I always loved this and as a Jew l feel he nails it 😂👍😎♥️ People, we need to start laughing at ourselves again.
hahaha - as ordered. : )
Yeah!
As Frank once asked, "Does Humor Belong In Music?"
Hahhah, I don't have a big nose or big tits ! Greetings from Finland.
@@saturahman7510 I don’t have big tits either, although if I was female I wish I would 😎
To be fair, catholic girls should be your next song. Frank believed in equal sarcasm for all. I'm 68yrs old and of all the musicians that have passed in my lifetime, I miss Frank the most. Great reaction, you guys rock!!!!✌️❤️😃
Yeah, and you can hear some Jewish Princess notes in the ending of Catholic Girls =)
Yeah... Me too!! I miss Frank! Once you get it... it's really hard to take anybody else seriously when it comes to music or anything else for that matter.
They did the entire Joes Garage trilogy.
yep could not agree more
Thanks William!
Betcha never expected a kazoo intro.......😂🤣😆
I may be old, but I saw frank zappa twice in concert. Outstanding
Frank used to frequent discotheques quite often. His observations of the denisons of those establishments were the inspiration for quite a few numbers like this one.
For Frank nothing is sacred. Definitely not a song I'd play for a newbie but once you understand the Zappa zeitgeist you're able to appreciate what he is doing.
"How can you make fun of something if it's not funny to begin with?" - FZ.
The look on Sifa's face is priceless as she listens to the lyrics!! Great reaction from both of you!!
Thanks Bernard!
@@SightAfterDark it's always a lot of fun for me to watch people become exposed to Frank Zappa's music!! A lot of the reactions remind me of myself when I first heard a lot of this stuff!! Might I suggest the entire album live at the Fillmore East for personal consumption if you don't want to do it on your channel but it's an awesome album!!!
A classic from way back. I love the way he vocalizes this one!
Y'all forgot the garlic aroma that could level Tacoma 8-P
Frank at his most sarcastic and profane. Glorious!
This is what I call Frank's anthropological/troll stage (he released Joe's Garage the same year, kind of the companion piece to Sheik). This album wasn't so much about the music but the commentary. He thinks romantic songs suck or that "broken hearts are for assholes," that dumb/cute people are not only annoying but need to be put in their place, that a "Jewish Princess" and even "Yo mama" need to be studied and commented on. Frank loved entertaining and being entertained, so if there's wasn't anyone around to do it, he did it, thus this very entertaining album, one that poked and prodded you to think about your own prejudices and biases and maybe even to get you pissed off enough to take a deeper look at all the bullshit going on around you. Great stuff.
This album and Joe's Garage were his middle finger to the record industry. All the anger and frustration poured out in scathing lyrics and hard driving music...I always considered Sheik to be his angriest album since We're Only In It For The Money.
As far as I’m concerned, FZ gets a pass on all of the social controversy, both past and present. It’s brutally honest satirical commentary and something he took more seriously than people think. It wasn’t all just to take the piss and get a rise out of people, although that was definitely big part of it. As Laraine Newman said in his defense at the time, “It’s not only funny, it’s dead-on. Such creatures do exist.” Or something to that effect.
Yo Mama was written specifically for Tommy Mars after he couldn't play Little House I Used to Live In from memory insinuating that Tommy should go back to his momma.
@@jimhardiman3836 I thought it was about Adrian Belew after he had left Frank in the middle of the 1977 tour to play with David Bowie. There's a great story of Belew inviting Frank to eat out with him and Bowie, and Frank calling Bowie "Capt. Tom" the whole evening.
@@zappafan012 🤣🤣 God I wish frank was still alive. He’d have so much to say about todays times
I totally love this entire album. Frank always knew how to poke and prod people with his lyrics and amazing musical talent. When I was growing up this and Joe's garage where my two favorite albums by Frank Zappa. This was before I discovered his earlier stuff and then was totally blown away. I was in high school during the 1980s so I may be a little bit younger than some of the folks that grew up during his earlier career.
Frank was unafraid of critics and you are brave for reacting to this one!
Only ONE more of example of the tender, sensitive, carefully and very inspired poems in the tradition of deepest Romanticism of the very sweet poet Frank Zappa; combined with a classical orchestration - a Wunderwerk... :o)))
Zappa was similar to George Carlin...they made fun of everything and everyone; no one's safe!
