Frank was the most comedic rock performer I have ever seen plus an awesome philosopher, guitarist and seer of the future. He has been missed by all of fans.
0 Satire isn't comedy.. its philosophy to laugh about.. .. .. ? and fyi. (lol) Frank's ghost knows we miss him and reminds us that - ''broken hearts are for assholes''🤔😂
I love Frank. He is the ultimate anti-performer. He doesn't have a stick. And whatever he wants to go with at the moment he does so. He certainly works hard and works his musicians just as hard, taking his music seriously, but not himself. Love that guy. RIP big man.
Sheik Yerbouti is still my favorite Zappa CD / album. Not a bad song on it & love the way Flakes goes right into Broken Hearts ... sheer genius. And then right into I'm So Cute. Three classic Zappa tunes in a row!
Adrian Belew originally did the part bc he imitated Dylan once either at the audition or rehearsal (not totally sure) and Frank decided he was gonna work it into the show somehow. Ed Mann does a pretty fantastic job with it here.
@@eddieisadrummer yep, thanks. I've found the story with a bit of searching, sometimes I forget how powerful is the web. According to Adrian Belew it was born indeed while Frank was playing the song for him, but since he couldn't sing and play at the same time the all thing sounded to him like a drunk Bob Dylan, he did the impression, Frank loved it and put it in the song. Incredible.
@@_innerscape_ Plus, the idea of Bob Dylan, hero of the working class, ranting about workers trying to scam him is hilarious. Imagine this middle-class Dylan in his middle-class house having to deal with the ineptitude of most current workers. I never managed to do it because the band folded up, but I had this part ready in the 'voice' and words of Francesco Guccini, which amongst Italian singers-songwriters is probably the most deserving of the "Dylan" title.
@@IlBiggo Yep! That could be also another level of humor! Didn't consider that. For sure we're not short of lefties wannabe working class heroes in Italy, eh? :-)
In another video he would shook hands with the audience while continuing his guitar solo with the left hand. And all that after the 1971 London incident when he was attacked on stage, fell into the orchestra pit and had to spend a few months in a wheelchair.

...saw this tour at Santa Monica Civic. Smoked a Thai joint with the rhythm guitarist/singer in the middle of the show. He said it was the best shit he'd had all night. Of course it was, I peeled it off the stick myself 🎉
To be a musician was Frank Zappas fate, he couldn´t be anything else. He was one of the people who changed the world. I like him till my 15th birthday.
frank zappa is simply the best composer with songs about the everyday life and how he make fun on all aspect of life, rip fz and hope dweezil zappa with continue playing like fz on his songs and maybe with his own band will come out with his own which will be as good as fz with frank's wife giving support as indicated on some of the videos. fz had musicians which were great and no other band will come on paar with his band members through the years all of them were par excellence
Frank is quite possibly the coolest dude that ever lived. Anyone with the courage to wear such a pantsuit is truly superhuman. No seriously - Frank rules.
The first time I heard this song I was driving from San Diego to L..A. I wasn't prepared for the belly laughs. Made it difficult to drive straight. Miss his humor and amazing guitar playing, his outspokenness, etc.
One of the last geniuses in most ways ... what all he had to cope with in his days is just amazing ... besides making so many great songs in so many great ways ... and he always did a darn good job on all fronts ... cause he was "on duty" :) what a guy ...
Back in the late 80s ,me and a bud found this album recorded on a tape in a car we bought. It wasn't labeled , and we only heard a few Zappa tunes at that point. We kept saying : this is so goofy it's gotta be Zappa. We played the heck outta this album.
1981 gig I'm a moron 'n' this is my wife She's frosting a cake With a paper knife All what we got here's American made It's a little bit cheesey But it's nicely displayed Well we don't get excited when it Crumbles 'n' breaks We just get on the phone And call up some Flakes They rush on over 'N' wreck it some more 'N' we are so dumb They're linin' up at our door Well, the toilet went crazy Yesterday afternoon The plumber he says "Never flush a tampoon!"

Ed Mann’s Bob Dylan impression sounds kinda underwhelming after hearing Adrian Belew do it. But what are you gonna do when the guy is no longer in the band. Props to Ed for trying his best 👍🏻
i know exaclty what you mean. it is true many of the lyrics are simplistic and even obscene but if you carefully listen and understand the mensage under the lyrics you'll get what's so great about zappa. he is great because his message isn't on the lyrics. it's on what the lyrics imply
Frank Zappa IS among the most misunderstood artists. I am Norwegian. I do not know all irony and stuff but I'm familiar to Frank Zappa's universe. Frank was a gentleman and down to earth. A Norwegian impressario was asked what super star that impressed him the most. Frank Zappa and Diana Ross he said. The impressario asked Frank Zappa what they could bring him. A car as I can explore Oslo. A simple car.
@pilesovinyl I think part of the reason these musicians were so good was Frank. I learned from going to Steve Vai's Masterclass that Frank constantly challenged them with close to impossible music to play.
This version is on the "The Torture Never Stops"-DVD, the 1981 halloween concert with Steve Vai, Ed Mann, and Tommy Mars. The lineup on "Does Humor Belong in Music" is different.

