz From Hell", which was all instrumentals(!). They didn't like the album title and a track titled "G-Spot Tornado". It must've really pissed them off when the album won the Best Instrumental Rock Performance Grammy in 1988.

It's also a very accurate song about incompetent contractors doing work in your home, plumbers especially. Believe me, I know from experience, on the other side of the continent from California and much more recently. Some things never change. This country has an epidemic of FLAKES.

Wow that may be my favorite of all time from Frank.

For drummers ... The Black Page. There is video of them performing it.

Frank also invented his own way of conducting the band, and his own book of jargon. According to his autobiography, the term for aimlessly noodling on your instrument was "spoo." It translates to "you are masturbating on your instrument, and you will stop it right now."

Could shit zappa play guitar with his ugly nose? 🤣

This is a great place to start. A more accessible entry into some of the more musically interesting pieces. Especially Inca Roads, it's a masterpiece and shows off the composer and musician that Frank was.

The recall that, musicians back fought back against censorship and banning, not like the spinless "musicians" of today, who incentive for censorship of other artist, which i think are the pure scumbags and hope the fascist rhetoric bites them in ass, hope it's painful.

Yes, ppl used to slowdance to this song in Norway, where English isn't the main language, so they didn't know what the lyric's was about‼️I was a bit shocked about the lyric's, when I was listening to the song as an adult ‼️

Zappa was filth

It was, I grew up listening to it without having any idea what it was about. In my 20’s I moved to the US, and when I heard this song again after many years, I understood all of it, and my brain almost exploded 🤣

Willie the Pimp

Shuggie Otis, another musical genius played bass on P and R. I think he was around 16 years old. He was Prince before Prince.

Peaches En Regalia is one of the more pleasant to listen to songs ever

"Five Five Five"

Raisin' it up, waxin' it down...

Those songs have fantastic music too.

All of the above.

Yup. I especially like Moving to Montana.

​@@lostwithlobes1410 good memories

I couldn't agree more! This is a track that can wow even "Zappa Critics". Definitely a masterpiece .

Lived on Stanley hills drive. I lived there for a couple of months back in the early 70,s while being a roadie for a band from Chicago.

Trouble every day might very well be the first foray into rap...

Actually, he was born in Baltimore and moved around a lot (his dad worked for the government in the chemical weapons area). He moved to the AV during his High School years and graduated from AVHS. He did a semester at the community College (AVC), then moved down to the Los Angeles area.

Its album "Jazz From Hell" won a Grammy in 88.

There are 2 versions. All acoustic, or all digital. "Jazz from Hell" album. Or "Yellow Shark".

There’s another instrumental I like. It’s called “I promise not to cum in your mouth”.

There is one with an orchestra too, with modern dancers. Amazing.

G Spot Tornado - one of my all time favorites, yes... Have you ever seen the video of the dance performance?