The best part is they truly didn't care if anyone was offended. A different time, a different age. I'm trying to think of any current artists with the cojones to say whatever the hell they want to say.
Can't think of anyone that brave...any suggestions?
Thanks so much for your FZ love, your reaction was hilarious! Peace☮️
We appreciate you Dean❤️!
Tom McDonald. Kid Rock over the last 5 years.
he was married to the same women from 1967-1993 when he died of Prostate cancer, they had 4 kids. Most of the songs on this album were comedy actually I think they all were, he did some very serious music check out his album Yellow Shark it's a instramental and is amazing.He was a very creative person he played rock to make money, but he had very many interests and Talents.
And when the JDL complained he gave us Catholic Girls
Who else would have a lead kazoo in a song
Just an observation he wanted to frame in some catchy music. There were Jewish Princess's who dug the song. Lorraine Newman from SNL liked it.
I think it was B'nai B'rith that wrote him a steamy letter DEMANDING an apology.
His response was something like; "Are you trying to tell me these creatures don't exist?", then framed the letter and hung it on the wall.
If I'm remembering correctly he promised Catholic Girls in the same interview.
Franks music pushed a lot of buttons...that's why he was so fun to listen to. One of the great geniuses of the 20th century...Very few of his songs made it to radio. I have most of his music.
The song "Rhymin Man" has that Havah Nagilah snippet you are looking for.
I ain't mad but, I'm super glad that I saw this video before I invited you over for 'Mel Brooks Night' at my house.
La La La
Legend has it Rodney Dangerfield called this "mellow easy listening"
Everybody Twist!
Seeing your opposite reactions was freakin hilarious in this video lol
Thanks Wayne! Can you make more requests from this album.
Franks all time most popular album. Stocked with all time Zappa hits.
A few organic technical genius tunes, but the rest top 40 level grooving hard rock, metal, blues, all mixed in, including city of tiny lights, I'm so cute. Broken hearts are for a**oles. Jones crusher! Rat tomago, etc. Dancing fool made it on NY WABC AM radio during Long island rush hour 1978! .
We need more requests to complete this album. Its a whole other Zappa popular sounding universe with less Frank subversions, but enough in there to make it the perfect Zappa album. It competes with overnight sensation, Apostrophe, one size fits all, but with a more expanded Frank down and dirty, grooving, hard rock/pop, filthy lyrical style, with the best drummer for these styles!
Frank would have DEFINITELY put this out today.
Y'know, Frank never lost money inviting outrage.
Now this I love...The people you can't criticize. Go Frankie..Break the rules
Who would those people be?
@@jimhardiman3836 ..Can't say...You can't criticize their evil doings
@@poppiethestable1090 who are these people and what are their evil doings?
@@jimhardiman3836 The Amish and their nefarious hand-churned butter
Best description from both of you... - "Backgirls smoking cigarettes..." a.s.o. o:)
Laraine Newman of SNL, who is Jewish, said the song was hilarious and that there was nothing in it that wasn't true. The ADL (Anti defamation League) filed a protest with the FCC to have the album banned from airplay, which is funny since frank didn't get any airplay in the US. and only resulted in increased sales of the album. Frank wrote "Catholic Girls" in response to the criticism he received over "Jewish Princess"
I am a jew and I approve the message!
Lol!
Thanks for plying this song. I haven't heard this song in years. Zappa is the best and was a genius.
We’re glad you enjoyed!
The valley industry asked the customers what they want next
and Zappa was working in the callcenter and recorded the requests
"I want a nasty little Jewish Princess (la la la)......."
Nowadays the customers ask
"I want a nasty little Arab with a burqa...."
Zappa noted only (like usually)
Frank! Times have not changed, only desire
Something about the verse melody reminds a little of Van Dyke Parks, another pop orchestral genius. Do you guys know 'Song Cycle', the great failed LP-- sales wise? I know I am not on patreon, so sorry-- too analog for that. I will have to mail doubloons.
Another classic song and the album is also very good.
He madde a DooWap LP called Ruben and thee ets...
Frank does have a very specific "shopping list."
Heck yeah loved this reaction
His Congressional testimony is on RUclips. Pure Frank.
