About Frank Zappa
American composer, lyricist, songwriter, guitarist, vocalist, bandleader, conductor, producer, filmmaker.
Born 21 December 1940 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Died 4 December 1993 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Frank Vincent Zappa was of Italian origin, his grandfather having arrived in America from Partinico, Sicily. Frank Zappa grew to be one of the most accomplished composers of the rock idiom, his music combining an understanding and appreciation for such contemporary classical figures as , , and . These influences, coupled with an affection for late '50s doo-wop, rock & roll, and skillful guitar-heavy rock, dominated pop in the '70s. However, Zappa was also a keen satirist, whose reserves of scorn and parody seemed bottomless, and whose wicked sense of humor and absurdity continued to delight his numerous fans -- even when his lyrics crossed the broadest bounds of taste.
Zappa was a prolific record-maker, astutely producing massive amounts of music on his own labels of , , and . And through distribution deals with and . This after long unhappy associations with industry giants like and the now-defunct . In the '80s, Zappa gained the rights to his old albums and began to reissue them, first on his own and then through . Throughout his recording career Zappa stayed consistently at the forefront of technology, investing in equipment, home-studio facilities and vault storage that would enable the fullest control over production of his works.
In 1988 his official autobiography emerged and he embarked on a world tour. Sadly, that was the end of his live performing when, in late 1991, it was confirmed that Zappa was seriously ill with cancer. Nevertheless, his schedule of album releases continued to be rapid. The (ZFT) continued with his wife (aka ) as the figurehead of the ZFT, until her death in 2015. The ZFT produced numerous posthumous releases and remasters of the back catalog. The children inherited the ZFT and remain in the industry, the force behind "Zappa Plays Zappa" as well as an accomplished guitarist in his own right; , and the more reserved .
Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 (Performer).

My buddies covered this song after i suggested it. It's fire!... ... Only they actually did the spoken part at the end. I remembered that word for word for years.
ohhh ... the way you squeeze me
Why do I find this song so amazing?! Cuz’ it is!
Oh fuck yes.
THIS FUCKING RIPS
Those leads are so tasty, this song is a masterpiece. Zappa is nuts.
Damn. I need a cheap Motel falsetto backrub every once in a while! Scrubbing Steel coils may shock bedbugs at your next Motel Zappa 6!
You can see where he was going to end up on the 'over-nite sensation' album
This could fit quite nicely on that album

Why is it only showing my views??
Makes fun of pop music.
Writes great pop song.
Zappa was the original shitposter.

FZ's subtle use of Wah Wah on this track is stunning. Especially on the solo. It's barely there.
Oh my god. Sick song from the beginning till the end. LOVE IT
if you like Zombie Wolf then you like this song thats what it is with different words
I introduced this song to my buddy that never heard it before. Every time he plays, even if the crowd isn't into the show, he plays this song, everyone will stop, their jaws will drop and after he's done, silence, then a second later screaming in unison with a standing ovation. This song is better than most of anything back then and it's a shame that the track didn't get much exposure. My buddy that I begged to watch this movie, thought he knew everything there was to hear from all of the bests, including Zappa. Ever since he heard it and learned it, it's magic everywhere he plays. I miss my VCR only because this was the reason for even owning one. My copy of 200 Motels got eaten after 4 years of constant playing. If anything would have been on radio by Zappa and it could be only one song, this would be the one I would pick
Brazenly altruistic! Should be played at all House and Senate Committee Hearings prior to Convention!
I wish Frank had followed through with reforming the Flo & Eddie mother's because that was the best vocal era for the band ,and the most fun for the audience .
Great track!
Such a great song. BUT, I wish the whole thing could be more of the first 1:30. That guitar riff over the "Open up your pocketbook" part is so fucking awesome, I can't even handle it.
I FREAKING ADORE THIS SONG
Outrageous! Motel 6 12, 24/7, or 200?. Better buy a Winnebago! Go RVing. Get anudda quata out! Tom Bodette - watch out!
Been a rollin' in the bed since the show got out
Now I'm getting weak in the knees
Musta done it eighty, ninety times
It mighta been a hundred
But you're the kinda girl that I really wanna please
You're the kinda girl that I really wanna please
Now I'm getting weak in the knees
Musta done it eighty, ninety times
It mighta been a hundred
But you're the kinda girl that I really wanna please
You're the kinda girl that I really wanna please
Love it!
does this impress you? if so, here's a quarter... call the bureau of butt lickins
Es cierto, Zappa era un enemigo acérrimo de las drogas; hasta ha echado varios músicos por el consumo de ellas. Muchisimos no lo creen, pero demostró que se puede ser más lisérgico con solo una taza de café, black water.
So hard for my finger my god
