I always liked Frank Zappa's music. Great music and satire all in one package.
This is one of my favorites.
You know you get my attention when posting a Zappa tune. This is one of the tunes I was hoping to get done at the Zappa-fest last year, but never got the time to do.
You've done well Gene. Great vocals and that solo is smokin' !!!
fantastic like mr Frank is in the cellar right next to me singing his dulcid tones in my ear.....a master piece one my favourites too ....a job well done ...just love it in......fact I'm going to listen to it again.....and again ....and again....love it .....
You are riding the hell out of that pygmy pony!
Great job, great solo!
Rock on!
Just saw Zappa Plays Zappa and Return to Forever last Friday, so this was a nice surprise.
Nice job on this one. How did you do the drums?
Blooby
Thanks for all the kind comments, guys.
I put more work into this song than I did in the last six songs I've completed.
The horns and keys are all synthesized.
The drum track was created on the DR-880.
I played the bass, guitar, and added three tracks of vocals.
No pygmy pony was harmed during the creation of this song.
The closest i ever got to Frank Zappa , was knowing a guy who loved Frank and the Mothers of Invention , and i used to get high on LSD whilst bunking of from school at the age of 14 , good times , but this is good , not my thing , but good , you obviously put a lot of work into this , and deserve kudos , excellent in fact

Another listen.
Hell, this is just great.
Blooby
Your hard work on this dandy shows through...
Bravo
Wicked solo
LG
GENE!!! This is truly excellent!!!
You just brought me back to a slice in time when
me and some friends would hang out back parting and
spinning these classic Zappa records ... this was one of
our favorites ...
MANNN!!! All the parts are done so well!!! ... and the VOCALS ... YES!!!
What's next? The Muffin Man??? ;)
Kenny B.
Thanks again, Blooby, LG, Kenny.
I don't currently have any more Zappa music under consideration.
I have been listening to some of Thin Lizzy's music. Some definite possibilities there.
WOW! Amazing work on this...such detail. It all sounds perfect. What a production!
Thanks for the kudo, Sandy.
I probably made many more mistakes on this one than I usually do. I've just gotten good at editing out the bad parts. Unlike what the song says, I'm keeping the sweet stuff.
Yeah i can appreciate this..Good work SD! A hard one to accomplish!
Thanks, Gnasty.
If I ever get the chance to play this song live I want to be payed by the note.
I'll make a heck of a lot more money than if I'm payed by the hour.
deserved bump.......
(bump)
I'm not a Zappa fan but can appreciate the work and the music talent that you put into this mr speed demon.
That solo is amazing.
Nice bump......oh and the vocals cool as well
Bloody hell, Gene - this is fantastic! I'd completely missed this one. Massive production. The guitar solo! The marimba(?) solo.
Brilliant.
Paul
Thanks for listening, gentlemen.
Somewhere in the universe perhaps Frank Zappa is listening and smiling down on us all for our musical efforts.
