Album: Mystery Disc
So, apparently this little "jam jive" (yes, I did just make that word up) was recorded back in '64. It's got Captain Beefheart on vocals. He just reads from a comic book advertisement, usually reciting just two words at a time. Sounds pretty cool for using "found lyrics". The song sounds just like the beginning of "Brown Shoes Don't Make It", they just jam it out for a bit, Frank plays a solo, everybody's happy. Aren't you happy now that you just read this. Let's get in our car's and drive happily down the road, beeping our horns, while listening to this song. I'll see you on the freeway.
Album: Weasels Ripped My Flesh
Damn, how do I describe this one. For the first minute and a half all you hear is this constant sound. It sounds like metal being ground up and torn and thrown around all within a giant wind tunnel being rained down upon by a shower of sparks. You can't really make out the individual instruments, they all mush together to form this collective creature. As it rings out for the finish you can hear a cool Moog patch. Next, Zappa says, "Goodnight boys and girls." There is a pause of about two seconds by the audience until they start applauding. The cheers start growing and you begin to hear people whistle and call out, "More!". "Thank you for coming to our concert".
