Frank Zappa Lyrics

@billysapp5582

Honestly me too

@dinorockwell3196

I’m use to it

@JohnAmoss

The photo is of Miss Christine Frka who is freakishly peeking out of an empty lily pond at the infamous Errol Flynn Estate in Hollywood Hills. Christine Frka was originally hired as a nanny for Frank Zappa’s children Dweezil and Moon Unit, but she was also a member of the notorious Sunset Strip groupie group GTO with Pamela Des Barres. Miss Christine died of a heroin overdose in 1972 shortly after she had spent close to a year in a full body cast to correct her crooked spine. She was 23 years of age.

@jimfritz2087

An old roommate of mine had this album. We loved it . Eventually all the neighbors did too .

@donreid6399

Bwaa haa haa! I'll just bet they did! 🙂

@jimfritz2087

@donreid6399  Yea. It took awhile . We had quite a mix of albums back then .

@user-go5hv6dg3d

Our neighbors were hearing this mixed in with deicide and morbid angel.. lovely evening of music

@NLite486

Zappa deadass shoved as many quotable riffs in here as humanly possible

@Skrapeg0at

The genius of Frank Zappa. Extremely difficult music to play, while being so easy to listen to. Love it!

@frankpantsOU812

One of the best and most recognizable Zappa songs ever, one of his signature tunes. It's in my top five for sure. Great mix. The visual is awesome. I listened to this at 9am. It made my day. I really miss going to Zappa concerts, what an event those were. My bud and I saw FZ every time he came to Cleveland Oh. from 1974 on. My friend would go to the shows with a "Suzy Creamcheese" blow up doll on his shoulders the whole time. She ended up on stage once, hilarity ensued. RIP FZ.

@claudegagnon999

Lucky man I saw him ounce in Montreal last century, can you believe how time flies? Those peaches are a "régal" as we say in French. Give my regard to Cleveland which I visited a few years ago and attended a concert of your very good Symphony Orchestra. Good vibes in your pretty city, God Bless!

@dannylgriffin

Great story. I saw FZ three times in Chicago in the 70's. Fantastic! Once I had front row seats.

@grokeffer6226

I got to see him twice when I was a kid/young dude. If you get a chance to see Dweezil you should go. He does his Daddy proud. I've seen Dweezil twice, too.

@carlgreene2378

Cleveland Public Auditorium 1974 With Ruth, George, Ike and Napoleon.

@british_sports_car

Brilliant story. I was born in the wrong time. Suzy Creamcheese sounds amazing hahahaha

@josejalaeno73

This song makes me feel like I just finished in first place in Mario Kart

@uncleernie7949

hahaha

@K1Nd0m

definitely hear that, totally sounds like something from mario kart and i love it

@benjaxd8892

absolutely!

@MeissnerEffect

You did my friend. By listening to this song you did! Congratulations 🎉😊

@randydaytona5615

A truly funny comment 👏🏼

@rcjinAZ

Probably my favorite Zappa composition.

@jasonvancura2139

It's my favorite Frank Zappa song. I like the way the chords change.

@Mytubecleaner

Probably the most satisfying 3 minutes in music history

@gxbrxxl9626

fav zappa song, it just gets better and better

@jasonvancura2139

Mine too!

@alancumming6407

It is a thing of great beauty. It never loses its impact.

@webnation212

The Madison Square Garden organist would play this during breaks of New York Ranger hockey games. I'm sure a good part of the crowd had no idea what they were listening to. Very surreal.

@user-hj4wm9dd4z

That is a great story ! Hockey and Zappa ! There has to be a Zamboni joke somewhere thank you

@alancumming6407

That cheered me up. Great anecdote.

@ruthdixon7807

a beautiful instrumental number described by zappa as "probably the ultimate across the board frank zappa song of all time. it's the only thing I've never heard anybody say they didn't like."

@DanzTripss

The first song of many of us... a pearl, a classic, music is the best!

@Mordock999

I swear but this song could be used as a national anthem for some countries.

@sh230968

So now I have to make my own country. You just pointed out something that makes sense and I will have to do all the work. Nevermind, I am going ahead.

@PrimitiveInTheExtreme

A piece of history, track and album 🤘

@genesbeans

The first song, introducing a wonderland of music.

@thespudguy

A beautiful assortment of intensely nuanced rythm. Epic 🤟

@robmcrob2091

Frivolous, whimsical, uplifting, strangely melancholic, flamboyant, jazzy, inventive, completely, completely completely bonkers and 100% Frank Zappa.

More Zappa thsn goatees and moustaches.

Wonderful.

@alancumming6407

It is awesome in the true sense of the word.

@chuckpotockimusic2288

Finally using the original 1969 mix without a vinyl rip! I don't know what FZ was thinking with that crappy 1987 remix for the Rykodisc CD, but it ruined it. This restores it to its' original glory!

@eXiLe824

I went and listened to the 1987 Rykodisc mix and you're right this one sounds much better. Crisper, jazzier and more (ironically) psychedelic. I think by 1987 Zappa had clearly been designated a rock artist and so that's how they mixed him for CD, but it leaves out so much from the song that you get to hear with the original 1969 mix.

@davidlarson7789

There is more music in this than the last 10 songs I heard on the radio put together 🤔

@1582len

I’ve loved this song since the 20th century.

