Frank Zappa lyrics
Brian Park
I'm trying to find a song by the late, great Frank Zappa. Can't remember
hardly anything about it, except that in the middle, he goes "You couldn't,
you shouldn't, I can't, he won't, she didn't", etc. etc. Don't remember the
correct pronoun either, as you can see.
I realize that this isn't much info, but it's all I can think of. Like a
fading dream, the more I try to think about it, the less certain I am of
things.
Please help! Any Zappa-aficionados familiar with the song/album?
Thanks,
Brian Park

Remember ?
The poodle is talking to the man with bromodrosis (aka "stink-foot").
The man responds: "You can't say that!" The poodle retorts concerning
this negativism ... you can't, you shouldn't ..." The omniscienet
narrator advises (in chorus): "The poodle bytes, the poodle chooses"
From the albumn "Apostrophe" which casual Zappa fans remember best by
the tender story about a fur trapper and a baby seal and an eskimo boy
named Nanook and the rememdy (written on what-ever it is that they
write it on up there) for yellow snow in the eyes (rubbed vigorously
in a circular motion hitherto unknown in this region) found at the
parish of St. Alphonzo.

Actually it's "the poodle chews it".
Makes a bit more sense, don't you think?

Apostrophe comes to mind... perhaps `Stinkfoot', where he refers to Fido
speaking.

Zappa wasn't great - he was the greatest. I spent many hours listening
to his music the last 25 years. He was a modern day composer and a
hell of a guitar player. He was unique, from Freak Out to Roxy And
Elsewhere to Jazz From Hell.
For true Zappa lyrics, listen to "Dumb All Over". One of my
personel favorites.
"In the Book it says he made us all to be just like him,
So if we're dumb, then God is Dumb, And maybe even a little ugly on
the side".

IMHO to this day I don't know what the big deal about Frank Zappa was.
His songs were shitty and his guitar solos were awful. His musical
arrangements were real cheezy. I don't understand why people worship him
like some type of musical diety. Just MHO.

>Yet another masterpice....

Maybe it's because he was a musical genious!! He helped pieneer (sp)
The digital recording medium, he played all types of music; jazz,
rock, blues, classical, etc...
He was one of the most prolific of modern day composers.
And most of all, IMO, he was one of the most unique guitarists in the
last 30 years.
And while the rest of the music industry was writing cheasy love
ballads, zappa was writing songs that were very entertaining. Shall I
go on?

In response to the bewildered Zappa non-fan:
Maybe you just haven;t done your homework. Zappa was VERY prolific.
He put out well over 40 or 50 albums. How many have you listened to?
I admit, some Zappa I cannot stand to listen to.
But there is much Zappa that is incredible.
If you are going to bad-mouth him, listen to his entire collection,
then tell us all about it.
I have been a Zappa fan for 18 years. His music ranges from rock to country
to jazz, to classical to funk to blues to boogie and more.
His lyrics range from brilliant to stupid, funny to hilarious, witty to
genius, intelligent, politically aware, socially critical and totally
off the wall nonsense.
Want musical genius? Listen to "The Ocean is the Ultimate Solution" on
Sleepdirt. Or "Low Budget Orchestra for Guitar and other Instruments" on
Studio Tan. Listen to the words of "Dumb All Over", and "The Meek Shall
Inherit Nothiing". Listen to his guitar in "Sleep Dirt", or "Excentrifugal
Force", or "Montanna". Check out the warped humor/genius of the Joes Garage
3-album set.
I could go on. And on.
Obviously you just haven't got a clue. After all, the rest of the world
doesn't bestow the title "musical genius" on just anyone.
In Frank Zappa's case, it is well justified.
RIP Frank! Thanks for the many hours of enjoyment.

Maybe Zappa wasn't the best musician in the world, but he sure used them.
I saw him in LA in the 70s. What a show. They must have rehearsed for
years.
George Duke et. al. were fantastic. Even Flo and Eddie. Movin to Montana
demonstrates great musicianship and humor. Dyna Moe Hum "she had bovine
perspiration on her upper lip area". How he got away with not drinking or
doing
drugs around the people he was with in the 60s is amazing in itself. Some
of
his stuff was irritating, but so was lenny bruce's. The only good music
that
ever made me laugh my ass off. Saw his sons on Conan O'brien and the one
named Ahmet brought down the house with his assininity(sp).

I always liked side 2 of Hot Rats. Stunning musically, but no words to get in
the way of someone paying attention to what FZ is really about (to me). Then
once they get loosened up with that zap 'em with Roxy and Elsewhere.

Not to mention Joe's Garage.
Waka Jawaka & The Grand Wazoo are two incredible albums.
Uncle meat had some incredible musical pieces such as King Kong.
And Burnt Weeny Sandwich had an 18 minute version of Little house I
used to live in. Sugarcane Harris on Violin, IMO much better than
Ponty.
ZAPPA WAS THE BEST!!!

ending with Muffin Man, which may be FZ's finest solo.

I'll recommend:
Studio Tan
Sleep Dirt
Zoot Allures
Overnight Sensation
Apostrophe
Joe's Garage I, II and III
Sheik Yer Booti (sp?)
And what about that wha-wha-saxaphone solo in Chunga's Revenge?
I thought it was a guitar for years. :)
Way back in 1975 or so, I went into a hip Chicago record-store
called "Strawberry Fields" and asked for the recommended starter-food-
album for Frank Zappa. They had lots to choose from even then. The hippy
behind the counter thought long and hard and finally decided that
"Overnight Sensation" was THE one to start out with (for a young punk
like me, I guess).
He must have been right, I've been a fan ever since.
Thanks for the smiles Frank.

Since Rykodisc has taken over the Frank Zappa catalog, they now offer
Apostrophe and Overnite Sesation together on one disc. It is definitely
the best place to start, not to mention being a whole lot of really cool
music for not much cash.
