  • oh, she had me until Pac -Man ... I would've married her if it had only been Ms. Pac-Man (that's Mizz not Miss people)

  • When this song came out, I couldn't understand a word she says. But now, after 30 years, I understand every word. That's scary!

  • Its funny. I watched the Occupy girls with the same mentality but wearing rags bought from Goodwill so they can prove a pointless point. At least in the 80s girls had more pride,but everything today is backwords..Like a complete 180 for sure.

  • OMG!!!!!!

    3:45

  • Zappa's daughter (Moon Unit) did the vocals on this - she deserves a retrospective Grammy for absolutely nailing Valspeak.

  • @crapatev agreed

  • my name, my name is andrieeaaa vincent..LOL

  • Oh, right could you like just picture me in a like a leather teddy? Yeah right, hurt me, hurt me I'm sure no way!!

  • Comment removed

  • are , ;like omy god, are um BMW still the ultimate cruisemobiles?

  • Valley Girl has Got It.

  • Lol well finally found out what 'Mr Bufu' meant.

  • like...you know...civilization is SOOO doomed? ya know? as in totally? doomed?

  • Who else besides Frank would put the bass as the most up front instrument in the mix with everything else buried in the back. Genius.

  • The Zappa family's "Intellectual Property".

  • ok fine

    

  • And now, everyone talks like this, even 40 year old cable TV hosts, proving it's easier to climb down the evolutionary ladder than up.

  • Classic Zappa, for sure.

  • my teacher talked about this in my class and i had to look it up

  • Man, Moon Unit did a great job in this. she is totally valley, for sure.

  • I'm going to be going 'dum dum da da dum dum da da valley girl' for the next 3 hours.

  • "intah the kleen stuf like pac-man..." LOL!

  • I was surprised that when this came out a lot of people hadnt heard people talk like this.I grew up at the beach and waaaay too many people talked like this....................bag your face Im sure.

  • this man was wayyyyy head of the curve!!

  • I LOVE the bass in this song. It's so damn catchy.

  • was this roxie cotton's theme?

  • I remember hearing this on the radio (maybe American Top 40?) when I was 4. I never heard it again until right now. I had no idea Zappa did this. I only remembered the line "gag me with a spoon". Nice to have a closure to a thirty year old mystery memory...

  • 1:12

  • Seems like NINA HAGGEN with?

  • Can you believe this was getting airplay in 82? What a fuckin' period that was

  • The 19 people hat dislike this are valley girls x

  • @JordanBiTCHVoase Seams like NINA HAGGEN with

  • Kreayshawn is a new version of the ol Valley Girlz,

    she even dropped a reference to this song in Gucci Gucci

  • Zappa made some awesome Jazz Fusion which remains under appreciated to this day and one of my favorite musical genres, yet I stayed away from him for a long time because of this song thinking he was just another novelty song writer. His biggest hit is his worst song.

  • My God, that bass is AMAZING!

  • Oh god make it stop!

    I remember finding it funny 20 years ago but now its like fingernails on a blackboard.

    Oh it's horrible. LOL. It's causing me pain but I can't stop listening!

    It's like that song "mother" by the police.

    Whew! It's over. Thank god!

  • At times this song sums up how my sister and her friends act.

  • Moon Zappa and Planet Zappa together...

  • Comment removed

  • this is  zappa's daughter , moon unit zappa

  • Oh my God was it him that sang this? I heard this on the radio once and i had no idea who sang this. I was looking for something else and found this. This is a really good song.

  • This was maybe the most powerful one-hits ever!  Mad a pretty big splash!

  • Its funny because everyone in California thought it was funny and used this as a joke, while the rest of the country seemed to think it was what all the "cool" people in California did.

  • @SuperRandomness12345 You didn't live in California in the 80's, did you?

    Because this is pretty much what every girl sounded like, it wasn't a joke and it wasn't started by this song, it was an evolution of of the 70's accent.

    You just got used to it. The only girls who didn't talk like that were like the nerdy girls who barely ever spoke.

