Good Morning America September 21, 1982

[articsocean]

Values?

[CymroGoch]

He had and didn't even know it when this was recorded.

[webusecom]

thanks cracked

[stomp919]

Pretentious beyond belief. Franks kid and Frank. Stuck up. You bet. Studio Tan still kicks ass though.

[vidform]

Moon Unit looked a lot older than 14 in this interview. She looked like she could have been a lost member of the Go Gos.

[vidform]

In the '80s, it was "oh my god!"

Today it's "OMG."

[GhandiBondage]

did someone write a song about guidos I'm not aware of?

[Riconnaissance]

did you record this with a banana?

[CymroGoch]

@Riconnaissance Hey, I realise you're probably about two years old, but in the olden days, they didn't have fancy mobile phones capable of recording in full hd. You stupid fucking cunt.

[realityisforever]

I love Cracked.

[SploogeForTheWin]

He's so suave.

[TheR88R]

how did these shitty trends take over the country without the assistance of youtube?

[togonumber]

@TheR88R sorry,not following explain.............

[TheR88R]

@togonumber nowadays things like this only reach the rest of the world because of youtube. these people had a viral video in 1982. its impressive.

[togonumber]

@TheR88R FORGOT WHAT U INITIALLY WROTE,REMIND ME PLEASE.

[Akron162]

Frank looks like he just want to get the fuck out of there.

[Mrs0Slats]

Teenagers... Ugh

[jan1080]

Frank Zappa seems helluva sarcastic at the end here :P

[wheedler]

Moon Units are the worst interviewees ever.

[KanyeKnievel]

Someones going to come in here from Cracked and saying "THUMBSZ UPP IF YOU CAME FROM CRAKKED!1!" or someones going to "I QUOTED SOMETHING THEY SAID IN THE VIDEO SO THUMBS ME UP!!!"

[elixlilith]

Cracked!

[KanyeKnievel]

@elixlilith Shut up

[reknowvator11]

after watching this, Im so glad to be black right now

[origamikiller012]

if crack didnt bring you here then well dont fucking read my comment >:(

[CommanderDESU]

We interrupt your regular off topic youtube discussion for an important message:

Lol "Moon Unit"

[paintitredpromotions]

@crxted Sure did! I wrote in Frank Zappa for president, once while he was alive and once after he died. :)

[kingny17]

even though they seemed pretty over the subject they gave pretty ace answers and the reporters asked pretty ace questions

[inechiSAN]

you know what ells got bred out of american culture? native americans.

[timw708]

Frank Zappa makes a STRONG point on the lack of honesty and removal of craftsmanship as values in America. Look how long ago this was. Also, Moon Unit is a pretentious "Val" girl herself. "You don't wanna know, hehe" *Hair flip*

[lokalllize]

bet moon unit was throat deep in cock

[thehapagirl92]

Nobody talks like that here in SoCal anymore.

[zecchinoroni]

@thehapagirl92 Are you sure? Cause where I live they sure do...I mean, obviously this song is a huge exaggeration, but I still hear valley girls all the time.

[ilonka311]

@thehapagirl92 Lmao SoCal... how ironic. I live in LA and, yes, they still talk like that.

[thehapagirl92]

@ilonka311 Really? Not to that extent. At least in OC where I live I don't here that alot.

[ilonka311]

@thehapagirl92 Well, nobody talks to that extent but I still hear a lot of "like" and "omgggggg" lol

[toobularbells]

WOW! I bet Moon hates hot fuckin stupid she was back then.

What a pretentious air-fuckn-head!

[poosaypirate]

all in all, americans piss, wine and moan too much about - yep- you guessed it-

americans

they all think " they are not the "real" Americans-

reminds me of something an old friend used to talk about

" the limousine liberals"

[ryanmshepard92]

@poosaypirate EXACTLY! Thinking you belong to some "enlightened minority" and that you don't belong to those "other Americans" is just fucking arrogant. I'm an American, but I'm not going to go out and say, "Americans are so stupid nowadays. Our country is heading down a slippery precipice of doom and it's all your fault!" Also, when exactly was the time period when our country was honest and caring? All I see in our past is racism, sexism, and slavery. If anything, our country has improved.

[poosaypirate]

@ryanmshepard92 almost the same, of COURSE there WAS racism sexism, slavery etc, but tell me which country doesnt have such a past and some are no better today.

SO you dont have to be a flag waving hillbilly or an elitist "im the only one that sees !!!" cry baby liberal to be actually normal, see what needs to be changed, encourage others to make those changes and work on those things yourself.

alienating your neighbors is as constructive as taking an etiquette class to pick your nose & fart

[poosaypirate]

@toneshards in your world. speak for yourself

[SamplingMusic]

she's like OH MY GOD!!

[1981fairwaring]

Sorry! Wine...Mmmm.

[pretorious700]

wow, could this interviewer be any more square?. painful to listen to her.

[wolfganggangwolfe]

@pretorious700 Agreed, specially how she says how values are "installed"

[ThePoopcornMachine]

@wolfganggangwolfe

Well where do they come from if they're not installed? Human beings pass values from one to another, you don't just learn how to be a decent person all by yourself.

[poosaypirate]

@pretorious700 i was actually embarassed for Moons answers, but afterall she was only 14 but her only answer to whats a valley girl was to make sad impersonations of them without actually answering anything

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of ABC News' Good Morning America's Report On Frank And Moon Zappa On Tuesday Morning, September 21, 1982.

[sciarraaa]

What an amazing video! "we're reaching the point of cultural pollution"

[49jubilee]

before this SILLY SONG people didn't know what Valley girl meant and that insipid teen sound wasnt around --NOW KIDS USE IT ALL THE TIME!!! ---Iike i said before, we haven't left the 80s much---music just more vulgar,;;;;; thats all----and Zappa looks stoned as usual

[devolve42]

@49jubilee You're either an exquisitely ridiculous idiot, or a low-grade troll. 

[pretorious700]

@49jubilee Zappa never did drugs, unlike your parents apparently.

[1981fairwaring]

@pretorious700 Wrong!..Zappa Smoked, Drunk fine Vine and, drank Coffee Daily. Not the Big hard stuff though. If he did he would be normal.

[ddddaaaavvvv]

He was soooo good at interviews!

[JoseTwitterFan]

An intelligent civilization dies because of this song. LMFAO

[AmericanEvita]

Thank you for this bit of nostalgia from the 80's.

[exodyssey]

Zappa is right again. Honesty is rare...

[MyInnerEyeMike]

This video displays all the typical "Zappa-isms" that rub me wrong. First of all, Moon Unit is talentless. She has no musical, or any other artistic ability. All the Zappa's act like they're so much smarter, and so much better than everyone. If you don't get their joke, or like their stupid music, you must be ignorant. Notice how Moon could barely answer a question here, yet she's gonna put down people because of the way they talk. Zappa always liked to cash in on satire. V.G. was no exception.

[flyingV1043]

What's a Valley girl? Really intellectually stimulating question.

[pretorious700]

@MyInnerEyeMike It may have something to do with the questions being too retarded to warrant a serious answer. And yes, the Zappas were about 1000 times smarter than you.

[bongolicious]

Koolstrike these are great
