Never lost me, I was along for the ride.

Katie sounds like Karen Carpenter

We are playing this song in December for are 7th and 8th grade concert

One of the best pieces of FZ, magic ipnotic ...

You can understand why people at the time fainted when he performed. The energy he must've projected!

Frank was into doo-wop, and 50s blues artists. He was at the forefront of psychedelia with his debut release, Freak Out. But not the drug induced kind.

I laughed so hard the first time I heard this- so funny! Fun to dance to, also.

The 70s were my high school and college years so I am partial to that music, also. I agree about the 90s grunge sound as reminiscent of the 70s harder rock sound! I also can tell when artificial music is implemented and can appreciate it if it seems appropriate to the composition and not just because they are not talented enough to play the instrument or they do not have the personnel available to do so. like your reactions and comments!

Did I mosh with you? This song is such fun! Really very passive/aggressive, lyrically though. The video relates to something to do with Jack Black, I think.

Symphony Sid Page on violin, a whole lot of magic there!

Hi Rob, I see my post from a year ago and now I see you haven’t posted in a year. I hope you are well. In the past year things have changed and I want to leave you an example of that change. It’s a cover of this very song. I hope you look in and see it. There is hope for great music/singing. On this song and her whole catalog, there is no autotune or pitch correction. She was twenty when she recorded this, same age as Karen. Enjoy. Joe ruclips.net/video/J95lfJqo9VY/видео.htmlsi=ECDcfOvp9cOpqmLj .

Rob, take a speech lesson.

10:36 - drum beat influenced by Bulgarian folk music

Justin Timberlake?

Nailed the vibe and the comments were spot on.

The Petersens are great. We saw them perform at the Little Opry Theater in Branson on our anniversary a few years ago. 👍🏻👏🏻

Love how you dissect Carpenters songs Rob. Hope you can check out "A Song for You" & " Rainy Days and Mondays" by Carpenters

Olistic sound

Beautiful fade out.

Thought this was murr from impractical jokers for a second.

Man, you ain't heard this tune before? You don't watch Tom and Jerry cartoons? This song is famous. One of the hardest tunes to play on the piano. Val is a monster! One of the greatest concert pianists in the world! She eats Liszt for breakfast!

The studio version is the worst version at that. This song live is twice as good

A masterpiece, thanks

pogo is the goat. if you dont get it, you dont get it. everyone else does. to answer you question the genre is mastermixing. Taking anything and twisting it into a masterpiece.

I wonder if Joe Pruessner had a sister or cousin named Kathleen or Kathy? I had a music teacher at College Hill Elementary around 1973-1974 who was named Miss Pruessner and I'm pretty sure she told us that Joe Walsh was her cousin...

Hiromi wawwwww❤❤❤

Just love when you refer to the greatest pianist of the 21 century as " Valentina something... I'm sure she's pretty good", yeah no shit she is. Go watch her third movement of Beethoven 27 , just to make sure. With over 60 million views it may as well be one of the most viewed piano videos on RUclips, and surely the greatest ever performance of that particular piece❤

3:43 the song is about people around Ludacris, journalists, busybodies, etc. harrasing him about his business. He answers their questions in a nothing kinda way, I guess. Cause it's none of their business.

Non-musicians are often puzzled by the "weirdness". But musicians can't miss Zappa. They immediately see the genius. What a composer. WHAT A BAND! You should see performing this LIVE, as if it was nothing, even joking, dancing, etc.

A great, but maybe uncharacteristic Hicks track from their last album (the only one where the lineup included a drummer).

I love this family and their music.

The basic track was recorded live for a tv show (that was never broadcast). It was originally an instrumental that was scored. Once he had a band that could perform it, it developed into what you hear here. The guitar solo is from a different show, a month later.

I turned this off when you questioned Al's vocals. You're full of it

Oh wow thank you! So that’s the “secret” : keep listening to the tune 30, 40 times to get your ears trained! Ahhh….I’d been watching my fellow players and couldn’t understand how they played the tunes just like that without sheet! Thank you very much! And I m trying your way and it works !

I watched the first when it came out and almost everyone never heard of it. The second was a bit of a “pile on” and word had spread by then. but the third was better. Both Mimi and Liz were fabulous

You should check zappa's song "fifty-fifty". Features the great electric violin of Jean luc Ponte.

I was rather confused and unimpressed by this album when I first heard it. It now remains one of my favourites.

nice job. thank you both for taking time to talk and post this

interesting imaging but the ufo i saw made no sound lol

its like he took the guitar solo, and made another song out of it: black napkins

pretty good?? george duke was the man! on keyboards

Brian gave me some guitar lessons in Austin in 1994. He was a great guitar instructor. I'm now a guitar teacher and still perform gigs live. Brian's guitar playing was always impressive and his song choices were unique.

Who is this bonehead. What arrogance

George Duke on vocals and keyboards. Another musical genius. Zappa didn't do drugs. He wasn't against them, just for himself and his band. You can't play this shit stoned and do it justice.

Upvoted before listening because it's Inca Roads, one of my top favorite FZ creations.

Programmed drums....oh dear

The piano had to smoke a cigarette after that

I forgot to add, I was 14 or 15 when I saw them with my brother's ex. They came out on stage at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium (lousy acoustics) with a tropical sunset backdrop and a few potted palm trees placed at the periphery, and then amazed the audience. They played mostly the songs from Last Train to Hicksville. I was a Beatles/Beach Boys/Kinks/Yardbyrds/Buffalo Springfield/Jimi Hendricks/Woodstock/Led Zeppelin, etc. baby, but I had a weekend jazz pianist mother who taught me to appreciate jazz in the back of my mind at the time. I instantly gravitated to Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks. It was different but familiar as well.

Zappa is known for inserting abrupt time signature changes here and there, and the weird sounds and vocals, which maybe comes from his Spike Jones influence

Always, always do Frank live. The only way to experience him.
