What a wonderful time: when you could be politically incorrect wrt homosexuality and not immediately find yourself out of a job and the target of a pink lynch mob. Someday historians will write about that long-gone period with sad fondness: "Once, Americans believed in free speech...then that all changed..."
Not at all, mate. An easy mistake to make, seeing that the audio is not entirely clear. I'm just one of those Zappa freaks who looks into all this stuff, when I could be doing something productive, like making a living :)

The original Weird Al. Frank's daughter, Moon Unit, performed oral sex on Frank after each show. His political songs were a ploy to incite rage from the right wing radicals so that he could masturbate to the press clippings. He went to a Silly Putty factory and asked them to make a 200-foot long ball to flatten over the thousands of pages of Sunday comics he taped together. They said "no" so he made Moon Unit have sex with the Silly Putty President and pass on herpes.
zappa is probely the most funnyist textman who havde livde, and at the same time the most musiscal man ever lived. heard at the last of his living he walkt the beach picking up wood from the see just to put electric in it to hear what it sound as. of cours if ju have a multidollarstudio at home, what to do hehe
Maybe homosexual is just such a homosexual word that I like to write homosexual. Or maybe homosexuals are just so obssessed with telling us all how homosexual they are, it makes me laugh. It's a bit like black people or muslim people going on and on and on about their blackness, muslimness, homosexualness....I find it fucking hilarious. Hence the repetition...because it seems to me as a heterosexual who isn't muslim or black that that is all these jokers like to talk about. Hahahahahaha.
Don't get me wrong; I loved Zappa since I heard "Absolutely Free" in 1967. He shaped the way I think more than any teacher or preacher ever did. But I was dismayed when FZ did songs like this or "Bobby Brown." This is a man who wrote a song 40 years ago that said "There will come a time when you won't even be ashamed if you are fat?" What happened to that sort of tolerance. I don't find "He's So Gay" funny at all. FZ's Mothers material was much funnier and smarter.
Yes I've seen plenty of TV. "The Young and the Restless" is a show that hasn't had a gay character on it in the 28 years that I've watched it. Just because gays have made progress in being more accepted (although this month's election makes one wonder if that is true,) doesn't excuse a dumb song like this. Especially when performed by someone of FZ's intellect.

If god doesn't punish these homosexuals for their homosexuality then what is the punishment for being homosexual? Is homosexuality a sin or not? I mean, in the koran it says that homosexuals are sinners. Homosexuals are called sinners in the other books which talk about sin too. So, why doesn't someone in America get on the stage and tell these homosexuals that homosexuality is not right? Homosexuals deserve to be given the chance to stop their homosexuality, don't you agree? If homosexuals.....
I don't think this song is very good because all the singers are acting like homosexuals and they can't all be homosexuals....can they? Is everyone in America a homosexual?
xheartshapebox- it was love at first hear for me- but maybe your teacher had to listen to a few songs before reaching that point-teachers cant really adveritise liking someone who is so politically honest
we were talking about frank in my music class today. The teacher announced that she felt zappa was an aquired taste, that not alot of people can listen to him and enjoy his music...
i found this really hard to take as (in my opinion its not true), the man is a musical genius, his energy and presence shits on most of the music around today.
He's the one who told him about it and showed it to him. Alice Cooper once said that he saw Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa jam together once and Frank was playing stuff that made Jimi's jaw drop in amazement.

tell the roy buchanan live in austin video they didn't believe me.
Jimi was GREAT but a bit overated, Frank, Jeff Beck, Roy Buchanan AND Steve Vai could play with him ANY DAY
can someone explain to me why this guy is a legend. i'm not trying to be sarcastic i really want to know. i've looked at like 20 videos of his and....am i missing something? the concepts of his song structures are neat but...i don't think they're necessarily legendary. he's kinda funny i guess but based on the amount of people that love him i expected a lil more.
You had to be there at the beginning before Frank became fixated on Junior High humour... Try searching for MOTHERS OF INVENTION ... Trouble Coming Every Day ...
20 videos is nothing when you consider this guy recorded 60 or so albums. Such an artistic fertility alone makes him a legend. He explored so many musical regions I don't know of one single person that likes _all_ Zappa stuff. He always cared more about the art than compelling to the mass audience anyway. Add to that, that he was one of the best guitar players ever and probably _the_ smartest guy in the showbusiness and you've got your answer.
Well, this song doesn't sound like Led Zeppelin or Hendrix at all, but if you listen to his earlier songs you're going to find more similarities. If you like Jimi Hendrix I think you might like "Muffin Man" or "Willie the Pimp"
