That song was done by Frank Zappa's band, The Mothers of Invention.

True, but Dweezil did a cover of it in the late 80's/early 90's. That was the first time I had heard of it, btw... I always liked Dweezil's cover of STAYING ALIVE with none other than Donny Osmond on lead vocals! Damn, them Zappa's are a weird lot...

I haven't heard Dweezil's version but Frank's original is great. I also love "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" and "Bobby Brown". Hilarious stuff.

I understand that cyndy--I stood no more than 6inches beside Alice Cooper in Vegas--double looked -to make sure my eyes were seeing correctly--and proceeded to stare down at my shoes----

I can so relate to that....especially if I see someone where I don't expect to meet them, like in a store or on a street...

"Calling All Vegetables" and "Sheik Yer Booty" are two of my faves.

Another one that surprises most people - they don't expect it from FZ

It has all of the elements I look for - blues guitar, rocking' vocals and a Hammond B3 with leslies .......

**sigh**

I have the sudden urge for a cigarette.
