Attributed to the fact that this song was recorded at a way earlier session that came closer to the recording of their previous, still vaguely melodically conventional album than the other pieces recorded for Trout Mask Replica.
Probably the most accessible song off the album. It’s catchy in its own demented way, especially the opening bit. When he randomly goes into “Old Time Religion”, it’s a trip.
+37Dionysos To be honest, if you put this on and everybody started dancing, then that would be a weird scene. I don't think you'd want a room full of people dancing to the captain. Limbs would be flailing arrhythmically and all the girls would look like Sweet Dee from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia whenever she tries to bust a move (which isn't pretty).
Before this song, the album makes you think “this is a joke, they’re making this up on the spot.” But then when you hear this song, its too composed to be random, but still just completely bonkers. Its then that you realize “Holy shit, this whole album is for real.”
I had to force myself to listen to this album 3-4 times (30 yrs ago) only to notice that I was probably musically programmed by local media and society as acceptable at any given time. Every time I listen something in a song will hit me that i hadn't heard before. There's a lot going on in this work of art.
"Holy shit, this album is for real" THANK YOU for this quote. It perfectly captures the experience of listening to the album track by track and running into this banger
I love my deceased parents even more when I play Trout Mask .. I used to play it in my bedroom so LOUD .. I was a teenager, the neighbours, lovely Greek and Italians never complained, late 1960s .. those were the days, hot afternoons in Melbourne with my windows open, now I laugh, the whole street must have heard Beefheart
The first time I heard Captain Beefheart was on Frank Zappa's song Willie The Pimp. I assumed whoever Captain Beefheart was, he was a black guy in his sixties. Blew my mind when I found out he was a young white dude.
For me the Trout Mask is a musical catharsis. As a genius with a moustache already said *A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open*
@@conradmason87 This and Veterans Day Poppy was recorded months before TMR.. but I can see you know that ;).. most likely it was a different studio from where TMR was recorded. Zappa handed Bill a Tele with Gretsch pickup... and turned all knobs on that silverface fender to 10... Bill didnt like that piercing sound at all .. so he says anyway You can clearly hear these two numbers sound different from the rest on TMR, even Dons voice... but Veterans Day Poppy is my soft spot still.. that overlapping fade out/in of the two guitars in the final part.. it gives me the willies after all those years ;)
@@tomasvanecek8626 Moonlight and Veteran's were recorded at Sunset Sound Studios, ten years before Van Halen recorded their debut at that same studio. The fact that Moonlight closes side one and VDP closes out the entire album is some slick sequencing. Zappa knew just where to place those two gems.
It was recorded in one take - from start to finish, by Frank Zappa. Don made his band practice learning and rehearsing the music for about 8 months before they roared into the studio for the single take sprint.
@@mikefelix6338 THIS ! I have the 6-CD Grow Fins.. and on one disc, there is a final rehearsal before they went to the studio, sans vocal... and it is EXACTLY the same what you hear on the album, to a note... unimaginable feat.. so FZ didnt even need to be there.. and he in fact wasnt the Magic Band said he was asleep at the wheel.. luckily he didnt mess with it :) One take.. OMG
ye..it's great! i love how if his singing was in sinc slightly to the right of where it sits it should make more sense but would be 100% less awesome..t's so trippy and raw..magic indeed!
I am a Beefheart fan too, but most of you seem unaware that the second part of "Moonlight on Vermont" was not written by Don. The section (Gimme that) "Old Time Religion" is a traditional gospel song that dates back to the 19th century, and it has been recorded by many other performers including Dolly Parton and Willy Nelson. I must admit though that the Magic Band have created my favourite arrangement.
Body Obtained it's what keeps me from being able to fully get into beefheart. I love the actual playing but can't stand the sound of his voice hence something like peon being one of my favorite songs but wouldn't consider beefheart one of my favorite artists
When you think about it it must be really difficult to make an album. With every track bordering on a total cacophony of noise but beefheart pulls it off majestically
They spent a year in a rented house with no food, practicing 14 hours a day, 7 days a week. They shoplifted in order to eat. What I am saying is real. This is no ordinary album.
What is it that makes this album compulsively listenable ? Once I put it on, I can't take it off ! It's like a combination of Ornette Coleman and Howlin' Wolf having a bad acid trip !
Jeff Tweedy brought me to the Captain. You have to listen to this album at least 10 times for it to soak in. It's like taking your medicine...takes a while to work, but its damn worth the wait. To categorize Captain Beefheart would only defeat his brilliance. You cannot compare CB to anything else...it doesn't exist.
Gotta love a chick who digs her the Beefheart. I used to have a friend who had a pet pillbug named Captain Beefheart. She was the bomb. I had a huge crush on her.
Fun fact - when he sings "Come out to show them", he's referring to the Steve Reich composition "Come Out" from 1966, which, in turn, loops the voice of Daniel Hamm, one of the Harlem Six protestors who were arrested in 1964... referring to his having to puncture his bruise that he received while being abused by guards in prison so he could let the blood come out to prove it. Madlib used a sample of the Reich song in "America's Most Blunted" on Madvillainy, his 2004 collaborative album with MF Doom. (geez, it's a pain to write a long journalistic sentence like this) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Out_(Reich)
Besides the incredible music and extraordinary musicianship, the lyrics are witty and clever. Stunning and magnificent--maybe my favorite Captain Beefheart song, along with "Lick My Decals Off, Baby". ..
The line "come out to show them" was taken from the Steve Reich tape piece" Come Out", which had been issued on Odyssey Records around the same time as this album.
+Michael B Because I have an opinion, it's "obvious" I have not considered all possible options? I guess it can't be that obvious since I've obviously heard that album.
"Mirror Man" was the first Beefheart record I heard - the one with those long bluesy songs. This track, then, sounded excitingly familiar to me, and eased me into the rest of this album - which, as we all know, is the most important work of art ever committed to vinyl.
+Andrew Cliett when I was real young me and my friends would go to a fast food place and buy a soda; we'd then fill up the cup with a mixture of everything from the fountain, a combination we affectionately called "Suicide." This is what I'd view as an equivalent - discordant, unconventional, strange but great.
@@UberSchluh lol this is such an apt description of the Beefheart experience. On paper it seems fucked. But oh my is it glorious once you've been inoculated.
Open the bruise up and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them. come out to show them come out to show them come out to show them come out to show them come out to show them come out to show them come out to show them
I bought this album when it first came out I was fifteen or so.... at a record store , main st. flushing NY ... it was a great purchase. I would play it loud for every one to hear
I have loved Don’s genius ever sense I first heard him 8n the 60’s I used to have this album I wore it out. My favorite recording by him and the Magic Band was Safe As Milk.
какая прекрасная музыка.......а поет то как душевно.......боже,,и кто то же это еще и записывал,выпускал в массы..........................блюю,не имогу остановиться
Original second guitarist 6025 was hugely influenced by the guitar playing on TMR...and, avant/free jazz horn playing Listen to the Dead Kennedys live doing 6025's "Gaslight" and, "Ill In The Head" (incredibly challenging bassline) Completely underrated player and songwriter....
“Once you’ve heard Beefheart, it’s hard to wash him out of your clothes. It stains, like coffee or blood.”
~ Tom Waits
To be real, this is the most normal song on the album
This is true.
the fact that that dude got thrown down a staircase by cap'n beefy fart was totally worth it