The irony is that I'm jamming to this when I should be working.
I’m getting ready to go out and I can’t stop listening and watching
You should charge double for that.
@creageous These dudes just cost me half week pay for "never flush a tampoon" advice, smh.
and your'e frosting a cake with a paper knife?

Pure genius....
Zappa had over 1200 published songs to his credit before he passed
RIP Frank

He doesn't have a SCHTICK!
When he died, I didn't eat for a week I was so depressed.
Frank was very serious about not taking himself too seriously.
His schtick was being silly.
Some people mistake it for genius.
I love that he signs an autograph while singing lol he rocks
Immediately after, someone hands him some dubious underwear lol
Sheik Yerbouti is still my favorite Zappa CD / album. Not a bad song on it & love the way Flakes goes right into Broken Hearts ... sheer genius. And then right into I'm So Cute. Three classic Zappa tunes in a row!
The "Dylan"-part with the harp is hilarious....Great tune!
Do you know why there's a Bob Dylan impression? I'm not american so I'm missing context, if there's any...

the fact that he's getting knickers thrown / passed to him whilst wearing a pink romper suit should be an inspiration to budding bands everywhere.
At arround 4:20 Zappa writing an autograph while continue singing, how awesome is that.
+Henrik Wulff Rasmussen
and he even puts the cap back on, he used to be such a nice boy
4:20 weed reference?

