What does "Peaches en regalia" means?
Federico Platania
I was wondering about the meaning of the title "Peaches en regalia"
(which is, by the way, one of my favourite FZ songs).
"Peaches" is english for "downy juicy fruits with sweet yellowish or
whitish flesh". And that's ok.
"en" has quite the same meaning wether it's french ("at") or spanish
("in").
"regalia" is italian and it means "present", "gift". But, more
precisely, a "regalia" is a gift from a person who is higher in a
hierarchical grade to a person who is lower (i.e.: from a boss to a
employee).
All in all, "Peaches en regalia" could mean "Peaches for free".
Is this correct?

Tits. It probably has something to do with tits.
Tits have been called "peaches" by some people on occasion. As
in the song lyric, "I really love your peaches let me shake your
tree."
One definition of "regalia" is fine or decorative clothing.
So, "peaches en regalia" could mean "tits in fine or decorative
clothing".
Perhaps a stylish brassiere. Or the pasties or tassels worn by a
stripper.

In full regalia, I take to mean "all decked out", ie. to be dressed in full
regalia is putting on your best clothes.

That is the correct meaning. Peaches dressed to kill.

Methinks there's also a possible double entendre in this title. Peaches
is also a euphemism for sex/sexual organs, esp. those of the female of
the species ("If you don't like me peaches / Stop shakin' my tree").
Peaches en regalia _might_ also suggest pussy in all its glory.

ideas back in the stoneages was quite similar, actually.
"Hot Rats" with -Peaches was my first confrontation with the Zappa. I
was a tiny little weenie back then, around 11. I used to think of
"Peaches" in the music as something fresh and desireable. It was also,
indeed, a brand new fruit on the market. Realizing Zappa was a nasty
boy, I figured out he musta had both tits and butts in mind.
"Regalia", on the other hand, I thought was something overtly pompous
that the english royal family was wearing. A long cape draped with
pearls and diamonds. The regalia was the slower parts, the intro, the
daaa daaa daaa thing, very royal. The "Peaches" was the fast part, the
di-di-di-di tra la la thing...
I got weird images, but they were positive. It's a very optimistic and
cheerish piece.
Cheers from Geir.

Very good and very bad at the same time. I was food poisoned four days
ago and got diarrea. But I have found something really nice that
weights up for that. And how and who are you? The weather is good this
weekend. I'm off to fishing.

"Regalia" is like a fancy get-up, often accompanied by the adjective "full". So in "full regalia" would be like a "full dress parade uniform" or similar. So "en" (which in French is actually "in" as well) would mean 'in the full fancy outfit"-dressed to the nines,so to speak- or with all the accoutrements of say, medallions, sashes,ribbons, all the accessories e.g. various gee-gaws, epaulets, buttons, bows, fringes, jewellery, etc.- well you get the idea.
"Peaches" I would assume, is a pet name for one of Frank's, or Capt. Beefheart's possibly, female acquaintances. (The Captain had a song called "Peaches" on one of his own early 70's albums,btw).
I wouldn't be surprised if he gave Frank some lyrical or title ideas on most of "Hot Rats", not just "Willie the Pimp".

Peaches en Regalia is celebratory referring to a person being dressed to the nines and feeling good about ones self, life, relationship, situation ...
I recall a maternity shop (both for expectant mother's and the soon to be or recent infants) in Southern California named " Peaches en Regalia" it was lovely and you wanted to shop there.
That's only my opinion ...

dress accessories, so "Peaches on Regalia" might reasonably stretched to
mean the sort of elaborate peach-based desert dish that might be served
at the end of a formal banquet.
Anyhow, thats how I've always read it.
