Frank Zappa - Thingfish - You Are What You Is

[catfishbates1]

I really liked the THING FISH I had it on records and now I have it on CD...cool

[BedroomScenesMovie]

I first heard this version (instead of the original one) on "Cheap Thrills", the first Zappa album I owned... and great googily moogily, did I not have any fucking idea what I was hearing. Nignint?? Mammy nuns?!

[superkulmedkniv25]

Not even hardly

[CH3MIS7RY]

Take good care of that ash.

[ebonics4everyone]

I like the funk version of this w/ the rapping best. This was probably one of the first raps ever recorded.

[Parkwoodparkenfarker]

"Unless science do somtin' bout it."

[StormsongK]

@Parkwoodparkenfarker "I know dey workin' on it."

[ANDROLOMA]

I am the Thingfish, goo goo kechoo

[justdoit42380]

This dude was thinking so far out side of the everyday thought process for his time that it almost scares me. A true musical genious that must have at all times been releasing his inner weirdo through his music. I remember being a young teenager listening to a bootleg copy of Thingfish that I had and it just blew my mind how techniqual the songs were compared to most of the other music that was out during Zappas Erra. Zappa was the mad musical scientist of his time.

DA eeble prince still at woik! I seed it own jeesy benturum show. Day puttin it in da flu seremsis, ta make us all patada's. Wid backwoids awms n' legs n' sh]t!!!

Conspeeraseem tharee sayd it, den it be correct! n' we all in da' same dayam boat!

[TadRapidly]

@broodyart woo-wee, look atchoo, boy! Chained thru da nipple an' evry cotdam thang. You a sick white muthafuckah. ain't ya?!

[broodyart]

@TadRapidly Sicker than ya' know! The thingfish story was about prisoners at san quetan? bieng slipped poison.So I saw conspiracy theory, this woman flies up to say we are going to be poisened on purpose, DR. names the poison. It's in our flu shots!! They call it a "preservative" An antibiotic & antiviral has to be preserved from what...bacteria??? Guess I'm as sick as my environment, no chains,pearces or tat's though. Love the way the old time blacks talked! sister..."sulsta"! rare speech now.

[TadRapidly]

@broodyart yeah, FZ knew the deal. its absolutely true. The "preservative" they use in "vaccines" (vaccines actually ruin your bodies natural defenses) contains MERCURY. The gov is whippin' up all kinds of stuff and FZ was right about aids, too. It was created in a test tube and designed to wipe out certain parts of the population.

[Lizweedus]

Youz a winp, she's a shrew...got dat?

[SmurfAndBuffalo]

This verision was on the compilation 'cheap thrills', and I could only ever find the original on the album of the same name. I prefer this version SO MUCH! MERCEDEEZ BAENZ!

[SUNSHINESBETER]

[LadyofWar1980]

This song applies to quite a few people I know!

[norfolknchance100]

PEOPLE THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE

[freakofZappaalways]

"procede with caution ...the knife maybe open" It's really hard to pick a favorite album...........Frank has so many great one's out there,but when i introduce Zappa to someone that has'nt ever listened to Him before or much...this is the album i choose.

[mattbastardsen]

Thingfish = the Kingfish, Amos and Andy show, too old for most of you to have seen

[SockbatReplica]

I love Thingfish easily one of Franks most offensive albums.

[Chesterton7]

favorite

[noodlam]

One Adam 12 see the Mammy.......

[LadyAltheaIsMe]

[CapnWack]

[IBETHISNAMEISTAKEN]

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite records. Especially good while playing Project Gotham Racing 4.

[ohnodevo]

Tnx for posting this, Jok3r115

This and Sheik Yerbouti.....great albums....then again, all Zappa's stuff is great. :-)

[Naddig74]

and yoiu really need to read the notes along with it at least once, really to have any idea whats going on :P

'He learned to play golf,

and he got a good score,

now he says to himself,

I ain't no NIGNINT no more'

Makes me think of Tiger Woods tbh.

[DNotes06]

Ain't DAT DE TROOF!!!.....

[norfolknchance100]

@Naddig74 to be extremely honest you think of niggers i think

[Naddig74]

@norfolknchance100 what are you a fucking mind reader? Don't tell me what I think, asshat!

[norfolknchance100]

@Naddig74 yeah how did you guess potatoe head do you know what you are,you are what you is,a fucking retard mug!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrazyDaveZ]

@Naddig74

How true.

[edchuckndoug]

@Naddig74 Ignant

[Naddig74]

@edchuckndoug dude, it's nignint. Read the sleeve notes.

[DimensionsofChange]

@Naddig74 Now it's the other way around white people are acting like they is black.

[rwk1983]

@DimensionsofChange yeah, isn't that in the first verse of the song already

[DimensionsofChange]

@rwk1983 Well I guess, if black people owned the rights to the blues, I guess Elvis can be seen as the white rapper of the 50s.

[TheSpecial1WV]

sucks

[Jok3r115]

ok fag why would you search for a thingfish video if you thought that it sucked?

[TheSlimySeconds]

The concept of the album would make a good novel idea, or a movie =D My fav album, thanks for posting.

[norfolknchance100]

@Jok3r115 PMSL NICELY SAID

[tepples]

@Jok3r115 I searched for [ You Are What You Is tiger woods ] to see if someone else made the connection to the second verse, and I like the original version better than the version with the Thing-Fish voiceovers.

[papalazerus22]