    Next you're going to say everyone didn't have feathered hair in the 70's for some horrible reason.

    Just be glad we live now.

  • @loldude83 People still do talk like this, except that it's become a part of mainstream culture. (And online, I swear, teenage girls say "like, OMG" so often... "It's like, totally, gagging me with a spoon."

  • love you Laura xxx

  • whenever I hear this, i always think Emily A.

  • My English teacher is like Mr. Bufu

  • @Louielounge He's like, Lord King Bufu.

  • miss u frank!

  • why the fuck is "how to make your cum taste good" in the suggestions?!

  • @craz3killa Because of Mr. Bufu..?

  • @craz3killa i bet you clicked that link though lmao.

  • @craz3killa Trying to make cum taste good is like trying to find God, it's impossible. Unless you're on some really good drugs.

  • @XIIIBAER Try celery. Avoid asparagus.

  • @craz3killa It's not there anymore... what do you have to do? Drink 10 gallons of orange juice? :D

  • @craz3killa Good question (eat lots of fruit)...

  • Still a fun song to listen to after all these years!

  • Heard this on 80's on 8 on Sirius XM yesterday, freaking hilarious lol 

  • OMG I still talk like this sometimes... and I didn't grow up in the Valley... I grew up in the South Bay of Los Angeles! :-)

  • I think this may be one of the best things I've ever heard. Makes me wish I was 15 in 1982.

  • Frank Zappa is such a BADASS. I know his philosophy was all people are assholes until proven guilty, and he is right to a point. But, I wonder if his kids, or his daughter specifically really was a valley girl, or some other thing he didn't like, would he still love them the way they are, would he tell them to get their shit together and stop being assholes...if one of his sons was gay, or decided to go into politics...?? Thoughts?

  • ha caught myself playin this tonite

  • omg now i wish i was a valley girl

  • No need to DNA test Moon Unit for her bloodline......

  • Is it bad that I love Val speak? Somehow I just grew up looking up to this way of speaking >_< but I'm like, really trying to cut back you know?

  • ya like totally the voice of a generation i"m shur

  • Unit is the perfect parody of the valley girl. She's learned well.

  • The chorus of backup chorus of "valley girl' makes her sound like godzilla., I am so shur

  • The chorus of backup chorus of "valley girl' makes her sound like godzilla.

  • killer bass

  • ....killer bass groove

  • so bitchin'

  • This song is like totally awesome. 

  • like, omg.... totally awesome

  • The thing people don't realize is that the way of speaking where you say, "He goes ... then I go ... then he's like all ... then I'm all ... " was not in use before this song came out, and now it's a standard teenage dialect. It's all his fault.

  • I want a doughter like her !!!! Barf me out !!!!

  • grodie to the max! barf out

  • I hope to someday have a daughter that is as much of a snarky, cynical bitch as Moon Unit. By that, I mean a kid with a personality and some kind of social awareness and self-respect. Hilarious!

  • I want to punch the bitch in the face.

  • @Owneador1337 That's his daughter, moon-unit, she literally invented the valley-girl by improvising this in a song.

  • @AngstRiddenAnnoyance I know. I'd still punch her hard.

  • @AngstRiddenAnnoyance haa no way. she improvised this? that's great.

  • @barkpeeler2000 Heck yeah! Lol! :-)

  • it's funny to imagine that this was written to parody some girls whom she knew at school. it accidentally became a success and nearly everyone started to talk like this...

  • @karsten69 it's "funny" that 30 years later, morons still talk very similar... and it has spread even further... i know people with a phd who talk like that... gnahh!!

  • @karsten69 Since it was California it would have spread worldwide anyway through movies and whatnot. But dear god, how horrible I find it to hear this accent in real life. I swear it cripples me sometimes. I hate those bastards and I wish someday that they die and quickly.

  • @karsten69 Oh god really? I feel so fucking sorry for her now T_T

  • For sure! 

  • I miss the Galleria.

