4. Wow, thanks for that link!

I remember seeing that years ago... "...and I'm a smelly, unpopular musician." This was a brilliant little moment... too bad I can't hear the sound on YouTube on my home Mac. Guess I'll have to watch at work.

8. Fave Zappa lyrics?

Mine are:

She had a snake for a pet, and an amulet, and she was breeding a dwarf, but she wasn't done yet...

and

While your children are sleeping, your puppy is crapping...

and

With a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma...

It goes on forever.

17. Let's see...

They live in a ho-ho-ho-ho-hooooole (tiny hole)
that is usually empty (usually empty)
Tiny too

They live by a co-co-co-co-cooooode (dit-dit dit-dit dit-dit)
that is usually SIMPTE
which stands for Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers

And...

I'm a moron and this is my wife
She's frosting a cake with a paper knife
All that we got here's American-made
It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed
Well, we don't get excited when it crumbles and breaks
We just get on the phone 'n' call up some Flakes
They rush on over 'n' wreck it some more
And we are so DUMB they're linin' up at our door

Well, the toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon
The plumber, he said, 'Never flush a tampoon'
This great information cost me half a week's pay
And the toilet blew up later on the next day-ay-ay

And...

I might be movin' out to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of... dental floss

And...

Deliver string beans to Utah tonight (Giddyup!)
I'd better go fast or they won't be all right
Deliver string beans to Utah tonight
Donny 'n' Marie can both take a bite (Bite it, Marie!)

11. Giant WooHoo here!!!

:rofl: Frank Zappa wrote some of the funniest songs I've ever heard. And his political statements like "I Don't Wanna Get Drafted" are great! Damn, what a genius! He died way too soon. :cry:

[Initech]

12. Huge, huge Zappa fan here!

[Zomby Woof]

13. Great googly moogly!

Part of my Great Trinity of Rock (or classical in some cases).

Unbind your mind, there is no time!

21. Music is the best!

[hatrack]

23. I asked myself, 'What about the other people in the world . . .

. . . who might appreciate the melody of the Black Page but couldn't approach its . . . statistical density.'

24. Saw him many times live. Bril!

[4morewars]

25. Weasels Ripped My Flesh

Zappa's ode the the record industry.

[spacelady]

26. My husband's favorite musician - he (my spouse) kinda looks like him too.

Zappa died way too young. I also thought Leon Redbone was Zappa in disguise. I am way too imaginative for my own good.

[cboy4]

27. WooHoo!

:bounce:

[jonnyblitz]

1979(or so), Portland, Maine. I didn't really listen to him much but went with friends. it was a nice surprise.

32. Fox News theme song.

I'm the Slime

I am gross and perverted
Im obsessed n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you cant look away
I make you think Im delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin out
From your tv set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we dont need you
Dont got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

Thats right, folks..
Dont touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin along on your livinroom floor

I am the slime from your video
Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go

[AllegroRondo]

33. Musical genius

his classical stuff is just amazing. He wrote a woodwind quintet called "Times Beach", that has never been performed in its entirety - its too difficult. I've got the sheet music around here somewhere......
