695. Frank Zappa - Cosmik Debris

Also considered:
Peaches En Regalia
Joe's Garage

I freely admit, I don't really "get" Zappa.

You’ve got to really work as the listener to get FZ. And I could imagine upwards of 100 different songs that one could claim as his best, his work was so varied and unusual. I prefer One Size Fits All myself (the entire album) but if I post tomorrow, I might go with Zoot Allures or Them or Us. Two overused superlatives fit Frank more than anyone else in my book: unique and genius.

 
As far as I recall, beyond the zany, Zappa was a scale freak - in that he knew ton's of scales and really experimented there.

I'm not sure if my recollection is totally accurate, but it is what drew me to him years and years ago - mid 80's.

I also think a lot of his stuff is hard to listen to, but if ya bear it, there are some interesting things goin' on.'

Honestly, this is close to the very 1st song I remember in my life. I posted this elsewhere - in CIA's blues thread I believe...

...but, in short, we used to make up lyrics and sing to it - its a really great song for that, as the:

Oh yeah....everthin' ah'right - WOOOOOO  dah-dada-da-DA - <insert your story here> - Da na na na NA!

REPEAT!!!

Good times!

Ima a MAN - a Sorrowful MAN - spelled M....A.......N.....Constantly MAN....Full grown...danan aga ---- Ima rollin stonedd ---- A man child ---- nevah misss ---- when I strike out wit da wimmen ---- may bang my 2nd cousin -----   sittin in line   ---- 1 minite time --- OH Child   ----WHYYYYY me?  ---- OH MAN!!!   So natural born sad man ---- just rollin stoned ---- well well well well ---- rolll one MANS.....Don't forget ta pass me one  -----  yeah...

Someone whined about getting a three-day timeout.  The poster who is now Good Posting Judge (IIRC) posted something like "you know who else got a three-day timeout?  Jesus" and then something about how instead of whining about it he just flew right up to heaven.  Something like that.  Great callback by Nipsey.

I was listening to Conan's podcast this week and he astutely pointed out BTO having one of the worst lyrics of all time.  In "Taking Care of Business", a hard driving rock tune about hustling and making money, they claim

Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows

Fellows?   :lmao:

690. Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way

Probably somewhat ruined by its overuse in commercials and TV.

Dude....you may be dead to me.

For including this?  Sorry, I looked for a replacement last night but couldn’t justify a change.

DEAD TO ME!:)  I'm not sure there's enough shoe bourbon in Ohio to cleanse the rusted stank of that root. 

I'm actually super biased against RR.  They're from Pittsburgh.  I'm from Pittsburgh.  They came up in the 90s. I came up in the 90s.  It was impossible for me to escape their ish.  Had friends who loved them from jump in the early 90s, but the singers voice always annoyed the hell out of me.  And then 1994 rolled around and that song's pretty much been on loop in movies/commercials/etc.  Blah.   I'm sure whoever wrote it happy as @#$@#$% though.
