Favourite Zappa Song?

HamburgerWhale · 11-08-2020, 08:49 AM

Well Frank Zappa is now getting a documentary this year, so to celebrate lets tell each other our favourite songs from him.

To me I would go with a tie between "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee." and "St Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast".

Dweezil's cover of Inca Roads with the very long guitar solo is actually one of my favorite because he put his spin on things.

Other than that, probably Pojama People, Punky's Whips, or What's New in Baltimore. I wasn't a huge fan of his early/Mothers era stuff tbh which is probably blasphemy.

Here's the song, by the way. One of my favorite guitar solos ever. I think it beats out Frank's original recordings of it.

I'll also add that I've seen ZPZ in concert and also the Frank Zappa hologram tour in Baltimore. The hologram was sort of lame because it was literally just a big TV screen. They at least played some cool, bizarre animations over his music so not a total loss.
