Album notes by FZ
THIS ALBUM IS DEDICATED TO ALL OUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE ATTENDED OUR CONCERTS YEAR AFTER YEAR, ALL OVER THE WORLD, WITHOUT WHOSE SUPPORT THESE PERFORMANCES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. THANKS FOR COMING TO THE SHOW, HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT… SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE.


Historic footnote by FZ

ALSO… the business about the underpants and making a quilt out of them etc., well… it’s really being made (yes, right at this very moment) by a lady artist in Lyons, Colorado named Emily James… and, as if that weren’t exciting enough, Ms. James insisted that all those lovely little under-garments you donated at the concerts NOT BE WASHED, thereby maintaining some exquisite sort of organic miasma in the vicinity of the finished work of art. She estimates it will take her a year to complete, and, when it’s done, she plans to exhibit in galleries across the U.S.

 Frank Zappa’s commissioned quilt made out of unwashed women’s underpants


1. Fine girl


[Notes by FZ] It is a studio cut, included so that conservative radio stations can play something on the air, thereby alerting people to the fact that this album exists.

2. Easy meat


[Notes by FZ] It is a live track recorded at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, with extra vocals overdubbed and massive overdubbage of keyboards on the classical section (all done by Tommy Mars). The guitar solo and out-chorus are from our most recent Santa Monica Civic Auditorium concert. There are no overdubs on this section (there are no overdubs on the rest of the album, actually… everything else is all live recording).
 
This girl is easy meat
I seen her on the street

See-through blouse an’ a tiny little dress
Her manner indiscreet…
I knew she was…
 
Easy, easy, easy meat
Easy, easy, easy meat
Easy, easy…
Easy, easy…
Easy meat, easy meat, easy meat, easy meat
 
She wanna take me home
Make me sweat and moan
Rub my head and beat me off
With a copy of Rolling Stone
 
Easy, easy, easy meat
Easy, easy, easy meat
Easy, easy…
Easy, easy…
Easy meat, easy meat, easy meat, easy meat
 
[Instrumental]
 
[Patrick O’Hearn] Uh… Wish he’d play something else… ‘cause uh… they just aren’t gonna stand for it
 
[Instrumental]
 
I told her I was late
I had another date
I can’t get off on the Rolling Stone
But the robots think it’s great…
I knew she was…
 
Easy, easy, easy meat
Easy, easy, easy meat
Easy, easy…
Easy, easy…
Easy meat, easy meat, easy meat, easy meat
 
Easy…
She’s so easy
Easy…
I saw her tiny titties through her see-through blouse
Just had to take the girl to my house
Easy… MEAT!

3. For the young sophisticate


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded in London at the Hammersmith Odeon.
 
Baby, baby, why you cryin’? Feeling sorry what she said
“Put down that rag” I told her, then “Don’t wanna hear you cry again”
 
Dear heart, dear heart
Tell me, tell me what’s the reason
Dear heart, dear heart
Tell me, tell me what’s the reason
 
You know she went to see the doctor and then she read a magazine
“Forget that book” I told her, then “Don’t wanna hear about the book again”
 
Dear heart, dear heart
(Work out, Vinnie)
Tell me, tell me what’s the reason
Dear heart, dear heart
(I thought you were in love, Vinnie)
Tell me, tell me what’s the reason
 
There was a picture on the story that showed a young sophisticator
Who falls in love three pages later with some aggressive agitator
And by and by he comes to hate her, ‘cause she don’t shave her underarms
And he can’t go for that ‘cause he’s a young sophisticator
 
Baby, baby, why you cryin’? It made me wonder what she said
“Forget that book” I told her, then “Don’t wanna hear ‘bout the book again”
 
Dear heart, dear heart
Tell me, tell me what’s the reason
Dear heart, dear heart
(How you doin’, Vinnie?)
Tell me, tell me what’s the reason
 
Would you still love me if my hair grew all down the side of my kimono?
Well, of course I would, it might be hip if it did not cause you to trip
 
Dear heart, dear heart
Or radiate a bad aroma
Dear heart, dear heart
Or radiate a cheap aroma
Dear heart, dear heart
Or radia-iate… Or radia-ia-ia-iate a Butzis aroma
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

4. Love of my life


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded at the Berkeley Community Theatre.
 