    

  • i was 12 when this came out ... and i was not a valley girl btw. but i had the cassette. loved the music.

  • I went to High school with girls like that in the mid 2000's...I guess some things never change.

  • Killer Album from my days of yore. Thanks for post:)

  • 17 idiots are dirtbags

  • bag those toenails. Like baggin Chelsea Clinton's face.

  • Thumbs up if one of your friends speaks like this.

  • gag me with a spoon ..lmao

  • "Lord God King BUFU" LMAO

    

  • she sounds like Sarah Palin

  • @corv989

    Sarah Palin sounds like her

  • @greasemonkey1228 Do NOT insult Frank Zappa by mentioning S@r@h P@l*n in the same anything with him.

    Thank you, thank you very much.

  • @screendude69

    LOL

    you got it

  • Es imposible sentirse ofendido por esta canción si se conoce su historia!

    Moon Unit Zappa,1982

  • I just fucked a valley bitch in the mouth

    They might be dumb and spoiled

    But they sure know how to suck dick

  • @superkulmedkniv25 you should have fucked in the skulll...lol

  • @markas5 shieht

  • OH Mah Gaw! Your toenails are like soooo Grodie!

  • Cool!

  • "Valley Girl sweet so sweet and pure" HaHa

  • @Morgethein By the way, "religion" literally means "way to understand God" and "God" means "Supreme Being, Creator". So Deism would technically qualify as a religion. Also, worship means "to serve and show appreciation to God", which in Frank's case and probably most Deist's cases, means being a good force and power upon existence. When asked how he goes about showing his religious side, he said "its not about showing it off.. I don't think showing it off makes a person more religious."

  • @Morgethein Yeah but seeing as the majority of the most famous geniuses in our books were Deists, and how science eventually always points toward Deism, I think there's something to it. His many quotes belittling religion, if you will notice, are more about belittling the feeble minded fools who let themselves be manipulated like puppets with the strings of a device like religion. The quote that cleared it up for me if he was religious was "do you consider yourself religious?" "Oh, absolutely."

  • Gag me with a spoon!!!

  • @Morgethein He seems to probably be a deist, like most super-geniuses. Many famous people who are claimed to be atheists were actually deists, but people just branded them atheists n spread it around until the bs became considered the truth. Find me a shred of proof that he was an atheist, because I have video proof of him stating he was "absolutely" religious.

  • @Morgethein he wasn't an atheist. I'm tired of people thinking he was an atheist. He was religious, but kept it very private and mysterious. He believed in something.

  • and now most girls talk like this! All over the world! Like, totally!

  • catchy song :) like totally, for sure, for sure

  • Comment removed

  • hahahahahahahaha this just made my day !

  • I remember this when I was 15 and now I've "discovered" the rest of Zappa. I used to think him more of a Weird Al but the dude was more of a Beck, only obviously the other way around. I never understood his influence or why he was in the Rock Hall but now I get it. This tune is pretty damn catchy by the way..

  • I sing this song everytime a bimbo walks past and no one knows what I mean it's awesome

  • like like like like like like like like

  • wow dumb bitches have spoken the same way for decades.

  • Like o my god.i was 18 when this came out..I'm 47 and still laughing...life's good

  • Kim Kardashian?

  • I don't like this tune. Too noisy.

  • Sadly the valley girl syndrome is now an established world wide phenomenon.

  • Unutterably splendid. Cheers!

  • I hate U2, Bono should die.

  • @larglemonster Thank You!

  • @larglemonster

    he's certainly past his prime -

  • @SupernalOne--Yeah, I guess when you're dead, you're definitely "past your prime."

  • @handyman1017 LoL.

  • I think I have to jump in here and mention that his daughter MOON UNIT ZAPPA does the "singing". Just so Frank doesn't get all the credit.

  • Homophobic? Zappa was probably the least homophobic man working in rock in the 70s. His music is no more homophobic than Lenny Bruce's work. Zappa's piano player was an (out) gay man at the time too. Perhaps you don't comprehend what a Valley Girl is.

