Frank Zappa was such a talented and influential artist, yet you hardly ever hear about him. It's unfortunate that such a cool dude is so often overlooked. He is one of the top guitarists in history in my opinion. Just got done listening to 'Yo Mama' and the guitar work is incredible.

Can't forget that his music is hilarious as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
One two three four

I couldnt say where shes comin from,

But I just met a lady named dinah-moe humm

She stroll on over, say look here, bum,

I got a forty dollar bill says you cant make me ***

No way!

(yjes cant do it)

She made a bet with her sister whos a little bit dumb

She could prove it any time all men was scum

I dont mind that she called me a bum,

But I knew right away she was really gonna ***

(so I got down to it)

I whipped off her bloomersn stiffened my thumb

An applied rotation on her sugar plum

I pokedn stroked till my wrist got numb

But I still didnt hear no dinah-moe humm,

Dinah-moe humm

Dinah-moe humm

Dinah-moe humm

Wheres this dinah-moe

Comin from

I just spent three hours

An I aint got a crumb

From the dinah-moe, dinah-moe, dinah-moe

From the dinah-moe humm

I got a spot that gets me hot

But you aint been to it

I got a spot that gets me hot

But you aint been to it

I got a spot that gets me hot

But you aint been to it

I got a spot that gets me hot

But you aint been to it

And I cant get into it

Unless I get out of it

An I gotta be out of it

To get myself into it

cause I cant get into it

Unless I get out of it

An I gotta be out of it

Before I get into it

(she looked over at me with a glazed eye

And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area

And she said...)

And heres what she said:

Just get me wasted

An youre half-way there

cause if my minds tore up,

Well, then my body dont care

I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin

An said my-my-my

What sort of thing

Might this lady get high upon?

The forty dollar bill didnt matter no more

When her sister got nekkid an laid on the floor

She said dinah-moe might win the bet

But she could use a little (ow!) if I wasnt done yet

I told her...

Just because the sun

Want a place in the sky

No reason to assume

I wouldnt give her a try

So I pulled on her hair

Got her legs in the air

An asked her if she had any cooties in there

(whaddya mean cooties! no cooties on me!)

She was buns-up kneelin

Buns up!

I was wheelin an dealin

Wheelin an dealin an ooooh!

She surrender to the feelin

She sweetly surrendered

An she started in to squealin

Dinah-moe watched from the edge of the bed

With her lips just twitchin an her face gone red

Some drool rollin down

From the edge of her chin

While she spied the condition

Her sister was in

She quivered n quaked

An clutched at herself

Her sister made a joke

About her mental health

Until dinah-moe finally

Did give in

But I told her

All she really needed

Was some discipline...

I said:

Kiss my aura...dora...

Thats right!

You know why?

Because obviously it was real angora

And then I said:

Would you all like some more-a?

Right here on the flora?

An how bout you, fauna?

Do you wanna?

...frank, frank...up on stage...up on stage, frank...

Alright...

Take me up man, I want...

Take you up?

Yeah!

Sure!

Wait a minute, now that youre up on stage,

Whats your name?

Well, in a way, in a way...

Ok, heres...brian, this is your golden opportunity:

This is the frank zappa performer-like contest

Now heres what youre going to do:

Were gonna play this song again

And youre gonna pretend youre me.

And you pretend to sing the song

And dance all across the stage

And get these people a very good halloween show, would you?

Right! yeah! yeah!

Ok, ready?

Work! work!

It was the blackest night

There was no moon in sight

You know the stars aint shinin

cause the skys too tight

I heard the scarey wind

I seen some ugly trees

There was a werewolf honkin

long the side of me

Im mean n Im bad, yknow I aint no sissy

Got a big-***** girly by the name of chrissy

Talkin about her n my bike n me...

n this ride up the mountain of mystery, mystery

I noticed even the crickets

Was actin weird up here

And so I figured I might

Just drink a little beer

I said, gimme summa that what yer ****** on...

But there was no reply

cause she was gone...

Wheres those ******* that I like so well

n my ******* beer!

Is what I started to yell, then I heard this noise

Like a crunchin twig, n up jumped the devil...hes about this big...

He had a red suit on

An a widows peak

An then a pointed tail

n like a sulphur reek

Yes, it was him awright

I sweared I knowed it was

He had some human flesh

Stuck underneath his claws

You know it looked to me

Like it was ***** skin

I said, you sonofa*****!

cause I was mad at him,

Well he just got out his floss

n started cleanin his fang

So I shot him with my shooter

Said: bang bang bang

Then the sucker just laughed n said, put it away...

You know, I ate her all up...now what you

Gonna say?

You ate my chrissy? ******* n all!

Well, what about the beer then, boy? were the cans

This tall?

Even her boots? would I lie to you?

Shit, you musta been hungry! yes, this is true.

Well dont they pay you good for the

Stuff that you do?

Well, you know, I cant complain when the checks come through...

Well I want my chrissy, n I want my beer

So you just barf it back up now, devil,

Do you hear?

Blow it out your ***, motorcycle man! I mean, I am the devil,

Do you understand? just what will you give me

Contract here... yer goddam right, you son-of-a-*****,

Why there was milhous nixon n agnew, too...

n both of those suckers was worse n you...

Well, lets make a deal if you think thats true

I mean, youre the devil, so whatcha gonna do?

(improvised dialog)

Wait a minute...a tinge of doubt crosses my mind...when you say...

And then the devil let go of his pickle

And out come my girl, there was her *******

Flop-floppin...all around the world

She said I got me three beers and a fistful of downs

And Im gonna get ripped, so ****, you clowns!

Then she gave us the finger, it was rigid and stiff

Thats when the devil, he farted

And she went right over the cliff!

The devil was mad, I took off to my pad

I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

I swear I do declare, how did she get back there?

Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice ice baby (x2)

All right stop collaborate and listen

Ice is back with my brand new invention

Something grabs a hold of me tightly

Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop yo I don't know

Turn off the lights and I'll glow

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal

Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle

Dance go rush to the speaker that booms

I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom

Deadly when I play a dope melody

Anything less than the best is a felony

Love it or leave it you better gain weight

You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

CHORUS

Ice ice baby vanillla (x4)

Now that the party is jumping

With the bass kicked in and the vegas are pumpin'

Quick to the point to the point no faking

I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon

Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble

I go crazy when I hear a cymbal

And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo

I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo

Rollin' in my 5.0

With my rag-top down so my hair can blow

The girlies on standby waving just to say hi

Did you stop no I just drove by

Kept on pursuing to the next stop

I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block

The block was dead

Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue

Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis

Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis

Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine

Shay with a guage and Vanilla with a nine

Reading for the chumps on the wall

The chumps acting ill because they're so full of eight balls

Gunshots rang out like a bell

I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells

Falling on the concrete real fast

Jumped in my car slammed on the gas

Bumpet to bumper the avenue's packed

I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack

Police on the scene you know what I mean

They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

REPEAT CHORUS

Take heed 'cause I'm a lyrical poet

Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it

My town that created all the bass sound

Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground

'Cause my style's like a chemical spill

Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel

Conducted and formed

This is a hell of a concept

We make it hype and you want to step with this

Shay plays on the fade slice like a ninja

Cut like a razor blade so fast other DJs say ****

If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram

Keep my composure when it's time to get loose

Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice

If there was a problem yo I'll solve it

Check out the hook while Shay revolves it

Ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby (oh-oh) vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla

Ice ice baby vanilla ice

Yo man let's get out of here

Word to your mother

Ice ice baby too cold

Ice ice baby too cold too cold (x2)
