What's your favorite Zappa 'talking' song?

I gotta say Uncle Meat "If we'd all be livin' in Ca." To this day my
friend & I still use the "I'll tell ya for sure" line.

My second would be from Lost Episodes "have a bun" line.

thanz,
Y.W.

On that basis I'd have to go for the "Yellow Snow" to "St. Alphonzo"
seque because my friends and I still go trudging across the tundra fo
mile after mile - usually chasing model aircraft and/or heading for a pub.

Mine would be Dummy Up and the "Trust me" line.

I do not know if this qualifies as "talking song" but I really enjoy
the part of Mudd Club where Frank goes into his monologue. It also
taught me a new word at that time; terpsichorean.

There are so many it's hard to count. Go here:

Sometimes the site is slow. Give it time.

Just listening to this one.

Nice groovy rhythm. And love those crash cymbals.

Does "Geneva Farewell" count?

If not, I'd say "German Lunch".
