Why don't you like me? - Frank Zappa

[MsVillalobo]

Comparado ao Michael jackson, Frank Zappa é uma merda!!! Uma bosta com o cu cagando LSD!

[petermcintyre100]

First time I've heard this. Yes quite funny. I felt though, although expertly executed, the formula of the song had been used on numerous occasions in earlier ventures. He became a 'lampooning' specialist that's for sure.

[watchORlisten]

@petermcintyre100 Absolutely agree.He seemed to have a formula. Apostrophe (')" was my first Zappa experience.Humor, intellect and jam...all in one.I'll admit that I was one of those who wanted more of "Shut Up 'n Play Yer' Guitar".But I acquired the patience to listen more closely.Oh, man...The dude could just plain ass jam when he settled in.

[tall32guy]

I wonder if Michael had ever heard this song and what he thought of it. LOL

[BigNeonGlitterGirl]

2 Fuckin' funny!

[daemn0]

what a burger breath of fresh air!!

[ThecAkEIsAliE41]

I just noticed "Burger Breath" is on M.J's shirt...

[RollingPeople97]

Lando Callrisian!

[RollingPeople97]

My first foray into Mr Zappa and... well... em... clearly an aquired taste.

[ziggerzag101]

@RollingPeople97 Stick with it, you shall be well rewarded.

[RollingPeople97]

@ziggerzag101 Yeah, i listened to a track called Bobby Brown!! Amazingly crude and funny! Didn't realise anyone was as full on lyrically back then. I'll stick with it.

[bckm54]

@RollingPeople97 I wanted to do a full orchestral and choral version of that, and Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?, complete with the London SYmphony and Mormon Tabernacle Choir... But somehow, I didn't think the Choir would do "secular" songs like those... :)

[aristotle358]

@RollingPeople97 Try the album Overnite Sensation; in particular the tracks 50/50, Zombie Woof, I am the Slime, and Montana. Don't let your "first foray mito Mr Zappa put you off. I'm a fan but even I am not too keen on what was your first experience but I guaruntee you will like some of the tracks I have mentioned. Apostrophe is another good album.

[jamesdfortier]

@RollingPeople97 if you're a musician, you have the ability to enjoy it. Zappa's yellow shark album was top of the classical charts. He always had the BEST talent on stage with him, no matter if it was titties or political commentary, zappa was bang on in everything he did.

[colouredfreeways]

i also like poo

[markmarktarmann]

hey i'm just glad my son didn't win the weekend with his highness at neverboingboing land. some pepsi or mcdonald's promo in So. cal. the early 90's. on the other hand, i could have sued the freak for a lotta dough. i'm sure he'd have paid fer the therapy too. . takin' it a step further than even zappa would go.gotta gimme some cred 4 that.. here i'll say it for ya. "u r fuckin sick dude". yes i am. hee hee.

[markmarktarmann]

because mj was so ridiculous. by choice. sort of inviting "ridicule".

[BA5966]

Never heard this one before and although I don't particularly love the music, I believe it's the best piece I ever heard taking the piss out of Michael Jackson. LMFAO Zappa had a knack like no one else for cutting through the crap and hitting the nail on the head.

[rgaleny]

Don't you think the joker laughs at you?

[DeuceWayne420]

I like frank zappa but why would he be so hateful towards michael for a cheap laugh?

thumbs down.

[SouthernCross33]

Where are the musos who can write like this today?

[bgumbyguitar]

THat's right a Box-O-Turds

[NewPathsPsychology]

The best band you never saw in your life ... awesome stuff

[AtheistCitizen]

thanks for the reminder of his MJ song. [even if its been here on yt for 3+ yrs]

[ThecAkEIsAliE41]

@Bedroomscenesmovie He says "you take the monkey, I'll take the llama" not rhino.

[themigtyboosh]

Ok listen to this song then listen to "Tell me you love me" by Frank Zappa... Theyre different versions. Its amazing.

[annabatarowicz]

fukin funny

[somethingdiffereable]

So why did people think that "little sissy" michelle jackson was a freak? I thought he/she was a very attractive she/male.

[virtureel]

Qui aime bien châtie bien ;-)

[Hotshotdrummer23]

i love Zappa

[mcrhythm2]

Ya it is. Now It's all the doctors fault. Get the whole story!

[Mascha500]

omg that is not fine

[Xtoast]

I'll be black,

Jack

[BedroomScenesMovie]

"You take the monkey, I'll take the rhino!" Oooh, Wild Man Fischer reference! :-)

[herrdruhl]

@13KittyKatLolLove13 sheesh, calm down....

[NolikargAven]

crazy shiiit

[btyremanable]

@13KittyKatLolLove13 lol ok

[SouthernCross33]

@13KittyKatLolLove13 The comment you made " MJ fans can kill!!! i'll track you down" is something i'd expect from someone who is a Micheal (i molest children) Jackson fan.

[btyremanable]

@13KittyKatLolLove13 this was written WAY before MJ died, so it's o.k. you can't track me down, zappa fans can kill too

[LeesaGio]

He thinks he looks good to you...Go Frank! May he R.I.P....Frank that is.

