ZappaFest - "Bobby Brown" Geir covers Zappa

[Bluesberry]

Damn your voice sounds good here.  Incredible job.  It must have been so wild/funny singing these lyrics.  Top stuff Geir.

Thanks guys !! Yeah it was fun to do, especially after listening closer to the original and really discovering how many layers there was. eg. the main vox is triple-tracked on the original and there's a distorted guitar way back in the mix I hadn't remembered was there ....

Can I please ask you what the chords are to this one?  I think I play it off key and you sound dead on!

the verses goes :

|C  | am  | dm7 | G |

chorus:
|F   | em am | dm7 G| G - - -  |

from "oh god oh god I'm so fantastic": 
|F   | em am | F G| G - - - | F G | G - - -  |

Thanks so much Geir for the reply about the chords

Mange Takk!

Wow, this sounds just like the original.
Great work on this Geir. It must have taken a lot of work.
Your vox sound just like Zappa.

This brings back a lot of memories.
I saw Zappa in concert back in 77 or 78 (God, I am getting old) 
About halfway through the concert he put his guitar down, go a mic and sang this song.
I didn't know what it was at the time but I remember
laughing at the lyrics as he sang the song.
I searched for this song but never could find it and about a year later
it came out as a track on his "Sheik Yerbouti" album.

Great job on this.
Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

Super effective multi-tracked vocals.  HUGE wide sound, MEGA tone.

Spot on!  Does Dweezil know what you're doing? And would he fly to Norway to shake your hand or have you killed? You're encroaching all over his territory.

Can't say I'm a fan of the song - I like my satire a little less obvious. But this is a great treatment, and I love the way you have done the vox, there's a great stereo effect on the lead vocal. The production and arrangement are superb, you really are the master of the MBR!

Cheers,

Just starting to catch up around here, and this is FREAKIN' FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Lots of great vocals - And those do eat up the available v tracks in a hurry. I really enjoyed it, this song was always played at the parties I went to when I was younger. Hearing 25 people singing "And I'm a miserable son of a bitch" at the top of their lungs was the best!

Anyway, sweet, sweet tune bro!!