Ahh, love of my life
 
Thank you!
 
Ahh, love of my life
 
Love of my life, I love you so
Love of my life, don’t ever go
I love you only, love, love of my life
Love of my life
 
Stars in the sky, they never lie
Tell me you need me, don’t say goodbye
Don’t say it
I love you only, (love) love, love of my life
 
Stars in the sky, they never lie
Tell me you need me, don’t say goodbye
I love you, darling, I love you only
Don’t ever leave me, don’t make me lonely
 
Love of my life, I love you so
I love, I love, I love you so
Love of my life, don’t ever go
I love you only, love, love of my life
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Love of my life
Love of my life
Oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo
Love of my life
Oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo
Love of my life
Oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo-oo
Love of my…

5. I ain’t got no heart


[Notes by FZ] It was also recorded at the Berkeley Community Theatre.
 
Ain’t got no heart
I ain’t got no heart to give away
I sit and laugh at fools in love
Ha ha ha!
There ain’t no such thing as love
Ha ha!
No angels singing up above today
 
Girl, I don’t believe
Girl, I don’t believe in what you say
You say your heart is only mine
I say to you: “You must be blind
What makes you think that you’re so fine
 
That I would throw away
The groovy life I lead?
‘Cause, baby, what you’ve got, yeah
It sure ain’t what I need
 
Girl, you’d better go
Girl, you’d better go away
I think that life with you would be
Just not quite the thing for me
Why is it so hard to see my way?
 
Why should I be stuck with you?
Stuck with you
It’s just not what I want to do
Want to do
Why should an embrace or two
Embrace or two
Make me such a part of you?”
Part of you
I ain’t got no heart to give away
Away
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
 
Ain’t got no heart
Ain’t got no heart
I ain’t got no heart to give away

6. Panty rap


[Notes by FZ] Yet another Berkeley Community Theatre specimen.
 

[FZ] Hello there, welcome to the show. No, we’re not going to play “Cheepnis”, that’s right. But we are collecting underpants, and we are collecting brassieres, we are collecting small articles of feminine underclothing. We are making a quilt… really, trust me. So here’s the deal: if you’re a girl and you’re wearing a dress, whip ‘em off, that’s it, see? No problem. Even with a pin… (What does it say? “Nobody’s perfect”. I guess so…) What we got here? Oh! Now let’s see what’s on the inside. Uh-huh, trainer cooze. OK. S’more, s’more… underpants, brassieres, just send ‘em up, no problem. (Oh, you’ll warm up to it). If you’re wearing pants and you have bikinis on underneath your pants, rip the edges and pull ‘em out; if you’re wearing those big old ugly cotton jobs go to the toilet and take ‘em off, OK?
So far, ladies and gentlemen, the response from this particular community has not been especially gratifying. Perhaps you’re a little bit too intellectual here. Here’s something… tasteful, very tasteful… (You’ll get into it). AAY, oh, some more, look. It’s almost like going to a… Well, never mind, heh, heh, heh. I just want to remind you that you are in direct competition with Chicago, which so far has produced the highest yield of female underclothes of any place in the United States. Oh, here’s one, thank you very much. Chicago, if you’ll recall, was the town in which we received the very famous Voodoo Butter underpants, heh heh, the pants that nearly broke Tommy Mars’ neck. As soon as he took a whiff of those, his head went back this far, and he was heard to mutter: “Jeezus”. So, we don’t care what kind of condition they’re in. What’ve we got here? “Twat Book”, OK. Uh-huh, very good. (Zeets, whadduya think? He already has that one. No problem, though).
Well, tonight you’re gonna be entertained by: Ike Willis on guitar and vocals; Tommy Mars on keyboards and “Jeezus”. You’re also going to be entertaining yourselves a little bit, but don’t worry about it. Steve Vai on guitar, vocals and light blue hair…
[Ike Willis] Another contestant over there

