First time I listened to this song was in 1998, I think. I was 9 or 10 years old, and I woke up one night around 3AM and couldnt go back to sleep, so I turned on the radio to entertain myself. A few songs later, this began to play, and I couldnt tell why but it sounded outta this world awesome to me. I didnt know a word in English back than, so I couldnt take notes of the lyrics or who was playing it. Some fivd years later, I accidently found it again, on youtube, and thats how I came to know who Zappa was. Such a great song and such a great artist. I mean, you don't even have to understand what they're singing to have fun and enjoy the music. Gotta love it.
1998,l and then five years later you found it on youtube? Unlikely. TH-cam wasnt founded back than, and even 2005,seven years from 1998, it was too unpopular to have it on the side.
It contains a dig at Bowie, using lyrics from Let's Dance & references to the video of that song. The 'cheezy atom bomb explosion' being a direct reference. Bowie had pinched one of Zappa's musicians & was never forgiven for that. (Adrian Belew, who Bowie enticed away to be on his tour)
Saw The Stinkfoot Orchestra 8/22 Winston's Ocean Beach/San Diego. Met Ray outside - nice guy - so I gave him a tour shirt I found in storage from a "70s Soul Jam" show given to me by the bands. He liked it so much he put it on and said "It fits perfect, my family will be jealous and will want one" and wore it throughout the show. Thanks for putting me on the pest list, er, I mean, guest list, Ray!
Be in my video Darling, every night I will rent a cage for you And mi-j-i-nits dressed in white (Teeny-little-tiny-little) Twirl around in a lap dissolve Pretend to sing the words I'll rent a gleaming limousine Release a flock of Ber-herna-herna-herna Herna-her-nerds Wear a leather collar And a dagger in your ear (Stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' at you-ou-ou-ou-ou) I will make you smell the glove And try to look sincere, then we'll Dance the blues (oh, yes we'll dance the blue) Let's dance the blues (what a terrific idea) Let's dance the blues (oh, you'll love it it's a way of life) Under the megawatt moonlight Pretend to be Chinese I'll make you wear red shoes There's a cheesy atom bomb explosion All the big groups use Atomic light will shine Through an old venetian blind Making patterens on your face And then it cuts to outer space With its billions and billions and billions and billions and Be in my video Darling, every night Everyone in cable-land Will say you're 'outta-sight' You can show your legs While you're getting in the car, then I will look repulsive While I mangle my guitar Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee Moo-ahhhh Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee Moo-ahhhh Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee Moo-ahhhh Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee Moo-ahhhh Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee Moo-ahhhh-wah-wah-wah After all the close-up shots of you In bondage leather They'll spray an alley with a hose And then we'll mind the harbour Dance the blues together Let's dance the blues again (sure we will) Let's dance the blues again In the middle of an alley Let's dance your face Let's dance your lips Let's dance your nose And then we'll dance your sinus Wooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooo It's definitely a case of moo-ahhhh
It's "MINE the harbour," actually. Like laying mines that blow up boats, you know, wartime stuff. Wherever they were playing was close to a Navy base. Such was Frank's humor.
I really like Bowie (in fact he's among my favorite musical artists) but I don't take any of Zappa's jabs personally. This was the best song of this segment of Zappa's career (maybe) making fun of the two best songs of this segment of Bowie's career, but it goes in several directions, and winds up just making fun of MTV tropes (which, like any ingrained tropes, are funny to make fun of). I wonder what this song would be like if it were about TH-cam instead of MTV...
@@hickorymccay2994 Aye, it’s a real shame FZ died when he did. Another 20 years worth of his acerbic wit would’ve been great! Not to mention all of the mad music we missed out on.

True… Frank Zappa was outspoken and mostly sanctioned from the Music Industry sadly…. Politicians was scared of him 😂

That song is DEFINITELY a case of Moo-aaaaaaaa!
“.....Ooooh, we sure doooo! Ah-ee-ah-ee-ah-ee-oh! Hey there people, ahm Bobby Brown....” etc etc etc.

The vocal performances on this song are so insane...so happy I've seen Ray. Hope I can catch Bobby, Scott and Ike at some point.
Me too 😁👍

I drove Ray to his hotel in NYC from the Iridium...Great man...I was starstruck !
Can't get enough of this daft brilliance. Love it, Frank!
The vocals in the chorus at 2:00 (right after billions and billions and) are just awesome. So deeply soulful and heartfelt!
Fantastic. I always return to Zappa. Amazing band, music, voices, accttitude, everything...
Way better than studio Version
Today’s world needs another Frank. Zappa
Would it understand One?
ABSOLUTELY FANTASIC !!!!!!!!!!!!
Be in my video
Darling, every night
I will rent a cage for you
And mi-j-i-nits dressed in white
(Teeny-little-tiny-little)
Twirl around in a lap dissolve
Pretend to sing the words
I'll rent a gleaming limousine
Release a flock of Ber-herna-herna-herna
Herna-her-nerds
Wear a leather collar
And a dagger in your ear
(Stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' at you-ou-ou-ou-ou)
I will make you smell the glove
And try to look sincere, then we'll
Dance the blues (oh, yes we'll dance the blue)
Let's dance the blues (what a terrific idea)
Let's dance the blues (oh, you'll love it it's a way of life)
Under the megawatt moonlight
Pretend to be Chinese
I'll make you wear red shoes
There's a cheesy atom bomb explosion
All the big groups use
Atomic light will shine
Through an old venetian blind
Making patterens on your face
And then it cuts to outer space
With its billions and billions and billions and billions and
Be in my video
Darling, every night
Everyone in cable-land
Will say you're 'outta-sight'
You can show your legs
While you're getting in the car, then
I will look repulsive
While I mangle my guitar
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
Moo-ahhhh
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
Moo-ahhhh
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
Moo-ahhhh
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
Moo-ahhhh
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
Moo-ahhhh-wah-wah-wah
After all the close-up shots of you
In bondage leather
They'll spray an alley with a hose
And then we'll mind the harbour
Dance the blues together
Let's dance the blues again (sure we will)
Let's dance the blues again
In the middle of an alley
Let's dance your face
Let's dance your lips
Let's dance your nose
And then we'll dance your sinus
Wooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooo
It's definitely a case of moo-ahhhh

Thank you !!!

Alobytes Whitestone you know what? Me too
Tan ácido como como siempre...tan genio y añorado... Jamás será olvidado! Zappa y sus amigos sonando en cada rincón a cada momento. 👍
Mine the harbor!

Add water, makes its own sauce....
beautiful song thank you MR ZAPPA.

Fantastic concert!
I was at this show it was fantastic outdoors in NYC..
Oh yes we'll dance the blues!
Do you realize that we have Bobby Martin Ray Brown and Ike Willis three unbelieveble vocalist all together on the same stage.?
You change the color of Ray's last name from White to brown but it's funny. Bobby Brown is actually the next song they go into.

I love the piss take of David Bowie! It wasn’t long after Bowie had stolen Adrian Belew, so you can see where that one came from!
I really like Bowie (in fact he's among my favorite musical artists) but I don't take any of Zappa's jabs personally. This was the best song of this segment of Zappa's career (maybe) making fun of the two best songs of this segment of Bowie's career, but it goes in several directions, and winds up just making fun of MTV tropes (which, like any ingrained tropes, are funny to make fun of).
