I heard Frank in 1965, the sound never left my head.I am 071 now, Franks music never really leaves any body's head untouched. P. S.with music he gave his life. Thanks Frank, R.L.D
I saw the Mothers at the aFillmore East when I was 15 yo. Stuck with me my entire life. Coolest compliment I ever got on my own music was a review in Billboard that used the phrase, “..plus a few Frank Zappa-inspired surprises thrown in.”
My thoughts exactly..............................it will never leave my memory and refreshes anew each time I hear it again.......I always wondered what I was going to be when I grew up you know........
Awesome stuff! I first heard this in 8th grade in the late 80s. When corporate pop artists were flooding the airwaves with Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. I said to myself "there's gotta be something better than this". A week later a guy in my science class was writing the Mothers of Invention logo on his notebook. I asked giggling "who are they?" He said "give me a blank cassette and I will show you." Intrigued, gave it to him the next day a week later I got it back. Hurried home to listen to it on my walkman to be safe. I was hooked! Couldn't believe the creativity, balls and genius Frank had. Blew the one dimensional transparent top 40 artists out of the water!!!
Watched the Mothers Of Invention at the Hollywood Palladium in the summer of 1966 Battle of the Bands. We were stoned, immaculate. Window Pane acid and Panama Red...
Did you ever see the Doors at the Whiskey a Go Go? I would have loved to see them in middle '66 when they were the house band. Hell, I would have loved to be at the London Fog while they were growing into something indefinable. I saw the Mothers three times (Fillmore, Winterland and the San Carlos theatre) ...the one where the stage went around in circles.
"......................because I've been checkin' it out, baby........I checked it out a couple of times.......who could imagine that they would freak out in Minnesota......?
My first exposure to The Mothers was this and "We're Only In It For The Money". I was in high school and didn't know what to make of it all. Thought it was creepy and scary in some ways. Now, 50 years later, I get it!
I first heard this song at a high school graduation party June, '67. But it wasn't by Frank. It was the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. Did a nice job. It takes some major stones to cover Zappa.
I am definitely the first one to tell you The Beatles were overrated, but reducing them to Yellow Submarine is kind of unfair. In the same year, they also put out songs like Rain, Eleanor Rigby, or Tomorrow Never Knows. Of course, they were still very much behind what guys like Frank Zappa or Brian Wilson were doing, but they were definitely further than Yellow Submarine.
@Yngsatchvai ...which means a lot of people like them. Cool. Popularity does not equal or even relate to quality. By that logic, Bon Jovi would be a far greater band than, say, Van der Graaf Generator.

Man, there was NOBODY doing anything like this when this album came out! Extremely influential.....Help I'm a Cub, Help I'm a Cub, sorry, as a Cardinals fan I had to go there......
oh that's funny...like I asked a vf 'Public Enemy doing a Christmas album..LOL remember,limited electronics or digital back then..Perfect tripping record...hmm.maybe that's why I'm like I am..; Ohhh those 60's ;)
Woody Hodge; Actually The Beatles did listen to the album in its entirety but it was just before they did Sgt Pepper. It was from Freak Out that Paul got the idea to do a concept album rather than just record several songs and see which songs made the cut.
This song has to be dedicated to all those people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome. These people who get paid to demonstrate and know nothing why they are there.

Linda DeBrabant I was born in 66 but in 76 when my uncle who was just 6 year older came to live with us introduced me to Zappa. It never leaves you.

The deep, existential dread that exudes from this track refuses to die, as each generation encounters the realisation anew.

I heard this album for the first time at age 10 in 1966. My mind has been warped ever since.
played this for my two female cousins from Kansas when it first came out back in 67 I think?. To see the look on their faces was priceless.
I boght the album in 1966.

@@Babyboss65 Thank you for pointing out Beatles are overrated. Still a great band, but not even in my Top 10.

dont compare zappa to anyone :/
He looks like Freddie Mercury if his nose grew and his hair never stopped
@@werewitch9466 nope he doesn't, but Charlie is a great musician too, especially with La Máquina de Hacer Pajaros
the Beatles were rumored to have listened to this during the time they were working one the white album. Number nine?

@@TheRabbipinchas and despite The Beatles openly praising Zappa he still did We're Only In It etc. He made fun of the very album he inspired!

N importe quoi ! La musique de fr zappa !! Ni cul ni tête ! Comment peut on aimer cette musique ?!
This song has to be dedicated to all those people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome. These people who get paid to demonstrate and know nothing why they are there.
Shouldn't their cry be "Help, I'm a sheep"? or a tool, or... too many bad words to insert there...
Always one that makes it political
What da fuck are they going on about!?? This is a weird recording (cant call it music really)
