sorry if this comes twice, my original message didn't appear when I
posted it (probably pushed the wrong button ...)
the message was something like:
was FZ the one in the Jabba the Hut costume and was he hopping around
because it didn't have legs?
am I right?

I'd throw Ronald Reagan in, personally.

DENNIS VERSTEEG, C'MON DOWN!
No, OK here's who I had in mind: Gary Kurtz.
Gary Kurtz produced Star Wars in 1977.
But back in 1966 he was production manager for a film called Queen Of
Blood, for which Frank recorded the song "Space Boy."
Now, there are a lot of details I don't know about this song yet, so I
thought I'd take this opportunity to ask you pros what you might know
about it. Apparantly the production involved the recording of some
Russian woman on vocals, Del Casher was involved, and it appeard ont he
Mystery Box bootleg and also Beyond The Fringe Of Audience Comprehension,
neither of which I've heard. How would you describe the song? Are there
any lyrics? I always imagined it to be a lost part of the Hunchentoot
story, but that may not be right.
I've put up a cheap little page in my unreleased songs section for Space
Boy, so anything you might know about it would be greatly appreciated.

Lando? Why, he's the character played by Billy Dee Williams in the Star Wars
movies. The guy from Cloud City.

I think there's actually a direct link. Wasn't FZ originally
considered to do the music from Star Wars? Don't laugh, I'm pretty
sure someone posted an article from something or other a while back
that said just that.

here's what I posted a year ago or so:
Subject: CPIII & R2D2 (was: secret soundtracks)
While reading my brother's Star Wars Insider #32, I found an interesting
thing that kept my imagination busy all the evening...
In his article "20 years ago today- an anniversary toast to Star Wars"
Scott Chernoff compiles Star Wars-memories of various famous people,
among them Dweezil Zappa:
"I was eight years old. We were all crazy about the movie and I saw it
about a billion times. I was totally obsessed. It was the best movie of
all time- it just had really good characters, cool interplanetary stuff,
and it looked really different. The sound effects and the lightsabers-
they were just really cool ideas, and it still holds up as really cool.
Nothing about Star Wars is hokey."
"We were told shortly after the movie came out that our father Frank was
one of the people considered to do the movie and his manager said "no
way" right off the bat. Frank never even got to make a decision. Of
course, when we heard this, my brother and sister and I all screamed
"No!". But I love the music in the movie anyway."
"Lando Calrissian" on BTHW, "Star Wars Won't Work" (though it has more
to do with Reagan than with the movie) on MAJN- are there more SW
references in FZ's body of work?

I guess the Cantina band would have played an old Joe Perrino classic...

It's got lots of super-spooky electronics--in fact, it would be perfect
for the Halloween music thread--and the singer sounds like a poor man's
Dagmar Krause or Lene Lovich. Here are the lyrics as best I can make
them out...there are a few gaps, and a little of what's here is undoubtedly
wrong; the spellings of the names Sean and Velana are my best guess.
Cosmonaut Sean, Space Boy, beware
Velana is waiting for you are there
Don't cross the parallel of time and space
Or you'll die of love in a (???)
Velana is the queen and fate is her (???)
Velana the lover, sex without soul
Sean! Space Boy, Space Boy.
Laughing at danger, (???) jest
He soared through space on his gallant quest
But there in ambush behind heaven's gate
Mysterious Velana was lying in wait
Spellbound he looked into her glazing green eyes
She smiled and stirred her enticing thighs
Sean! Space Boy, Space Boy.
A thousand fires pierced his flesh
He pledged his love with tender caress
Fireballs and sunbursts showered them with lights
Then the two lovers held a sacred rite
Her kisses were deadly, the cosmic night grew dark
She tightened her green arms around his heart
A sob of sorrow echoed to the sky
He sighed "I love you," then he died
Oh, Sean! Sean! Space Boy, Space Boy.
Then he was buried among the stars
The legend says wherever you are
You can hear on certain nights
A young man's voice calling from the heights
Velana, Velana, come back to me, my love,
Velana, Velana, Velana!
Oooh, Sean! Space Boy, Space Boy.
BTW, is there really a separate bootleg called _Beyond The Fringe Of
Audience Comprehension_? That's the title of the particular disc
in _Mystery Box_ that includes this song.

I've been told (but it hasn't been proven to me) that all the discs in
MYSTERY BOX have also been "sold separately".
