0:38-1:00 I swear it sounds like Frank was trying to rip Captain Beefheart a new asshole. Apparently, they allegedly had a falling out around this time.
@patchchrist It can be, they were good friends, but they got some problems in their relantioship but Zappa always supported him, anyway i remember reading that they had some problems in the Congo Fury tour and that Beefheart said to Zappa that he was the best singer he had ever had (true).
This video didn't get much airplay on MTV. They didn't like the satire of having Reagan on an electric chair. This is the only MTV type video Zappa ever did.
If the first verse is about Xero bars like Vanilla Ice & Eminenema, then the second verse is about Oreos like Tiger Woods, Barack Obama, and Colin Powell. lol
Frank hit the nail on the head...Just be yourself folks and you'll be ok!
Remember seeing this on Beavis and Butthead years ago, they thought it sucked and changed channels only to get The Europeans with The Animal Song which they thought was even worse lol!
great to see one of the first and original music videos ever produced and shown on M-TV when MTV was in its infancy.Frank was always first with everything in pop culture.I once heard he was the first to use a wah wah pedal on his guitar solos before Eric clapton !
I recall hearing somewhere that MTV didn't even show this video on tv because it has Reagan in some electric chair looking thing and the song lyrics have the n-word in it. MTV has always been pussy
I thought they showed it.maybe I'm mixing it up with his 1981 halloween concert at the palladium in NY.I know for sure that was simulcast on MTV,My friend recorded it from home when I atttended the concert.
@GrandmaOnDrums Interesting how MTV and VH1 started playing this after Reagan left The White House in 1989; and they faded out the n-word. Subsequently, Beavis and Butthead made fun of it on their show.
@GrandmaOnDrums But they play slutty women who think they are talented and terrible rappers who talk only about money, sex, drugs and how great they are. So messed up.
Anyone see the irony of zappa taking the piss out of michael jackson (who died at 50?) Zappa died young from smoking but he never wrote songs about that. Don't get me wrong - I am a massive zappa fan
me too it was one of the weirdest videos i'd ever seen, still is. i recall i saw it shortly sometime before news came of his death, i think it was in '93 or '94, of course later on i came to appreciate Zappa's music when i became culturally aware.
No, Frank Zappa is just saying we use what we got. Because one day in the feature when we are all gone, it will be someone else in charge of this world. What he is trying to say is life goes on forever. Thats what he meant @ 2:32 - 2:42. We use what we have to survive translates to, You are what you is.
