In an interview Zappa said he had urinary problems for years, long before his prostate cancer --of which he eventually died-- was detected. Could it be that this was troubling him as early as 1978 or was it just an incredible premonition?
@canthinkverywell it was just the translation of the title into German. By the way: The answer to that question needs for parents is complicated because they need to explain their kids how kids are produced. That's why Zappa sings that song.
Ike's addiction is fairly well-known, especially in these years. It is somewhat hard to believe that Ike could get tore up and perform this often very challenging music. An old roommate of mine often played with him in an acoustic Zappa cover band called Project Object and he said that Ike was still doing the hard stuff. So sad.
That particular footage ends right where I cut it and proceeds to a scene that has Frank, in what appears to be a toy store, playing with a talking doll. You can visit the website, dailymotion, to watch the whole film!
first time i saw frank ike was wearing that hat & i was trippin my balls off ike looked like the guy from fat albert that talked funny a webba wabba dooba doo
you never find out why it hurts when he pees. This is going to bother me for sometime. I'll ask George Bush I'm sure he has got infected by many women and dogs in his time.
in retrospect this isn't too funny is it? Zappa had urinary problems for years and the doctors missed his cancer. What a shame. I wonder if the tune was inspired by the difficulties he was having?
Yeah hes great I think someone had a comment bitching about him for some reason. Thats why I put my original comment up. Yeah If you like him you should hear thing fish, he pretty much dominates that whole album lol. If you already have it then you know what im talking about :)
This is by far my favorite Zappa song. It is so fucking hillarious. He was a genious in all of his work. He could make the funniest lyrics sound like such a serious song.
The structure of this song is magnificent. I always wanted to transcribe this for full chorus and orchestra, with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the London Symphony. (I wonder if Boulez might be interested...) :)
Nice. Not the hurting while peeing, but the song.
