Takin' You Back
All Frank Zappa - all the time in this week's TYB.
It took me a long time to recognize the genius of Frank Zappa; but after years of listening to people tell me about how great Zappa's music is, I finally understand. In honor of my being won over by his experimental and downright bizarre music: Here's some good Frank Zappa for you.
Frank Zappa - Willie The Pimp - "Twenny dollah bill (I can set you straight) Meet me onna corner boy 'n don't be late." The lyrics in this song are pure gold. Over nine minutes of bluesy guitar, you just can't go wrong with this one. "Willie The Pimp" was originally on Hot Rats, which is a very solid album.
Frank Zappa - My Gun Wants to Kill Your Mama - Don't worry, after nine minutes of Zappa I wouldn't put you through another ten minutes (or would I?). Originally, this one was on 1970's Weasels Ripped My Flesh. It also appears on the compilation Strictly Commercial, which is a good starting point for individuals who do not own any Zappa stuff.
Frank Zappa - Muffin Man - I'm a sucker for voice over introductions on seventies rock albums. Aside from being pretty hilarious, this song kicks out the jams. Nothing like a good guitar solo to get you going. Blast this one at work through your computer speakers to make all of your co-workers think you're a big weirdo.
