Yo Zappa

[DFelon204409]

I'm going to be doing an Artist in Review for my college radio station on Frank Zappa and I'm curious as to which songs you all would use if you had 50 minutes of his music to play and why. The only songs I'm set on for now are "Peaches en Regalia" and "Black Napkins."

[Excursions]

Willie The Pimp is a fun song, maybe that. Just choose one or two songs from each album or something. Maybe that would be a bit too long considering his discography.

[DFelon204409]

1-2 songs from each album equals 120+ songs.

[Zebra]

'Hungry Freaks Daddy'
'It Must Be a Camel'
'Elvis Has Just Left the Building'
'Jazz From Hell'
'Duck Duck Goose'
'Joe's Garage'

Those are a few songs that come to mind. It's really hard to say because Zappa has so many songs.

[ATM]

Andy, Apostrophe, Baby Snakes, Cosmic Debris, Don't Eat the Yellow Snow, Muffin Man, Montana, You Are What You Is,etc..

[Zappa]

"RDNZL"
"Watermelon In Easter Hay" as a finisher
"Pygmy Twylyte" (from Roxy & Elsewhere)
"Brown Shoes Don't Make It"
"You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here"
"What Is The Ugliest Part of your Body?"
"Dickie's Such an Asshole" (from Broadway the Hard Way)
Maybe "Dental Hygiene Dilemma"
"Evelyn a Modified Dog"
"Titties and Beer" (from Zappa In New York)
"Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus"
"G-Spot Tornado" (from Jazz From Hell)

[GhostNote]

I cant remember the name of it, that one that the kids played on Rock school, the documentary before inca roads.

But other than that:

Inca Roads
On The Bus
Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?
Fembot In A Wet T-Shirt
Watermelon In Easter Hay
Catholic Girls

Many more, over 75 albums i believe

[Strange Brew]

dont eat the yellow snow, titties and beer. those are the ones that come to mind.

[Iai]

Definitely "What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body"? I really like "Who Needs The Peace Corps?" and "Willie The Pimp" too.

[DFelon204409]

Gas leak in the studio so the show has been delayed but thanks for the advice.