[FZ] Oh, some more? OK. Vinnie Colaiuta on booklet. (Now what does this say? “Hi Frank, how about…” what does this say? “… my hat from the…”. “How about wearing my hat”. “Wearing”. How about this, this is a college community, right? How about “wearing”: “w-e-r-e-i-n-g”, never mind). Arthur Barrow on bass.
Bob Harris on keyboards, high vocal, trumpet and vegetables
And, ladies and gentlemen, the world-famous Ray White on guitar and vocals
OK, you ready?

7. Tell me you love me


[Notes by FZ] Yes, that’s right, the Berkeley Community Theatre.
 
One, two, three, four
 
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Girl! Girl! Girl!
I love you so hard now, I’m cryin’ for you
Don’t make me lose my pride
I want to come inside
And grab a hold of you
(Thank you!)
Grab a hold of you
 
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Girl! Girl! Girl!
I want to feel it, give me your love now
Don’t make me steal it
Don’t make me steal it
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, tell me you love me
TELL ME YOU LOVE ME!
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, tell me you love me
TELL ME YOU LOVE ME!
 
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Like I want you to
Tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Girl! Girl! Girl!
I love you so hard now, I’m cryin’ for you
Burnin’ with fire
I gotta hot desire
‘Cause I gotta make love with you
‘Cause I gotta make love with you
‘Cause I gotta make love with you
‘Cause I gotta make love with you
 
Tell me you love me, like I want you to
Tell me you love me, like I want you to
Tell me you love me, like I want you to

8. Now you see it - Now you don’t {Ancient armaments}


[Notes by FZ] It is from the opening of the concert in Carbondale, Illinois (at the college on Homecoming Night… you remember… you were there, right?).
 
[Instrumental]

9. Dance contest


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded at the N.Y.C. Palladium.
 
[FZ] One of… One of the things that I like best about playing in New York is this particular place, because it has… it has a stage that is conducive to, how you say in the trade, audience participation. Now, if there’s one thing that I really like, it’s audience participation. Now listen… I gotta figure out something that I can uh… D’you think we should have another dance contest tonight? Oh, hey. The injured person dance contest. Uh… Well, let’s see. Awright, I’ll tell you what we’re going to do. Here’s a… Here’s a guy who really wants to be in the dance contest awreety-awrighty, hey. OK, what… what…?
[Butch] You are great, man, you are great. You are the best, baby. Do “Dinah-moe humm”!
[FZ] All right, now wait a minute, what’s your name? Hey hey, what’s your name?
[Butch] Butch
[FZ] Awright, the dynamic Butch. Here’s… Here’s a girl that wants to dance with Butch. What’s your name?
[Lena] Lena
[FZ] What?
[Lena] Lena
[FZ] Lena, meet Butch. OK, Lena and Butch, couple number one, heh heh. OK, let’s see. That guy there, with his… that… that one there with the T-shirt on… no, no, the other one, this one… no, no… no, no, no, wait a minute, wait… well, you’re… actually, you’re very nice, though. Would you like to come up here? OK, but d’you think you can behave yourself? You… You’re sure you can behave yourself? OK, what’s your name?
[Tom] TOM, MAN. […] YOU, BABY, I […] YOU […]
[Tom] Arrgh, mmmf, glurg
[FZ] Awright, now wait… awright, awright, now wait…
[Tom] UGLINESS! UGLINESS!
[Guy] Frank, you’re my buddy! Arrgh, mmf
[FZ] Awright, wait a minute, wait a minute. I have an… I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world. If you’re out there and you’re cute, maybe you’re beautiful, I just want to tell you somethin’: there’s more of us ugly motherfuckers than you are, hey-y, so watch out. Now…
[Tom] Will you bring my girlfriend on stage, maybe?
[FZ] Sure. All right, now you… (He wants to get his girlfriend), go get your girlfriend
[Girl] Hey Zap!
[FZ] Good to see you again
[Girl] Squeak!
[FZ] I know
[Tom] I ain’t no fucking QUEER!
[FZ] All right, now look, here’s what we’re going to do. Awright… now… this… th they’ll be mashed, I’ll save them, I’ll save them for later
[Tom] I’M NOT A FUCKING QUEER!
[FZ] This man is trying desperately to let everybody know that he is not a queer. He’s not queer, he’s not queer. Awright, and now… you are going to dance, like you’ve never danced before…

10. The blue light


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded at the Berkeley Community Theatre with some sections edited in from the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.
 
