The Bob Marley thread being up and all, I just had to ask this. I was just wondering what are ya'lls' favorite Frank Zappa songs? The man was a genius, and there is definitely an extensive list to pick from. I would say my favorites are:
Peaches en Regalia
Harder than your husband
The Adventures of Gregory Peccary!
The Ocean is the Ultimate Solution
Suicide Chump
Sexual Harrassment in the workplace
Dumb All Over
G-spot Tornado

Quite a list...I guess another acceptable title for the thread could be "What is your favorite Frank Zappa Album?" I guess mine would be:
Guitar
Jazz From Hell

The man was an absolute genius and nut. Wish I could have met him. I hope others out there agree.

Bobby Brown

Hey there, people, I’m bobby brown
They say I’m the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
I’m dressin’ sharp ’n’ i’m
Actin’ cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work ’n’ maybe later I’ll rape her

Oh God I am the american dream
I do not think I’m too extreme
An’ I’m a handsome sonofabitch
I’m gonna get a good job ’n’ be real rich

(get a good
Get a good
Get a good
Get a good job)

Women’s liberation
Came creepin’ across the nation
I tell you people I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it’s still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick

Oh God I am the american dream
But now I smell like vaseline
An’ I’m a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady...i don’t know which

(I wonder wonder
Wonder wonder)

So I went out ’n’ bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I’m still kinda cute
Got a job doin’ radio promo
An’ none of the jocks can even tell I’m a homo
Eventually me ’n’ a friend
Sorta drifted along into s&m
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
’long as I gets a little golden shower

Oh God I am the american dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An’ I’ll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin’, thank you, fred!
Oh god, oh god, I’m so fantastic!
Thanks to freddie, I’m a sexual spastic
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, I’m goin down,
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, I’m goin down, etc.

Oh man!!! I forgot about Bobby Brown! :laughing:
I guess that is the problem with Zappa, having so many songs it is impossible to try and pick a favorite. I do not think there is a single one I do not like. I have 107 albums on my computer, and have listened to them all. Many times. Amounts to over 1240 songs....a little more than 4 days of Frank Zappa.
Damn the man was hilarious. And a Genius.

Can't say, I've heard about 10% of his material. I listened to Zappa radio but it's been down every time I checked past few months.

Can't really say, he was one of the most talented musicians of the 20th century.
