    According to Frank Zappa, this sing is about an interviewer he encountered in his hotel room in 1977. Apparently the Engishman was asking Frank about his stance on feminism and using derogatory words to impress the female companions he brought with him. This song is an assumption of the interviewers sleazy character in Frank's mind.

    Funny thing, back in high school in 1981 or so, my girlfriend at the time went on a trip to Germany. At a party with some German students someone put this on and they started dancing to it. Apparently, this song clocked in at #4 on the German charts and the single sold 250,000 copies. What she figured out is that the words didn't really register with them. She brought the single back with her and that was my introduction to Frank Zappa.

    Frank Zappa John Denver and Dee Snider testified before Congress when they were debating on if there should be a rating system on published music. Those testimony are available on the tube. Frank showed up in a tailored three piece suit with styled hair . Appearances make an impression. John Denver showed up in what we would call today as business casual and apologised for his appearance before testimony. Dee snide essentially showed up with stage makeup and dress. Dee Snider is the singer for twisted sister. Ripped jeans, hair past the shoulder length , makeup,. And a completely foul mouth. He read a statement that immediately slighted the wife of one of the interviewers. Tipper Gore the wife of Albert Gore junior. It is interesting to see how the senators and congressmen assumed what the testimony would contain. John Denver delivered a very effective statement for why censorship or a rating system is a bad idea. Frank did pretty well on why it was dangerous to allow a wife of a senator to decide what the public is allowed to hear. Interesting to see. You should check it out. Not necessarily a review subject but it effects your income stream regardless.

    Thank you so much for this - you've made my day! 😊 I absolutely loved the absolutely unique Frank Zappa - and yes, he commented on all kinds of stuff and didn't compromise. There is less controversial (particularly nowadays - I think fans just 'got him' in the 70s/80s while mainstream often stayed away) material for you to try. Maybe try Cosmik Debris or Stinkfoot off the Apostrophe album. The torture never stops and Wind up working in a gas station are another 2 of my favourites. One of my favourite lines in a song is his 'I lost control of my body functions
    on a roller-headed lady's front lawn' (from Wonderful wino). I miss Frank, definitely a genius and a mean old guitarist and composer too. love from the uk, stay safe xx

    This song fits perfect in the total concept of the "Joe's Garage" album(s).
    And the concept of Joe's Garage fits perfect in 2020.

    Trust me, as a Black Man, Ive seen that look hundreds of times. Back then, I would play Zappa for my ladies. ScribeCash's reactions were moderate. Sistas gave it that stink face look and called him a pervert and freak. Not knowing that this man has written classical compositions that world orchestras begged to perform.

    Please note, when people are talking about "Yellow snow", it's not the 2 min track, but the 11 min suite that's the actual suggestion. You should never play just the first track by itself, that's like watching the first 20 minutes of a movie and then just stop.

    Because of his songs' weirdness, far to many people missed the fact that Zappa was a musical genius and virtuoso, who didn't just write music, but was actually a composer who was able to write the music for every instrument in an orchestra. His guitar playing is often overlooked, but he was an incredible guitarist. Over the years, his band members were some of the most amazing musical talents who would become legends on their own, like Steve Vai, Terry Bozzio, George Duke, Chester Thompson, Vinnie Caliuta, among many others.

    Unbeatable musicians with the funniest lyrics you'll ever hear in your life. Zappa will twist your mind in a good way (permanently). No room to be politically correct or easily offended. This is legit. Enjoy the ride.

    Yup....old Frank had a foul mouth outside of this song, and you could always expect something weird from him, too. Still, he was a creative genius.

    I remember this song very well. German stations played Bobby Brown over and over again. Either they did not understand the lyrics, which I doubt, but at least they pretended not to understand them. In the mid 80`s I had a guy from Oakland (a well known drummer - I won´t give his name though) as guest in my house. He could not believe what he heard on the radio during breakfast and got really upset. He later thought we had pranked him, but we hadn´t. A later found out that Bobby Brown was frequently aired in most of Europe, and it still is. The most bizarre scene I remember from that song was hearing it emitting from a middle class "dancing school" in which middel class teenagers tried hard to make contact with member of the opposite camp, so to speak. All extremly formal and stiff. I peaked through the window and watche dthem dance "foxtrott" to Bobby Brown. I was their age (around 15) but my english was much better, and hey - not much language skill needed to make a save guess what most of the lyrics meant. ;-) Just imagine German teenagers with a stick up their spine dancing cheek to cheek to "Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic" :-D
    That was the time when we looked up to you guys in the US. The time when you had critical srtists like Zappa and Carlin and the like. What has happened since?
    Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
    They say I'm the cutest boy in town
    My car is fast, my teeth are shiny
    I tell all the girls they can kiss my heine
    Here I am at a famous school
    I dressin' sharp and I'm acting cool
    I've got a cheerleader here
    Wants to help with my paper
    Let her do all the work
    And maybe later I'll rape her
    Oh God, I am the American dream
    I do not think I'm too extreme
    And I'm a handsome son of a bitch
    I'm gonna get a good job and be real rich
    (Get a good, get a good, get a good, get a good job)
    Women's liberation
    Came creepin' all across the nation
    I tell you, people, I was not ready
    When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddie
    She made a little speech then
    Oh, she tried to make me say when
    She had my balls in a vice but she left the dick
    I guess it's still hooked on but now it shoots too quick
    Oh God, I am the American dream
    But now I smell like Vaseline
    And I'm a miserable son of a bitch
    Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which
    (I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder)
    So I went out and bought me a leisure suit
    I jingle my change but I'm still kinda cute
    Got a job doing radio promo
    And none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
    Eventually me and a friend
    Sorta drifted along into S&M
    I can take about an hour on the tower of power
    As long as I get a little golden shower
    Oh God, I am the American dream
    With a spindle up my butt 'til it makes me scream
    And I'll do anything to get ahead
    I lay awake nights, sayin', "thank you, Fred"
    Oh God, Oh God, I'm so fantastic
    Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic
    And my name is Bobby Brown
    Watch me now, I'm goin' down
    And my name is Bobby Brown
    Watch me now, I'm goin' down
    And my name is Bobby Brown
    Watch me now, I'm going down
    Yeah, I knew you'd be surprised