Your ethos
Your pathos
Your Porthos
Your Aramis
Your Brut Cologne
You’re writing home
 
You are hopeless
Your hopelessness
Is rising around you, rising around you
 
You like it, it gives you something to do in the day time
 
Hey buddy, you need a hobby
You are tired of… moving forward
You think of the future and secretly you piddle your pants
The puddle of piddle which used to be little
Is rising around you, rising around you
 
You like it, it gives you something to do in the night time
 
Oh well, you travel to bars
You also go to Winchell’s Donuts and hang out with the Highway Patrol
Sometimes you’ll go to a pizza place
You go to Shakey’s to get that American kind of pizza that has the ugly, waxy, fake yellow kind of cheese on the top…
Then you go to Straw Hat Pizza to get all those artificial ingredients that never belonged on a pizza in the first place (but the white people really like it…)
Oh well, you’ll go anyplace, you’ll do anything
(Oh you’ll give me your underpants. I hope these aren’t yours, buddy… they’re very nice, though)
You’ll go to Santa Monica Boulevard
You’ll go to the Blue Parrot
No problem, you’ll go anyplace, you’ll do anything
Just so you can hang out with the others…
The others…
Just like you!
 
Afraid of the future
(“Death Valley Days” straight ahead)
The future is scary
Yes, it sure is!
 
Well, the puddle is rising
It smells like the ocean
A body of water
To isolate England

And also Reseda
The oil in patches

All over Atlantis

Atlantis. You remember Atlantis: Donovan, the guy with the brocade coat used to sing to you about Atlantis
You loved it, you were so involved then
That’s back in the days when you used to smoke a banana
You would scrape the stuff off the middle
You would bake it
You would smoke it
You even thought you was getting ripped from it
No problem
Woh! Atlantis!
They could really get down there
The plankton
The krill
The giant underwater pyramid
The squid decor
(Excuse me, Todd)
The big ol’ giant underwater door
The dome
The bubbles
The blue light!
 
Light, light, light, light… blue
Light, light, light, light… blue
Blue light, blue light
 
The seepage, the sewage, the rubbers, the napkins
Your ethos, your Porthos, your flag pole, your port hole
Your language
You’re frightened
The future
Your lan
You can’t even speak your own fucking language!
You can’t read it anymore

You can’t write it anymore
Your language
The future
Of your language
Your meat loaf
DON’T LET YOUR MEAT LOAF
HEH HEH HEH!
Your Micro-Nanette
Your Brut… Cologne

11. Tinsel Town rebellion


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded at the Berkeley Community Theatre.
 
From Madame Wong’s to Starwood to the Whisky on the Strip
You can hear the crashing, blasting strum of bands that come to be real hip
And get a record contract from a talent scout someday
They’ll sell their ass, their cocks and balls, they’ll take the check an’ walk away
 
If they’re lucky they’ll get famous for a week or two perhaps
They’ll buy some ugly clothes to wear and hope the business don’t collapse
Before some stupid magazine decides they’re really good
They’re a Tinsel Town Rebellion Band from DOWNTOWN HOLLYWOOD!
 
Tinsel Town Rebellion
Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
It’s a little bitty Tinsel Town Rebellion
A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
 
They used to play all kinds of stuff and some of it was nice
Some of it was musical, but then they took some guy’s advice
To get a record deal, he said, they would have to be more PUNK
Forget their chops and play real dumb or else they would be sunk
 
So off they go to S.I.R. to learn some stupid riffs
And practice all their poses in between their powder sniffs

Chop a line now, snort it up now
 
And when they think they’ve got it
They launch a new career
Who gives a fuck if what they play
Is somewhat insincere?
 
