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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

cdollaz 08-07-11 11:45 PM

Re: Best song ever
 
Dancin Fool is horrible.

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.
