Best song ever

I apologize if there already was a thread like this (Please feel free to merge this with that thread, admin.), but I had to post this, it's historic:

That's a collector's item now! Good for you!

One time I saw a promo poster for the record and someone had put Frank's facial hair on Moon's face!

What's so bad about it? It's Frank Zappa. Unless you just think she's annoying.
I love it for what it is. At the time people interpreted it as cute, but they were trying to make fun of valley girls.

Re: Best song ever

I wouldn't call it the "best song ever".

I like the movie better...

It's a good song, but not near Frank's best.

Re: Best song ever

that's seriously one of the most painful five minutes i've ever endured. obviously, promoting this song as one the best ever is, um, a joke?

Me too!

When I lived in Los Angeles for college back in the early 1980s, I met her along with Molly Ringwald at Madame Wongs West.

Wait, there are people that don't know this song? It's both a novelty and '80s classic.

Re: Best song ever

I'm a little surprised that they allowed the word "bitchin'" even once, let alone multiple times, on a syndicated 1980's television show.

Wait, you guys have heard "Pac-Man Fever", right? How about "Puttin' on the Ritz" by Taco? Jeez, I feel old.

I think this pretty much goes without saying. The only thing that's cool about that song is if you just listen to the backing vocals and music, it sounds like a Zappa song.

Re: Best song ever

Perhaps it's not the greatest song ever recorded, but it was a Screamer of the Week on WLIR-FM in Hempstead back in the day, so, several other people thought it was the best song at that time.

Re: Best song ever

Zappa had hits with some of his worst songs. Dancin' Fool, anyone?

Re: Best song ever

This was all over LA radio in 1982-83. Fucking legend of the elementary schoolyard. The song did not have a video did it? Surprising considering it's popularity and the popularity of MTV.

They also allowed "Mr. Bu-Fu"/"Lord God King Bu-Fu" and the S&M "leather teddy" reference. Also, fixed.