ADL took out a whole page ad (I've forgotten what publication, Rolling Stone, Idk) condemning this at the time.
i love these reactions😂
Yeah that's funny deer that you mentioned the 50s because he's got a whole album of 50s music he did this one record right after we're only in it for the money and it was called Cruisin with Ruben and the Jets and it's all kind of like Doo-wop music it's pretty cool I love it
Frank, the GOAT
Yep this track is from Sheik Yerbouti! Along with "Broken Hearts are for Assholes" and "City of Tiny Lights" which is well worth checking out! This is hilarious though.... loved your reaction guys as always thanks!
Thanks so much Sonic Art!
Swiss Cheezuz those Patreons love Zappa.
This song could very well be titled "Son of Joe's Garage", because it follows the same melody and rhythmn.
You guys are good picking the flavors. Frank Zappa was a huge fan of doo wop and Kiche fifties stuff. Frank flew under the radar and no one seems to notice how hard he tried to offend, weird no public outcry back in the day lol.
The pained expression on the LHS are priceless.
Thanks for sharing, ❤️ your positive wieu on the song, he was popular wt the Shake Yerbouti recording, when it came out in Norway Europe in 1979‼️Bobby Brown Goes Down, was the most popular song on the recording, there was slowdancing bcs English isn't the main language here, the song was even played on Radio stations, bcs ppl didn't pay attension to the lyrics‼️In the Jazzclub I used to go sometimes, they had a huge Black & White photo of Frank Zappa on the wall, the only picture there, so he must have been highly respected as an composer ‼️
Thanks so much for watching Tove!
@@SightAfterDark Your welcome, it was fun to hear this song again ‼️👍
Finally! You are now on the greatest Zappa album ever made.
My first listen to Sheik Yerbouti was an amazing experience, especially with the sound production from his new studio!
"The Choice of Instruments": I wonder how they were able to play the KAZOO this way ("virtuoso"?)!
Take it for what it's worth , humor belongs in music 🎵🎶
A comment about all the Lone Ranger references ("Hi-yo Silver!")... When on the road they would see something on TV or in the news that would trigger a sense of humor, and Zappa would OK certain songs during a show for the band to riff on verbally.
That's the beauty of it...he could have not made that song today❤❤❤
I dig that you two are giving Frank’s music new legs! He always said being remembered wasn’t important (to him)…but as a life long fan of Zappa’s music, I kinda think he’d dig the fact that the fans didn’t agree with him over that(?)
Actually he probably thought of his music as a separate entity from he himself. Like it was a living thing on its own, once created…I dunno
Thanks for what you’re doing🙌
Totally agree
I miss FZ ☮️
Thanks Unca Doug!
Thanks. I LMAO and I needed that today.
He got critique from ADL at the time, which is so stupid. It's just a cute little song. No harm intended. But he also got kudos "from real jewish princesses" (as he claimed) who loved it.
I’m Jewish and there is absolutely such a thing as a Jewish princess. I love this song and I love Frank Zappa!
Frank has said in the past that if he had his druthers , he would not put lyrics to music and that he would make sure they were absurd.
Are you a libra? Love your nails! 😀
He performed this song live only once and this is that performance with lots of overdubs.
Thanks Hans!
I think he also did a song Catholic girls
hard core christians protested with rabiant feminist at every concert made him just even naughtier love the guy one of the biggest in the bizz got a lp called who haven't i insulted today that’s frank 100&
This is funny song! And it's about what he wants, not what necessarily exists!
But yes, this song is from this album.
For this song, published on the album Sheik Yerbouti (Feb 1979), Zappa received the accusation of anti-semitism. On the following album Joes Garage Act I (Sep 1979) he answered this criticism musically with the funny song "Catholic Girls". In the last part of this song, the lead melody of Jewish Princess is overdubbed. Have fun, you both!
I remember my then boss and I discussing if he was taunting his previous label (Warner) with these albums (Sheik, and Joe's Garage), because they wouldn't grant him early release from his contract.
Either way, those three albums were still busting some prudes in those days.
Like an x-rated Weird Al, how amazing. True musical genius apparently.
Yes, next it needs to be it's companion piece "Catholic Girls". And after that..."He's So Gay". WE HAVE SPOKEN.
Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 - December 4, 1993)
I’ve been a fan of Sheik Yerbouti for decades, but still remember the day I was driving in my car and it dawned on me that the album name was pronounced Shake Your Bootie and I had to pull over because I couldn’t stop laughing.