It's amazing how this is still true today.
The musical irony of having an epic and 'inspirational' mood overlaid with lyrics about American mediocirty is pure Zappa genius.
Frank always had great drummers ... spoke to Chad last year at the end of an Allan Holdsworth gig in Milton Keynes ... lovely fella ... very humble.
What did he say?
God, I'm so crazy about Frank Zappa. Pure genius. I'd give my life to turn back time for the world to still be enjoying his amazing gigs.
You would have taken so much drugs you wouldn’t remember anyway
To be a musician was Frank Zappas fate, he couldn´t be anything else. He was one of the people who changed the world. I like him till my 15th birthday.
A showman and a master. his music will be remember forever
Frank Zappa is the George Carlin of music.
frank zappa is simply the best composer with songs about the everyday life and how he make fun on all aspect of life, rip fz and hope dweezil zappa with continue playing like fz on his songs and maybe with his own band will come out with his own which will be as good as fz with frank's wife giving support as indicated on some of the videos. fz had musicians which were great and no other band will come on paar with his band members through the years all of them were par excellence
30/3/2017 Buenos Aires, Argentina... Listening to him!! Miss you, frankie!!
Insert today: "Chinese made alot cheesy but very nicely displayed".
Miss Zappa...
Zappa is always great!!
Frank is quite possibly the coolest dude that ever lived. Anyone with the courage to wear such a pantsuit is truly superhuman.
No seriously - Frank rules.
The first time I heard this song I was driving from San Diego to L..A. I wasn't prepared for the belly laughs. Made it difficult to drive straight. Miss his humor and amazing guitar playing, his outspokenness, etc.
Aaaaaaaaahaha ❤😂
I love the way Ray White stares lol and when Frank Zappa signs an autograph and sings at the same time lol
How cool is that....He signs an autograph while singing. You won't see that now a days. He's so cool.
This is fantastic beyond the power of words to describe. Frank Zappa was so damned awesome.
Haven't heard this for years. Chuckled all the way through it. Love Frank.
I love how the "outro" for the song just drags on and on
Sheik Yerbouti! Musical brilliance to the nth degree
Well said
One of the last geniuses in most ways ... what all he had to cope with in his days is just amazing ... besides making so many great songs in so many great ways ... and he always did a darn good job on all fronts ... cause he was "on duty" :)
what a guy ...
Just a bunch of super talented musicians having so much fun
The best...Frank rules!!
Back in the late 80s ,me and a bud found this album recorded on a tape in a car we bought.
It wasn't labeled , and we only heard a few Zappa tunes at that point.
We kept saying : this is so goofy it's gotta be Zappa.
We played the heck outta this album.
That's funny, I was introduced to Zappa by an unmarked cassette found on the sidewalk in the late 80's- Shiek a your bootie.
this is one of my favorite Zappa songs. I love the album version goes right into another favorite, Broken Hearts Are For A-Holes.
There are so many damn flakes around, the only thing they're good for is making this song TIMELESS!
we're coming to getchu, we're coming to getchu
He could sign his name without missing a word and he was gracious enough to do it!
Pure genius
Sheik Yerbouti : one of the best Zappa's masterpeaces...
great song. great music.
Frank always commanded the best of what his musicians had to offer, and the background vocals are certainly proof of that in this particular video.
I love you, Frank Zappa.... and it only makes me more of a man for it! R.I.P. buddy :')
Love this song.
In 1992 I named my company " Zappa Electronics" because of this song. I used it to be able to buy wholesale. 😊
Pure genius 👏 RIP Frankie.
truly awesome..this is one of my favs..
Frank was so badass. This song is hilarious.
il piu' grande musicista mai esistito.
chad is enjoying the composition
yes I am
One of Frank's very best! Thanks for posting!
I love this song it's funny the way the anti drugs part is sung and when Ray White stares at the camera.
Frank Zappa is ace
i love how at 4:30 FZ actually takes the time to put the cap back on the pen. soooo frank!
The Millenial Song
I saw this tour. It was outstanding!!!!
This has always been one of my favorite songs.
one of my favorite zappa tunes!!
One of my favs!
Immer noch ein bisschen mehr als nur die anderen.👍 😈 🔝
Zappa, mon mentor 😍
Ilove Zappa!
I love how he stops to sign an autograph in the middle of the song and doesn't miss a beat. "Like a boss," as the kiddies say.
ya...love it
LOVE IT!!!
I was at this show. classic song. super arrangement. thanks!
The march style of snare on "we are millions and millions..." is very neat. I don't remember to be that way on the LP.
Boy, how I love this man!
So great...
thanks to whoever posted this. My favorite Zappa track. "Well my toilet went crazy........ pure gold
one of the best........forever!!!!!!!!!!1
I saw them in Chicago 1981 Kicked ass!@
1981 gig
I'm a moron 'n' this is my wife
She's frosting a cake
With a paper knife
All what we got here's
American made
It's a little bit cheesey
But it's nicely displayed
Well we don't get excited when it
Crumbles 'n' breaks
We just get on the phone
And call up some Flakes
They rush on over
'N' wreck it some more
'N' we are so dumb
They're linin' up at our door
Well, the toilet went crazy
Yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says
"Never flush a tampoon!"
This great information
Cost me half a week's pay
And the toilet blew up
Later on the next day ay-eee-ay
Blew up the next day WOO-OOO
well the toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon, the plumber he says never flush your tamppooons! lmao!this great info cost us half a weeks pay!
just makes me feel happy
so awesome zappa rules
LOVE YOU FRANK ZAPPA MISS YOU !!!
Frank was considered left of center, of course, but "We're protected by unions, so don't let it upset you" backs up Scott Walker.
It gets really epic at 4:56 with Bobby Martin's backing vocals!
the BEST
Only Frank could look cool in a pink boiler suit
"I am a moron, and this is my wife; she's frosting a cake with a paper knife."
great performance
At 4:25, he goes: "This song's so easy, I'm going to give this guy an autograph while I'm performing!" XD
California's got the most of them (and still growing)…they have a host of them
Ed Mann’s Bob Dylan impression sounds kinda underwhelming after hearing Adrian Belew do it. But what are you gonna do when the guy is no longer in the band. Props to Ed for trying his best 👍🏻
Perfect timing by zapps and his band
i know exaclty what you mean. it is true many of the lyrics are simplistic and even obscene but if you carefully listen and understand the mensage under the lyrics you'll get what's so great about zappa. he is great because his message isn't on the lyrics. it's on what the lyrics imply
totalmente fuori di testa!!!!!
Adrian Belew is much missed in the Dylan impression
A better Dylan than Dylan.
@ Indeed! :)
Ist not Belew, it is Éd Mann
@@paulleman1915 I think he was saying Belew does the Dylan voice better, and hes right
@@MrJesseSmall in this vidéo Belew is not there, it's Éd Mann thé percussion ist who imitates Dylan.
When he said “we’re millions and millions, we’re coming to get ya” that hits even to gen z

Two flakes watched this video. 579 of their customers did too!
Zappa live is something else, I still haven't found a live record of him where he didn't outperform the studio version of the song.
Yet so many of his studio recordings are constructed from live recordings. :)
Joe garage es mejor en estudio !
That we are so dumb... This great information cost me a half a week pay and the toilet blew up the next day.... We re comin to get you..
I love Adrian Belew's go-for-broke jam-off at the end of the recorded version, but this is just as good.

top song x]
the saarbrucken / beat the boots recording of this tune is TOPS
Zappa called it HOW MANY years ago? It's only gotten worse....smh
On of USA greatest arists. This is the USA i Love.