Tinsel Town Rebellion
Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
A Tinsel Town Rebellion
A Tinsel Town Rebellion Band
 
Did you know that in Tinsel Town the people down there think that substance is a bore?
And if your New Wave group looks good they’ll hurry on back for more
Of leather groups and plastic groups and groups that look real queer
The Tinsel Town aficionados come to see and not to hear
But then again this system works as perfect as a dream
It works for all of those record company pricks who come to skim the… CREAM
From the cesspools of excitement where Jim Morrison once stood
It’s the Tinsel Town Rebellion from downtown HOLLYWOOD!
 
Is everybody happy?
Oh, never mind!
No problem!

12. Pick me, I’m clean


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded at the Berkeley Community Theatre, except for the bridge, the guitar solo, and the out-chorus which were recorded at the Dallas Convention Center.
 
“Why not come over?
You’ll meet my mother
You’ll meet my sister
You’ll like my brother
Really you will…”
 
Then she said:
“I’m learning English
I can say: ‘Thank you’
I think I like you
Do you like my band-aid?
I hope you do…”
 
Oh oh oh
 
“I am not busy

I’m free to travel
Where are you going?
Maybe you’ll take me
I hope you do…”
 
Oh, she asked me:
“Do you know Vinnie?
He used to like me
I speak good English
I’m bathing with Peter
Pick me, I’m clean…”
 
Vinnie goes bare-back
Peter goes wet-back
Denny goes way back
Eddie should get back
Pick me, I’m clean…
 
Oh yeah, pick me, I’m clean
Oh yeah
Check out my band-aid
Oh yeah, pick me, I’m clean
Oh yeah
Check out my band-aid
Oh yeah, pick me, I’m clean
Oh yeah
Check out my band-aid
Oh yeah, pick me, I’m clean
Oh yeah
 
[Instrumental]
 
“Why not come over?
You’ll meet my mother
You’ll meet my sister
You’ll like my brother
Really you will…”
 
“I’m learning English
I can say: ‘Thank you
I think I like you
Do you like my band-aid?
I hope you do…”
 
“I am not busy
I’m free to travel
Where are you going?
Maybe you’ll take me
I hope you do…”
 
“Do you know Vinnie?
He used to like me
I speak good English
I’m bathing with Peter
Pick me, I’m clean…”

13. Bamboozled by love


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded in London at the Hammersmith Odeon.
 
Bamboozled by love

Oh Lord, the shit done hit the fan
Bamboozled by love
Oh Lord, the shit done hit the fan
 
The way that girl been carryin’ on
I swear I just don’t understand
Don’t you know, I treat her nice and kind
The way no other lover can
Now don’t you know, I treat her nice and kind
The way no other lover can
I came home the other day and she was
Suckin’ off some other man
 
I ain’t the type for beggin’
I ain’t the type to plead
If she don’t change those evil ways
I’m gonna make her bleed
She can scream and she can holler
Bang her head all along the wall
If she don’t give me what I want
She ain’t gonna have no head at all
 
Bamboozled by love
I said she fooled around too long
Bamboozled by love
I said she fooled around too long
Now I am mad and gettin’ meaner
I am here and she is gone
And the reason you have not seen her
She is underneath the lawn
I know she’s underneath the lawn, lawn, lawn
 
[Instrumental]
 
Now look, I ain’t the type for beggin’
Now I ain’t the type to plead
If she don’t change those evil ways
I’m gonna make her bleed
She can scream and she can holler
Bang her head all along the wall
If she don’t give me what I want
She gonna have no head at all
 
Bamboozled by love
I said she fooled around too long
Bamboozled by love
Oh Lord, I said she fooled around too long
Now I am mad and gettin’ meaner, meaner
I am here and she is gone
And the reason you have not seen her, seen her
Is she is underneath the lawn

14. Brown shoes don’t make it


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon also.
 