[AlanMcKennaVideos]

This song instantly makes me happy whenever I hear it

[6789drummerboy]

this is so fucking funny! lol

[rdnzl1]

Lando Calrissian! This band KILLS! Saw them live. Amazing!

[7Beyonder]

"And Jermaine's a Negro..a negro, a negro"....

Im black, but I had to laugh at that one.

Zappa could be unbelievably vicious. But so on point.

[MongoTheLloyd]

@7Beyonder HAHAHAHAHA. He wasn't vicious. He mocked everyone. The human race leaves much to mock.

[ossiorn]

@7Beyonder

I think he´s pointing out that Jermaine hasn´t had all that cosmetic surgery to hide his heritage.

Zappa it seems to me wanted black people to be proud of who they are and not try to alter who they are.

Of course there shouldn´t be a stereotype of what a black person is or how they should behave also,but what I think Zappa is doing is here is commenting on is when black people feel the need to go out of their way to change,but yes it's a vicious satire.

[7Beyonder]

@ossiorn

I can dig it.

[Saskatchewan00]

@7Beyonder If we all laughed at words like that, it would make racism a lot harder to express.

[maryfay53]

@7Beyonder Best laugh I had all day. Miss the guy.

[MrZeldasmagic]

PoTato HeaDed wombat

[PandaJungle]

why do you call him potato head????

[SnakeMcPlisken]

@PandaJungle

Interchangeable noses.

[5mralbert]

@PandaJungle I DID NOT KNOW THAT FRANK ZAPPA DISLIKED MICHAEL JACKSON,I DONT THINK THAT MICHAEL JACKSON EVER DISRESPECTED FRANK ZAPPA,SO...

[PandaJungle]

@5mralbert calm down its just a simple question!

[Beatnikzombie]

@5mralbert Seriously?

[squeezeflo]

@PandaJungle m Look at the picture. Then look at some old pics of Michael.

[PandaJungle]

@squeezeflo i know, i know toy story! right? i posted this 7 moths ago.

[PandaJungle]

@squeezeflo i know, i know toy story! right? i posted this 7 moths ago.

[PandaJungle]

@squeezeflo i know i know toy story! right? i posted this 7 months ago...

[suzesrc]

@PandaJungle oh damn how silly why why why ask Frank

[aristotle358]

@PandaJungle The children's toy "Mr. Potato Head" enabled children to change his facial features by putting noses eyes ears etc on the plastic potato. He's taking the piss out of Jacko due to Jacko's penchant for adjusting his face. And let's face it (excuse the pun) but M J looked better with what he was born with than when he fucked about with his features.

[opheliarises]

@PandaJungle  Mr. Potato Head....you can exchange features...eyes, ears, mouths..and mostly...NOSES! Get it...lol....!

[elsajo]

Which Lp is this song on?

[SnakeMcPlisken]

@elsajo

Broadway the hard way.

[elsajo]

@SnakeMcPlisken

Thank you! :D

[BuffaloVoice]

@elsajo "Broadway The Hardway".

[elsajo]

[psftrules]

[JonP1961]

The sound effects, like at 0:03 and 0:36, are as much fun as the lyrical content.

[tyrulvsson]

humor

[JonP1961]

@tyrulvsson

does it belong in music? ;)

[tyrulvsson]

@JonP1961 exactly! : D

[Zappamaniac]

This should be part of the soundtrack of that movie... what was it called? Oh, yeah: "This is shit"!

[Chetto888]

landooo calrissiaaaan

that part always cracks me up

[analyzingfunny]

Great song. it takes me back. I called the Barking Pumpkin hotline, and I SWEAR Frank answered. It was him, dammit, for real. I asked him about the Joes Garage artwork and its meaning. He said it means what you what it to mean.

[fatfreddiescat]

Give me oxygen.

[methodicalrms]

[xwarx1000]

'Hes soooooooo white..."

[meepshizzleyams]

im a pretty big michael jackson fan and i still laughed my ass off when i heard this. zappa never disappoints

[73mandala]

A nd he thinks he looks good to you....BAHAHAHAHA Zappa was so right and so good, such a pity he passed,he would've been making excellent music till he was 100.....and Germain's a negro hahaha Zappa you were the greatest...read this pamphlet ooh ahh

[DimensionsofChange]

Frank would have had a field day over the child MJ molestation controversy.

[cunterkooter]

he looks like the ape chick from planet of the apes.

[ZupraVisor]

Autotune?! xD 2:57

[sunrisesunset51]

I am my sister ... and JERMAINE IS A NEGRO!! (a neeeeegro, a neeeeegro) "I thought he looked good... what happened to you?!?" LMAO

[RamBozo3]

Billie Jean is not Kirkpatrick.. Classic.

[rere989375]

[Rajhoul]

AND JERMAINE IS A NEGRO!!!!

