Frank Zappa Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa: A Memorial Tribute

1. Black Napkins

FZ: Thank you! Now this is a, this is an instrumental song, it's a tender, slow-moving ballad sort of a song, that carries with it the implied message that the complete woman must also have an asshole.

2. Black Napkins "Zoot Allures" album version

 

3. Zoot Allures

 

4. Merely A Blues In A

FZ: AlrightAll right, look here folks: We're gonna play another song for ya, but, uh . . .
Napoleon: Well . . .

(FZ: No, in A. Hah?) Merely a blues in A, folks.

Oh, Yeah-uh.
Talk about it.

FZ: Goodnight.

Baby, it's cold outside.
It's up to your knees outside.
Baby, you're gonna freeze outside.
(Cold, yeahuh.

Take your clothes off and you'll freeze your balls off outside.
Oh, lord, oh.
Oh, lord, lord, lord, lord,

6. Watermelon In Easter Hay

This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER . . . Joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy during the fade-out of his imaginary song . . . He begins to feel depressed now. He knows the end is near.

7. Watermelon In Easter Hay "Joe's Garage" album version

He has realized at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the imagination of The Imaginer . . . and . . . ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway? . . . So . . . So . . . Excuse me . . . Ha ha ha! Mm-mh . . . So . . . Ha ha ha . . . Ha ha ha! Who gives a fuck anyway? So he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo . . .

Good night . . .