Brown shoes don’t make it
Brown shoes don’t make it
Quit school, why fake it?
Brown shoes don’t make it
 

TV dinner by the pool
Watch your brother grow a beard
Got another year of school
You’re OK, he’s too weird
Be a plumber
He’s a bummer
He’s a bummer
Every summer
Be a loyal plastic robot for a world that doesn’t care…
(That’s right!)
 
Smile at every ugly
Shine on your shoes & cut your hair
 
Be a jerk - Go to woik
Be a jerk - Go to woik
Be a jerk - Go to woik
Be a jerk - Go to woik
Do your job & do it right
Life’s a ball
TV tonight…
Do you love it?
Do you hate it?
There it is… the way you made it
 
A world of secret hungers
Perverting the men who make your laws
Every desire is hidden away
In a drawer… in a desk by a Naugahyde chair
On a rug where they walk and drool past the girls in the office
 
Hratche-plche hratche-plche hratche-plche hratche-plche
 
We see in the back of the City Hall mind
The dream of a girl about thirteen
 
OFF with her clothes and INTO a bed
Where she tickles his fancy all night long
 
His wife’s attending an orchid show
She squealed for a week to get him to go
But back in the bed, his teen-age queen
Is rocking & rolling & acting obscene
 
BABY, BABY
Hratche-plche hratche-plche
BABY, BABY
Hratche-plche hratche-plche
(Gimme them cakes now, uh! If I do, I’m gonna lose my…)
 
And he loves it, he loves it, it curls up his toes
She bites his fat neck and it lights up his nose
But he cannot be fooled, old City Hall Fred
She’s nasty, she’s nasty, she digs it in bed!
(That’s right!)
 
Do it again, ha, and do it some more
Hey, that does it, by golly and she’s nasty for sure
Nasty nasty nasty, nasty nasty nasty
(Only thirteen and she knows how to nasty…)
 
She’s a dirty young mind, corrupted, corroded
Well, she’s thirteen today and I hear she gets loaded
 
If she were my daughter, I’d…
What would you do, Frankie?
Well, if she were my daughter, I’d…
What would you do, Frankie?
If she were my daughter, I’d…
What would you do, Frankie?
(Check this out)
 
Smother my daughter in chocolate syrup
And strap her on again, oh baby!
Smother that girl in chocolate syrup
And strap her on again
She’s my teen-age baby, she turns me on
I’d like to make her do a nasty on the White House lawn
Smother my daughter in chocolate syrup
And boogie till the cows come home
 
Time to go home, Madge is on the phone
Gotta meet the Gurneys and a dozen grey attorneys

TV dinner by the pool, I’m so glad I finished school
Life is such a ball, I run the world from City Hall!
 
[Instrumental]

15. Peaches III


[Notes by FZ] It was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon also too. It is called “Peaches III” because this is the third time I have released “Peaches (En regalia)” on record: first on the “Hot Rats” album, then on “Live at the Fillmore…”, but this version is so bizarre, I figured you wouldn’t mind hearing it again.
 
[Instrumental]
 
[FZ] Let’s hear it for another great Italian, Conlon Nancarrow, ladies and gentlemen
Let’s hear it for another great Italian, ladies and gentlemen, Warren Cuccurullo (Work out, Warren)
Let’s hear it for another great Italian, Al Di Meola, ladies and gentlemen
Let’s hear it for another great Italian, Alvin Lee, ladies and gentlemen
 
Vinnie, Butzis, Vinnie’s girlfriend, Butzis’ girlfriend, Patty, Denny, uh… Marty (forget your name, even though you’ve been in the crew for a while), David, Ike
[Ed Mann] I’m flippin’ out
[Ike Willis] I’ll flip you to see who gets the room tonight
[FZ] Ed, another Vinnie, Arthur, Al Di Meola, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for coming to the show, hope you enjoyed it. On behalf of Alvin Lee, see you next time.