I like how this is universally considered the most 'accessible' track on the album. Seriously, this could've been a single.
I would suggest China Pig as being more mainstream.
And for most plebeians"What the fuck is this? Put some Oasis on!" ...Fooooools!
I will never understand why my wife shot me down for suggesting this as our wedding song!
Because this is the artsiest album of the 20th century?

Ella Guru is the one that got me hooked
Indeed, this has a pretty good proto-metal/proto-punk sound to it with a heavy driving riff. I can dig it.

This album is the equivalent of getting jumped by a hobo in the Wild West

Yee haw
It's too bad Beefheart never played a singing hobo in a Western movie...

That's coz he essentially doing Howlin' Wolf.
He does kinda sound like a brother
i've dicovered him in the same exactly way, listening willie the pimp. he had a very growling blues voice, like jim Morrison and tom waits
I thought he was at least 60, was 28 was this was made
For me the Trout Mask is a musical catharsis. As a genius with a moustache already said *A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open*

And that's old synesthesia working
The guitar feedback just before 'old time religion' is priceless.
This music is absolutely bonkers. I am going to have to spend a lot more time with this album.
Great shout!
This is the line I use to describe the Capt's music to everyone I know . . . This is the greatest song in the history of the universe . . . .
This music trancends the confines of modern time.

The whole song is fascinating but from 2:20 to the end, the song gets ridiculously stunning
The guitars on this song is amazing, probably my favorite cut on the record

And eat some panther caps beforehand for the full experience!

Makes me feel like I have sprinted straight into a bonfire and are suddenly watching my body melt into goo
Gives me the same feeling exactly. Let me also add: at the same time, tearing off my clothes and howling into the sky
just like a old red skin dancing

For a white elephant escaped from the zoo with love
Goes to show you what uh moon can do

Don was and still is, the man.
When Tom Waits met Kathleen Brennan she turned him onto CB and he made Swordfish Trombones. Needless to say he liked Captain Beefheart.
Mike m “The rest is history”! I love the Tom of this era- it’s the first one I know’d.
Gotta love a chick who digs her the Beefheart. I used to have a friend who had a pet pillbug named Captain Beefheart. She was the bomb. I had a huge crush on her.
Tom Waits doesn't just like Cpt. Beefheart. He's a pledged devotee by now, stating this is his all-time favorite record.

It's good enough for me
And it's good enough for you!
I can smell this album
It kind of smells like human dust, mixed with pizza with bacon and eggs, with a hint of ana seed and a drop of whiskey.
I smell tarmac and liquor
and a little bit of liquorice and fennel
and old cigar smoke
Smells like an ocean mixed with cola
This is the song I always go to to get a different song out of my head. It works soooo well!
