Punky went to my high school in Alexandria. I used to go see him play with the cherry people all the time in Georgetown. I knew his brother Robin. I love this witty tribute from Frank Zappa!
This is the song that triggered the Warner Bros lawsuit, the album was called Leatherette. Warner grabbed the masters, so Frank went on an FM radio station and told everyone to cue up their cassette decks, then played a copy from the mix, and told everyone that they could record it, make copies, as he was giving it away. It had the voice of SNL. Don Pardo, telling the story of Punky. A friend of mine had a copy, and I heard it. That friend later made a copy for Terry Bozzio who had never heard it. Angel was also on WB, and they were notorious for catching up and coming bands and ripping them off. When Van Halen was coming up, Michael Anthony, kept getting in front of Edward at a show, and EVH was getting annoyed. Michael told EVH to turn his back to the crowd, as Angel had just entered.
Yeah on the 1988 Zappa tour they did play Stevie’s Spanking without Vai. At the show they explained that Zach begged Dweezil to play this song since the 2006 version got him into Zappa. I would have begged Dweezil too.
Such a great band, great musicianship.... But those lyrics. Can't we move past FZ's regressive sexuality? It makes it harder as I get older to enjoy this great music. Maybe update the words? Play it as an instrumental? I don't know .....😕

Amazing!
How goddamn fucking wonderful is this!?!?!?!?
Always so good. Thank you D. Zappa
Bad ass playing by all. Very impressive!!!
The biggest thing I noticed here is that Dweezil isn't wearing New Balance trainers.. they were a mainstay for years!
The art of guitar
Thank you Dweeze for keeping Frank ALIVE. Frank = the most creative musician EVER.

The RICTUS IS EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG HERE!!!
Get a better seat next time Barry. Not seeing Scheila makes my gonads ache.
How do you do Punky's Whips without Terry Ted. What's next, Stevie's Spanking?

Dang Jr!
ZACH TABORI!!
Punky Meadows apparently thought the song was hilarious.
I thought it was punky’s lips…

Quanti anni hai?
Absolutely not.
I think the Martha Stewart page is what you're looking for.

The right antidote in this humorless woke-world
If Mozart, Bach. Beethoven, Stravinsky, or Houdini, were alive today they would have been in the front row.
"Wrist array aye ee aye ee aye". Frank was a Genius and not a species.