[motorwawt]

you can just tell frank got a ton of amusement out of making the band try to fit in unbelievably long names into the beat in the 'billie jean' section

[DGoldmay]

i hate my father i hate my father this song is so awesome

[73mandala]

cunt photoshop hilarious ha ha

[giNgkoC]

[Cambodia69]

2:27-2:30 LOL!

[FiccaPuzzaRecords]

I want to play this to every single Jacko fan and then spit in their face. It really fucks me off people saying Michael was a great father blah blah - HE WASN'T THEIR FREAKING FATHER. They are completely white. check out Tornado Coleman he has a song about Jacko on myspace

[MsDimplecheeks]

You obviously need to get a life lol

[21Kyzix12]

i love the video description about mr. potato head. frank zappa owns btw

[cristianstoppa2003]

Remember the film FARINELY. He was castrated too. LIke Cafarely.

[SnakeMcPlisken]

Top comment! ;)

[imyourtrash]

He's white, Jim.

[prestonparish]

I'll. be black.

[fadethetrade]

michael jackson was castrated at 11 yrs old.They used to do that to the choir boys in the renaissence period to keep their singing voices as sopranos.

[yowzephyr]

fadethetrade - Whoa! I never thought of that! You're right of course. They did castrate boys so they would keep their beautiful high voices in adulthood. Such a singer was called a castrato. I'm serious. There's actually some old 78 rpm records of old castrati singers performing. That's how recent it was!

I wouldn't put it past that devil Joe Jackson to have had that done to Michael.

[LagBoy86]

he looks like a monkey oO

[yowzephyr]

Frank Zappa is dead. Michael Jackson is dead. It seems like everybody is dead.

[lilandrubke]

I'm still alive

[yowzephyr]

You are, aren't you. Geez. What the hell was I thinking?

[DimensionsofChange]

@yowzephyr Thats not true you still the joy of Eminem and Vanilla ice and Lady Gaga! Fun-Fun! Yes I'm being sarcastic I'll stop now because the truth is depressing me.

[olflatop]

@yowzephyr Perhaps that could change if they'd just turn off their tv's...

[imyourtrash]

His nose is deflated

He's oxygenated

And he thinks he looks good to you

[123jalapenos]

if you ever noticed michael jackson has boobs

[tbenjaminkx42]

lmao. "A negro! A Negro! A negro! lmao

[dhjdhj]

The song is Frank's "Tell Me You Love Me" 1rst done in 1970 on the album "Chunga's Revenge", then again on the 1980 album "Tinseltown Rebellion" (best version).

Just subsituted "M.J. lyrics

[SnakeMcPlisken]

For real?

Interesting bit of trivia :O)

[DemonicSymphonic]

@dhjdhj Totally. I realized that too hehe

[DemonicSymphonic]

@dhjdhj i noticed that and was like LOL!

[mobbingdick]

That's right, a box o' turds!

[Darkkorners]

hahahahaha "a negro, a negro" OMG that shits funny this the first zappa song I ever heard

[thespewking]

@Darkkorners lol first song... ONE big road ahead

[123jalapenos]

wierd

[BrainiacFingers]

Well, what do you know? I just listened to it again, and you're right. It's out of sync. The hi-hat comes in a fraction too early.

[bnork]

to zap644: i'm talking about how this song is patched together from many live renditions and when ike says "I'm so bad!" it's out of sync rythmically--HORRIBLY

[BrainiacFingers]

Sounds perfectly in sync to me. The chant of "he's bad! He's bad!" sounds like an edit that's had its beginning slightly clipped and therefore seems rushed, but Ike's "I'm so bad" is perfectly in time.

[zap644]

I think that's part of the idea, but whether it's patched together from many live performances, i works for me.....sounds like the cut from Broadway the Hardway....had that in my car the day MJ died - was very happy about that, BTW

[SnakeMcPlisken]

Yup. This is from broadway the hardway :)

[anarchyboy2]

will they both meet somewhere know? I would love to listen to their chat!

[bnork]

funny song, though, at 1:01. features one of the worst edits in the zappa catalog--i'm surprised he released it

[zap644]

WTF are you talking about?

[johnflea]

RIP!

[puppiefaces]

why are all the zappa videos deleted!!! Why are some people such kill joys!? I REALLY want to hear Brown Shoes Dont Make It. It was our college theme song..

[crnkmnky]

@puppiefaces it's possible that Warner Music is deleting Zappa videos, but I haven't looked much. come to think of it, there's not many uploads of this song or Inca Roads.

ironic: Warner Records, who Frank (and Prince) despised, now owns Rykodisc and thus all of Frank's catalog. side note: Prince deleted his videos without help from the labels ;(

[ProfetaParanoia]

"Billy Jean is not Mr.Bob" hahaha. pure gold.

[sonofpissjuice]

lmao

[Falumpaset]

what year was this recorded?

[SnakeMcPlisken]

I believe it was 1988.

[laletemelgarete]

this is from Broadway the hard way..1988

[RSVPBlogger]

@Falumpaset - Recorded 3 March, 1988 at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago IL.
