Frank Zappa- I am the Walrus

[SatsumaTV]

wow, my two favorite artists in one song. sex is going to be severely disappointing from now on after hearing this

[peppoz88]

hey people! does someone know where can i find the entire mp3 of this cover? It seems to be the version with the best audio on the web... I need it to play it on my university radio ;)

[Joe0994]

@peppoz88 download it from a youtube converter or something, i don't think you'll find the mp3 to this :(

[Raffael900me]

did i just hear him say "i am derp walrus"? trololololoo

[creadorpuchi]

@Raffael900me i LISTEN THAT TOOO d:!:!::d

Frank Zappa é demais, é muito bom, é um dos grandes, THE BEATLES são os maiores de todos os tempos, como pode a mente humana criar uma coisa como os BEATLES, é demais. Valeu.

[QuietGuitaristfan]

Better than the Oasis cover by far

[willdude123456]

me gusta!!

[JdInmortal]

Is a great cover, this and the Oasis one are my fuck'n favorites...

[VeeOma]

frank rocks!!!...

[VeeOma]

best cover in the whole world....

[SaraTGinMD]

Meh. Not a bad cover but nothing special. Never understood the attraction of Zappa.

[deathpigeon69]

@SaraTGinMD Just curious to know how you are qualified to call it 'nothing special'. The problem with music - people who don't play or even investigate music beyond top 10 records feel they can comment on things which, I'm sorry, they can't.

[SaraTGinMD]

@deathpigeon69 Qualified? LOL. That has to be one of the oddest replies I've ever heard to a post saying one does or does not like a particular piece of music. Now we must get college degrees before we can say if we find a song up to our personal tastes? But if you must know my qualifications all I can say is I am the eggman.

[deathpigeon69]

@SaraTGinMD What's so funny about that then. What's your musical background? You didn't say the song wasn't 'up to your musical tastes', whatever they are, you said it was nothing special. I'm curious as to how people have the right to say things like this, and also why on earth they feel the need to.

[edcampion19]

@deathpigeon69 if it don't give you shivers up the spine its shit. Not scientific, works for me. This is shit(well, it gets marks for being inventive, just not very musical, just a drone with weird effects(which is kinda his shtick)

[deathpigeon69]

@edcampion19 This is what I mean - I'm not being a c*nt - but FFS, saying this isn't 'musical', and that Zappa's 'shtick' is using a 'drone with weird effects'? It just doesn't cope, but sadly that'd be the view that overrules the truth.

[noclouds111]

Frank liked the song for its' quirkiness!

Odd lyrics, distorted synthesizer, noises, horns, etc.

Sounds like something Zappa could have created.

Koo koo ka choo!

[pitullo70]

in questo brano zappa ha molte palle a fare un brano cosi' complicato dal vivo ..tanto di cappello!

[pitullo70]

Si ma infatti sono d'accordo...che senso ha far confronti tipo a chi vuoi piu' bene a mamma o papa?? io adoro zappa ...ha uno stile tutto suo...!! e poi e' tipico dei Beatles se ci fate caso quello di essere stati dei compositori geniali e semplici e tutte le volte che qualcuno ha fatto le loro cover dato che erano molto limitati tecnicamente ...sono usciti capolavori a volte superiori alle originali...vedi joe cocker ..o tante altre cover come got to get you into my life..etc

[gillmalka19682]

Wait a sec... didn't Zappa hate The Beatles? ("We're Only in It For the Money" is a great example for that).

[LittleMidgetGod]

@gillmalka19682 no

[Gorevet]

@gillmalka19682 don't let your personal opinion of an artist ruin good music for you

[madamimadamimadam]

@gillmalka19682 I dunno if Zappa hated the Beatles, but the Beatles idolized him. Paul McCartney once said that Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was the Beatles trying to make their own Freak Out! album.

[pitullo70]

ecco un altro che crede di essere l'unico ad aver ascoltato zappa ...di circa 84 albun si salvano due o tre...

[pitullo70]

eccezionale forse qualche sigla di canzoni animati in piu' avrebbe potuto farla ..oppure magari continuare con il filone di tengo na minchia tanta....ah gia' memorabile quando tenta giovanissimo di suonare la bicicletta..non scherziamo ..i beatles sono i beatles ..( che poi lui ha anche imitato indegnamente....lasciamo perdere..!!

[DocMascetti]

@pitullo70 i beatles sono i beatlas, ma zappa è zappa, come compositore e uomo di musica non aveva nulla da invidiare a nessuno, anzi...

