Frank Zappa - Father O Blivion

[311Ceriah]

Ainsley Dunbar !!

[jon1carlo]

No Drumagog.

[Zakura616]

I wonder if that's double bass drumming I hear in the beginning of the song? If so that's fucking metal.

[elbay2]

@Zakura616 I would be very surprised.. The drummer was Ralph Humphrey and I don't believe he was a double-bass drummer. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Cheers!

[Jakkomies]

@Zakura616 Back in the days when playing in a succesful band required the musicians to be talented and skilled in their craft, people didn't need to use amazingly overtweaked instruments to play ridiculously challenging songs.

[Bluebonnett52]

Just listen to the stuff happenin' in this tune!!! And not one rap lyric! GENIUS!!!

[Sixstringnoodler]

That groove that starts at 1:23 is simply the hottest thing, all the way through until it fades out. money groove.

[runninlikehell]

there's 1(yeh,just one!!) moron who dislike this song!.. can't believe that!.. whait, lady gaga, jonas brothers,oohh, now i know!.. got it!

[MuIdoon]

Good morning your highness

Oo oo ooo

Good gosh, you're sumptuous

Oo oo ooo

[Squee36]

@MuIdoon *I brought you your snow shoe.

[thetopface]

I know that Jim Gordon played drums on a few songs (if not all) from this album. Was this him?

[rockslavesoft]

@thetopface I think it's Ralph Humphrey.

[looshkin66]

"OLD SAINT ALFONSO WOULD BE PROUD OF ME" he shouted down the block......... Domine vobiscum Et cum spiritum tuo Won't you eat my sleazy pancakes Just for Saintly Alphonzo They're so light and fluffy white We'll raise a fortune by tonight They're so light and fluffy white We'll raise a fortune by tonight They're so light and fluffy brown They're the finest in the town Good morning your highness ooh ooh i brought you your snowshoes ooh ooh

[esbramakopf]

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@esbramakopf fuck off idiot!

[esbramakopf]

@xxxslayerxxx666 yeah you go swear !! i can see you're a cool guy ''slayer 666''

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@esbramakopf lol, i made that when i was 14, and i hate slayer now.....and trolls try to be cool, or just desire attention.....happy trolling!

[esbramakopf]

@xxxslayerxxx666 the point is i just said what i was thinking, and still tink, and you say fuck off idiot what you would not say in real life if you would see me, and thats not just you nobody does that because if people would this whole world would be chaotic.

i'm not asking for a discussion, and i'm not trolling. if you say trolling is speaking out your opinion, then i'm trolling.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@esbramakopf lol....i'm really honest about what i think about other people, plus you seem to be a troll because of your profile and all the comments on your profile....so no i wouldn't have any problem with telling you to fuck off in person! and i said fuck off because of your incredibly stupid comment, this sounds NOTHING like system of a down.....

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@esbramakopf "i'm not asking for a discussion, and i'm not trolling." ummm what do you think is going to happen when you make an incredibly stupid comment? a person will reply, then you will reply back....that makes it a discussion....if you truly felt that way you would've ignored my reply!

[esbramakopf]

@xxxslayerxxx666 must i explain everything to you?

ok when i made the first comment i wasnt looking for a discussion then it happend i just wanted it to end after my second comment then it became a discussion, now this is just stupid.

i dont know of you have been looking well on my account, but i havn't really been active on there the last couple of years, now about saying fuck off behind a screen you little nerd,

[esbramakopf]

@xxxslayerxxx666 its easy to say that you would say fuck off in my face just like i can now say that i would grab a gun and shoot you if you would do that, who could proove you or me wrong... nobody could,

now i'm going to stop having this childish discussion under a frank zappa vid,

have a nice day and i'm not responding anymore how kind, rude or whatever your next comment my be.

bye

(your opinion it doesnt sound like it my opinion it does PERIOD)

[esbramakopf]

@xxxslayerxxx666 and i just checked my profile out and i can onley see positive comments exept one who says ''you're and idiot'', thats 1 comment i can see, the other one about jimi hendrix was a misunderstanding :)

so if thats what you based you troll point on..

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@esbramakopf lol, it sure doesn't seem like you're done since you typed that much!

[Balambambuny]

I think that Serj Tankian had inspired on Frank Zappa for his look XD

[nathanomgnathan]

vice versa

[MrDrumdweeb]

Totally man! The music in that fade was a defining point fr me and got me into latin music. The man is a legend! RIP Mr Zappa

[SubRosaStructure]

"FZ has a habit of fading out on some of the best bits of music

"good morning your highness, I brought you your snow shoes....."

brilliant! "

Totally. Its his trademark. He says its because every single piece of music he's done is a serial. Like a really good mini series that never ends. And on looong pieces like "Packard Goose" you get to hear what it would sound like if those parts continued at length.

[Savvaoff]

Frank Zappa is the man!

In a strange way, I can imagine System Of a Down playing this song..:P

[MetalSweden]

yeah that's right :D:D:D

[gedi23]

FZ has a habit of fading out on some of the best bits of music

"good morning your highness, I brought you your snow shoes....."

brilliant!

[GaryNull]

ralph humphreys on drums kicks fucking ass here

[mwl500]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAHAYAYEHAYH

[rioblancoman]

can't be topped off. what a band.

[fadethetrade]

father vivian oblivion resplendent in his block,was whippin up the batter for the pancakes of his flock,he was looking rather bleary,he forgot to watch the clock cause the night before ,behind the door a leprachan had stroked his smock and that set him off in such a frenzy he sang lock around the crock and he topped it all with a ,as he stumbled on his cock,he was delighted as it stiffened and it ripped right thru his sock LMAO!!!!!!!!

Best lyricist EVER!!!

[funkyjones]

I think it's "stroked his spot"

;)

[fadethetrade]

smock,not spot.i googled it and it's smock.

[funkyjones]

What was the source?

[fadethetrade]

I was at colony records the other day at 47th and broadway and they have 2 zappa songbooks,apostraphe and hot rats! I looked up the lyrics to double check the google lyrics and the songbook also refers it as "stroked his smock" (i guess the leprachaun stroked father vivian oblivions smock while oblivion was making the pancakes. Subversively WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!

[funkyjones]

Thanks for the research trail.

I defer to your superior knowledge!

[looshkin66]

@fadethetrade "OLD SAINT ALFONSO WOULD BE PROUD OF ME" he shouted down the block......... Domine vobiscum Et cum spiritum tuo Won't you eat my sleazy pancakes Just for Saintly Alphonzo They're so light and fluffy white We'll raise a fortune by tonight They're so light and fluffy white We'll raise a fortune by tonight They're so light and fluffy brown They're the finest in the town Good morning your highness ooh ooh i brought you your snowshoes ooh ooh

[elbay2]

@fadethetrade resplendent in his frock, not block!

[fadethetrade]

@elbay2 yeah,Of course I sang it as frock for 35 yrs,I don't know why I typed it block,maybe at the time I wrote the lyrics, I was thinking about the vobiscum (lord be with you) part where he says before it,"as he shouted down the block".And it kinda stuck in my head.

[sonofpissjuice]
