Any info on "Dead Girl" MP3 file?
Taoman
claims to be an "ultra rare" Frank Zappa recording
with Van Morrison singing lead.
Anyone know where this comes from and if
that really is Van Morrison? I've seen many
MP3's misnamed, so I'm skeptical.

Due to contractual reasons, Van's voice was removed from the track and
the version that appears on the Shankar album has FZ and Denny Walley
(?).

was not
one la:ther. Apparently, Van Morrison's record label (was it Warner Bros. I
don't remember)
would not grant permission for the release, so it was Frank and Ike that
appeared on the Touch Me There version.

the names of some files, and it's nice to know one is for real.
I've seen "Stuck in the Middle with You" credited to Dylan and
Paul Simon both. I've seen the Tom Waits version of "Jersey Girl"
credited to Springsteen. And Lennon credited with singing "Day
Tripper" with Hendrix. All are wrong.
So thanks again.

I've seen it listed on Napster as a Steely Dan recording.............

Yes, but at least it's someone trying to sound like Lennon. Some
people still reckon that it is Lennon.........
But the DGOL mp3 really is of FZ with Van the Man..

-- the version that appears on the Shankar album has FZ and Denny Walley
I just looked in the "Touch me there" 's booklet and the Vocals section is:
FZ & Ike Willis and chorus is Vicky Blumenthal.

The track is "Dead Girls of London." Along with Frank's vocal it's not
Denny Walley; it was Ike Willis. Van was on Warner Bros., with whom Frank
had just recently had the altercation over Lather, so Warner did not want
to have Van on Frank's new label. (Pretty ironic, considering how Warner
has neglected Van's catalog over the years.)

Napster is terrible with this. "What if God Smoked Cannibis" (parody of "One
of Us" by Joan Osborne) is credited to Weird Al but it's definitely not him.
Last night I downloaded something called "The Beer Song" supposedly by They
Might Be Giants but it doesn't sound like them... There are others too, but
these are just examples. Anyways...
np: schoenberg "chamber symphony no.1 opus 9"

Yeah, well it was from Napster that I got Dead Girls so, so you can
understand why I was so suspicious!