[ekathe85]

In my opinion it is a very, very respectful version. Having listened to some insane Zappa stuff, such as Uncle Meat and Jazz from Hell, I was expecting him to eventually go all ape shit on it, but the arrangements seem pretty much the same to me as the original ones

[TheSpoonwood]

this has been sped up , sample rate problem my guess

[pulal]

HORIBBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[casestudyification]

People don't understand what kind of musicians played with Zappa. They were masters at chord theory, and they knew their stuff and could play anything. I will always dig on Frank, but I loved his fantastic musicians as well. Long live der Walrus!!

[pitullo70]

Bisogna inventarle canzoni del genere...rifarle siamo tutti bravi...canzone unica nella storia della musica di tutti i tempi...è di John Lennon

[73maxoneit]

@pitullo70 bravo, prova tu...penso che visto che che stiamo parlando del musicista che in assoluto ha prodotto più ore di musica di qualunque altro....non ci sia polemica sul fatto che frank zappa non deve dimostrare niente a nessuno in quanto a creatività e competenza essendo stato compositore, chitarrista e direttore d'orchestra nel rock, nel pop e nella classica....

[Brollyhero93TOP10]

The time has come! Said the walrus....

[LordFancourt]

nice, nice, but too fast, too fast, too fast. You have to let it breathe///

[dg9kaq]

@LordFancourt that's the tape itself.

[juan13579run]

well for me better than the original

[Rogg567]

Is there an album version of this?

[mrseat38]

Ike - They made a board rec of that medley in Ptld. ,ME. First time I hoid it . FN awesome !

[1Steveconway]

Think I'm on the wrong language channel somehow but i saw frank do a Beatle's medley as an encore at the Wembley Arena a few years ago.It was sadly one of his last concerts.

[ricardodelacalera]

MASTEEERRR

[ummagumma60]

muero por estar ahi!!!!!!! este hombre es increible!

[ricardelioo]

IMPRESIONANTEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Marantzino]

Mi dispiace ma è meglio la versione originale.

[Pirkiojr]

@Marantzino è uno stile completamente diverso il rock alternativo di zappa con il pop rock anni 60 dei beatles non esiste una migliore o una peggiore essendo due generi diversi

[Marantzino]

@Pirkiojr Ok. Però anche chi fa rock alternativo può essere criticato. Le critiche si devono fare anche a chi ci piace, NON solo a chi non ci interessa. Zappa piace anche a me (posseggo dischi). Ma è troppo comodo sentenziare qualsiasi cosa di Zappa ( o di chiunque altro) come "alternativo-progressive" astenendosi da qualsiasi giudizio critico. E' una cosa che facevo da adolescente, ora non più. Bisogna pure crescere.

[mikebromas]

Frank Zappa gives me spontaneous orgasms

[WackaJawacka]

What a fine, liberating version of this song...Expect it to whip into Alphonso's pancake breakfast.

[eminemdisstopia]

A wise man once told me: You can't make a yolk-o (Yoko) without breaking some eggmen

[senorvolasco]

@eminemdisstopia A wise man once told me that if you want a joke to work, don't explain the punchline in parentheses.

[eminemdisstopia]

@senorvolasco the parentheses were for nobody but you

[dicembre1984]

Zappa play bLennon!!

a dream!!

[liamrockgunner]

super

[jimiscnc]

The singer is Ike Willis, who's tenure with Zappa may actually have been the longest of all that played in Zappa's bands.

[kugunga]

who's singing ?

[jgrimsley2000]

Who is singing here? Is this Napolean Murphy Brock?

[EurynomusBH]

@jgrimsley2000 & @kugunga I think it's Ike Willis.

[missdoppler]

Que bueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen cover man, hecho por Frank Zappa!!! ídolo

[hj179]

Good version

[moondog50002000]

I wish I had a band of Mothers , everyone in this band is sick ! Zappa FTW

[maideniac94]

@moondog50002000 I think when he did this cover he wasn't with the mothers of invention, but with his orchestra...

[Nickgamereviews]

was jim carrey better? Idk..

[92RedRevolver]

@Nickgamereviews he wasn't doing it live...so it's not a fair comparison...

[Aiden057]

Dedicated to BP and Tony Hayward, doing all they and he can do to protect the Gulf Cost Walrus.

[Shackamaxon]

@Aiden057 LOLZ!! Yeah those Gulf Coast Walruses need all the help they can get.

[MrMariodave]

sounds like the pitch is slightly of on this video

[korelaful]

great cover!

[Squibfire]

this songs cool but i hate the poster, hes a dick

[CatapultYourMom]

Did he lie to you when he promised to pull out?

[Squibfire]