😆!
Frank copped a lot of flack for the song "Catholic Girls" (from the album Joe's Garage Act1), so he wrote this one.
Frank was a great believer in equality!😄
Next from this album has to be "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes" 💔🤣
hahaha
garlic aroma 🤣
Sometimes I wonder if he wrote the most outrageous lyrics just to strengthen himself to the attacks he'd inevitably receive and to hone his inner power to not give two shits.

FRANK ZAPPA IS THE BEST!!
Everybody twist!
He also has a song called "Catholic Girls"
One of my personal favorite albums. It's a great song. Somebody had to do it. Best it was Frank.
the nose who knows where it goes - does this apply to frank too lol?
He refused to put on a fake nose saying: "No, my nose is big enough already"
That tune is from that album
This is a fantastic LP. Jewish Princes is just one song. Most of the LP is mind blowing. But ya gotta Frank he gave zero fucks what anyone thought about his music.
Oh yeah it's from Shake Your Booty the Jewish princess song I know Google spelled it wrong but you know
His wife's maiden name was Sloatman... I don't think it was ever recorded what it was she thought about this...
To use a bit of an analogy...Zappa's music is a dictionary. A lot of people on here giggle at underlining the rude words whilst ignoring the rest and majority of said dictionary
@Zolar Czakl thank you
This is great, it’s like Weird Al before Weird Al. Al should parody this. Someone make that happen! ❤️
Check out Weird Al's Genius In France, it is a tribute to Frank, Frank was one of Weird Al's mentors.
@@timfeeley714-25
our both loved reaction-heros Sifa and Dan made already a reaction video to Genius in France and brought light into the dark(ness)
@@timfeeley714-25 I've seen it many times. It's genius!
this one isn't one of the more wonderful FZ tracks, imo, but it is the one that was purposely designed to be as offensive as possible. It has a place in history
Frank´s target was whoever was in the line of fire.
def a doo-wop feel...interesting album this, a bit of everything , good and bad..and includes Bobby Brown of course..nice review guys :)
Thanks Ken!
When you want to comment, but everything you have has already been said...
Problem?!
Fniss!
I find this like dinah moe humm and a few others of Frank's songs. It wears thin very quickly. Some of his views/opinions are outdated and backwards. This was outdated when it came out. Frank was a genius for me, but a flawed genius. Others have said it but Frank was like an eccentric uncle you didn't see very often but always felt better afterwards. And, like you do with "family", you accept them, warts and all.
Well said Paul.
I completely agree, except Dinah moe humm is one of my favorites lol
Don’t agree. This is beauty. Don’t think it is outdated. This is beauty.
Don't take offence on behalf of other people, that is exactly what is outdated. Frank was always making fun of stereotypes and it's great.
@@10roombizarro55 Beauty? Each to their own I guess.
Musically its interesting and I must try and knock out an Irish version such as." I want a horrible Weasley Irish dancer with mobile legs and long straight arms Who is completely without charms. I dont want me no red faced Potato eater who puts it out by the metre. No even thats not right.
Frank would make it on satellite radio today. You guys need to post the entire sheik yer bouti album for your viewers. Why not complete the Zappa catalogue by playing all the songs on this best selling album? Why not? Waiting for the patreons ,it will never happen! There are great songs on the album and lots of them.
It's not just a few finger pointing songs to the record industry, as Peter K INCORRECTLY posted.
You got a lot of views aleady, in just 2 days on one of his spoof songs of the album. There are others, bobby brown,etc, but also some great metal type rock as well,""I'm so cute"", city of tiny lights, rat tomago,etc.
And what about Zoot allures?? Dan even said Torture never stops was one of his favorite. These two albums are the peak, prime and the meat of Zappa's greatness
Looks like you should go on patreon and suggest it 😉
This song was one of Frank's thumb in the eye of the Congressional committee that was trying to label music with warnings.
This album came out years before the PMRC emerged...Zappa versus the Mothers of Prevention was his actual response.
@@Peter-K Well that blows that theory.
@@twwtjohns it was a thumb in the eye to the record companies he just escaped from, I doubt it would be the way it is if they had any say in the matter.
I'm pleasantly surprised that this gem is still out there! Frank was a genius.
The music starts like a Donald-Duck-movie - by the way..
😆nice
Doo Wap Doo wap !