  • That's right, Awndreeah.

  • For sure for sure...Valley

  • like omg this song is soo bitchin =D

  • Was 10 years old when this came out...great stuff when your a kid!

  • isnt that moon unit being the valley grrl?

  • @ouidaja yeah.

  • @ouidaja Yep

  • Genius is such a strong word.

  • interesting... i wonder whether that album art was an inspiration to the designer of the aphex twin logo...

  • it was probably already said in the comments, but that is Zappa's daughter, Moon Unit as the valley girl

  • @Morgethein hmm, he's probably not a homophobe, but the lyrics do play on the whole gay-men-are-actually-pedophile­s lie. I guess I'll just look at it in light of the early 80s backlash against queers.

  • gag me with a spoon, what a tune

  • Stolen from the movie Valley Girl?????

    Frank Zappa's song 'Valley Girl' appeared on the 'Ship arriving too late to save a drowning Witch' album released in May 1982, while the Nicholas Cage movie of the same name wasn't released until late April 1983 fully 12 months later

    Zappa was clearly even more of a genius than we have given him credit for. Very few people have the ability to travel forward in time, steal a song and then travel back 12 months to claim it as their own.

  • @wager42 ...uh, it's the other way around, man. Zappa came first, the inspiration for the movie came from this song. Zappa handled his lyrics like Gallagher his comedy, observation first, then social commentary rife with sarcasm. My kind of musician, and a true genius the likes of which we will probably never see again.

  • @thepunemonster56 then he musically smashed a watermelon with a sledgehammer.....musically

  • 11 people were made to clean the cat box

  • Girls said 'groady to the max!' back in the 60's.

  • @glimmer2158 actually that was a 70's phrase, in the 60's it was "totally counter rev and bogue dude!"

  • That's some filthy bass.

  • @Zerojimm

    If you like that style try some old Max Webster from Canada! Try "Check" ,later!

  • now the whole country talks like this LOL, most sentences end as a question

  • my girl was a new york princess and a southern gal - and I miss her from ages,

  • Man, I really love zappa, but what the hell happened? lack of drugs addled his ability to distinguish the seperate music I guess, and you just end up with this mess of noises all in the same key.

  • @annoythefish

    ZAPPA is our Motzart

    sorry he is the best we got

    and he is pretty damn good

  • @annoythefish I think that was the point...."ya' right, hurt-me hurt-me, totally, like fer sure..."

  • I just realized how homophobic this song is. I don't know how I didn't pick up on before.

  • When I first heard this in the 80s I HATED it!! But now, compared to what's out there (and on those stupid idol shows) this is GREAT-or at least better than today's stuff. I'll take the 80s over today's American Idiot crap! And Frank's from my home town! Would rather listen to Frank's avant-garde style. Guess that describes it.

  • um theres no age to appreciate Zappa, hes already appreciate by every new born since 1977

  • Moon is hotie!

  • I want a video with that bassline isolated... it's a masterpiece itself!

  • Just another reason i thank god i was not born in the eighties. Gag me, please. blegh!

  • @Zimbob1201 Excuse me but have you paid attention to the accents today? It comes from this accent here. And YOU'RE copying the 'gag me' slang as well. Your '80s is crap' cliche is boring and invalid as hell too.

  • @ColtraneTaylor Some dumbasses just can't understand SARCASM. And I'm not saying accents today are any better-DID YOU EVEN SEEEEEE THAT IN MY COMMENT?!?!?!?!?! You're a dumbass for claiming I said something when so clearly I didn't!!! Regardless, accents today are hell of a lot more tolerable than they were in that wretched decade. Yeesh!!

  • @Zimbob1201 Saying the 80s accents were horrible isn't sarcasm, idiot.

  • Like, Ohmigosh. Frank and Moon hit #32 in Billboard, 9-11-82. Totally grody! Thanx for postin' it!

  • man the 80's were the best!