@theholidaylady1

My high school are teacher bought me this album as a gift! She changed my life for the better with that album! 🥰

@yonikeshet7629

My favourite song for more than 30 years. R.I.P Zappa, one of the greatest musicians of all times

Heard on Coast to Coast bumper music last night. Tracked it down. Such a feel good song...

@zegermanscientist2667

If you had to choose one song to show someone the capabilities of Frank Zappa, this is the one. Unique craftsmanship, beautiful with a streak of his signature nuttyness.

@Cpt_Natalia

This sounds like something from a DS era Pokémon game

@attiliolestingi2651

Sicuramente uno dei pezzi musicali più interessanti di questo grandissimo artista.

@lauriemalek9685

So I'm sitting here listening to this and I don't know what this is but you know what it's making me smile ‼️💯

@NN-ul4oy

"Visualizer"... a cheap UMG thrill.
Music of FZ great of course.

@putridabomination

True

@Hermes1548

Yes!

@tateeee819

best masterpiece ever

@bh-zj4yt

Left us too soon, 30 years ago today…..RIP FZ. What a Legacy!!

@deadmetal8692

Classic! I used to love it when Phish covered it back in the day.

@FLASHMATT01

A song I never been tired to play on drums just like the Last tango in Paris soundtrack or Heart of the sunrise by Yes... pure magical musical wisdom, a true big band piece...

@jeanpierresanchez8707

DIVINE!

@user-hj4wm9dd4z

Had to listen . If it is not , It should be his signature song ! Well second thought "Joe s Garage" !

@jamesandgames623

Zappa Plays Zappa with Steve Vai does a killer version as well!. Genius!.

@chuckpotockimusic2288

I agree. But unfortunately, the Zappa Family Trust as it is now will not allow Dweezil to use the "Zappa Plays Zappa" banner on his tours for "legal" reasons....yet he's the oldest of FZ's children...🤔🙄

@Frdnnd

Help, i can't get away from this song.

@Hartlor_Tayley

Sounds good. Classic.

@Thomas_Anderson001

El genio de FZ. Para mi el mejor guitarrista del universo.

@TrollOverBeethoven

I don't even know what language that is but I know exactly what you said

@zapphoddbubbahbrox5681

that's a great mix.. don't recall it being this way, exactly.

@Ernthir

I don't know I guess I have to get used to it. But to me it sounds kinda off.

@TheSteelDialga

Youtube's compression maybe?

@chuckpotockimusic2288

This is the original 1969 mix, which is head and shoulders better than the god awful 1987 mix that FZ approved for the Rykodisc reissue

@zapphoddbubbahbrox5681

@@chuckpotockimusic2288 ah! So I'm not crazy. Seems much more dynamic, perhaps down to the mix but I think there's more going on. Thanks for the clarification!

@RudiC

@@zapphoddbubbahbrox5681 you can hear the piano at 2:35 now... You really couldn't in the 1987 remix for CDs.

I love the part at 1:46! Such a great part of the song.

Dość dawno temu mój ojciec przywiózł mi z NRF; tak wówczas nazywano ten kraj; audio kasetę, a która to zawierała między innymi dzieło muzyczne stworzone przez Franka Zappę, mojego idola od lat mojej młodości. Ale cóż, młodość nie wieczność. Pozdrawiam z Warszawy, z Polski

@therealsoulproduct

I'm surprised the first section of this song was never sampled into a Hip-Hop break beat. Or at least I don't know of it ever has.

@p165711

Hard to blv he's been on his Heavenly mystery tour for almost 30 years. No new material though Frank.

@chuckpotockimusic2288

That has everything to do with the current state of the Zappa Family Trust, which is now in the hands of his youngest children Ahmet and Moon Unit. Dweezil, for reasons unknown, was cut out. Now he legally cannot call his band and tours "Zappa Plays Zappa' even though he IS a Zappa, and the eldest, no less. I can't quite figure that one out...😕😖

@CoreyLippin

The theme to some freakshow at a circus

@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017

I remember listening to this a week next Tuesday, and was most inclined to express the perfectly legitimate opinion that this little ditty : "Rocks my effing world, mrs!!"
the postman, delivering a month's supply of vitamin D supplements , proclaimed : " Oh yes indeed, tis most jolly spiffing and positively enhancing to one's endorphins . . . and I'm sure the dolphins love it too! "

True story!

@russellharris9503

Is this an alternative mix? I don't recall hearing the bass and drum like this before?

@facufacufa

The bass has less depth, the drums sound rawer and some details sound at lower volume and others at higher volume. I like it, but it's strange

@chuckpotockimusic2288

It's not an alternative mix, it's the original 1969 mix remastered. People have been used to hearing this in the crappy 1987 remix that FZ himself authorized for reissue on Rykodisc. Not sure what he was thinking on that one, TBH...

@MrsCairns-hg2su

I always think it's such a great shame that Frank Zappa, a hyper-talented musician, composer, arranger, et al, did not make the majority of his body of work (which is massive) sound like this. I cannot help feeling that Mr. Zappa wasted his talent and time on all those ridiculous, novelty simplifications. Even Wille the Pimp is a symphonic expedition, compared with "Joe's Garage". Sigh. When he was alive, I begged Mr. Zappa to be more Hot Rats. Unsurprisingly, to no avail.
I'll bet every Zappa fan disagrees but then, that's life.

@alancumming6407

I can't speak for anyone else but I disagree with you, partly for the contradictory nature of your post.
