  • Sure, but he wasn't attempting to imitate Beefheart either. One thing's for certain, Willie the Pimp isn't supposed to be sung like you're the happiest guy on earth.

  • Pretty good.

    Is hurt by the absence of Capt. Beefheart though.

  • @Thewonkandfriends You are hurt by the absence of the Captain, but my favorite version of this song is actually one on which Ike Willis was featured on vocals ... in 1984.

  • It'd be so weird knowing that Frank Zappa was your dad.

  • @Thewonkandfriends And by the absence of Sugarcane Harris' fiddle.

  • @Thewonkandfriends yeeh but the nigga dude does pretty well :D

  • NEVER...EVER DO THIS TUNE WITH OUT- DON VAN V!!!!! no mas...

    BUT I LUV DAT SG!

  • zo worden ze niet meer gemaakt.

  • I think Zappa Plays Zappa would become at least 30% better if Dweezil grew his father's signature moustache and patch.

  • A great reimagining of a great piece. The keyboard gal came and sat next to me after their set supporting Dream Theater (Prog Nation 2009). I left her alone.

  • People who say "It's hurt by the absense of Capt. Beefheart" clearly don't understand that this song was a part of Frank's repertoire that was performed by many of frank's bandmates

  • @TheGrotusMaximus That is not Vinnie
