Was lucky enough to see him twice....he was beyond brilliant and one of my favorite 20th century personalities when it comes to social commentary...........miss him..
Sometimes I find myself singing this song to myself at work and suddenly realize this isn't the kind of thing people will understand if they hear you..
My friends older brother had this playin when we walked in, Bro look at me and handed me a joint, Cause my hair was long for my age at the time, still love this lp
I've sung the "Watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow" x 2 to my 9-year-old granddaughter and she loved it. She was over for Christmas Eve dinner today and we went out in the snow when she sang it herself out of the blue. Made me proud. What better way to help celebrate the day before Christmas than an impromptu Zappa recital from a fourth-grade girl. Now I just have to teach her the part about "He took a dog-doo snow-cone and stuck it in my right eye..." It's a work in progress.
I like the story that when people of the north had bad persons around, they pushed them off the edge of the ice. That’s my fantasy ending for Nanook, , his mother or the baby seals mother pushed the fur trapper off the ice.
Sheri Jolly yup! My big brother and sis hooked me up with a lot of stuff my peers in school had no idea about. I did the same for my kids. We used to play this c.d. (And other good ones) in the mornings when we were getting ready for school for them and work for us. Looking back, maybe not stuff you should expose elementary school kids to, but hey, they turned out Great! Son served in the Navy and my daughter teaches. So...i guess we did o.k. perhaps they'll carry it on to the next generation.
In what i think was about 1973 (I WAS 13) There was a House on the other side of the canyon where i lived in the Glendale Ca foothills. There were always half a dozen Hells Angels in the double garage working on their Harley,s . The Garage had an old fridge always full of beer , Couches and a pool table . Hey Kid ! You want a Beer ? Get in here and Clean these parts . I never became a Hells Angel , But i hung out with those guys for years . I first heard this song there .
How much do i love the Zappa man?................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................and more..........................
Was 15,i think,and living in Mckeesport,Pa. Best times that I"ll lways remember.Breakin up pounds of weed,for our own use Back then we gotta hold of some Columbian gold, and ,oh mama, the best freakin weed i ever smoked. Xx 😊
What a fantastic storyteller! Zappa always a child at heart. This song is a prime example of a simple story a child might make up about an adventure, throw in great embellishments and you've taken an otherwise quaint story and made it sublimely exquisite and utterly immersive. Always takes me right out to that tundra.
lol, I grew up listening to by older brother play this on the old record player, great stuff. Zappa was a creative genius without peer. thanks for the upload!
fucking genius'', thats that'', only artist that could as we hear on this song could be in a sense comical especially back in the real back in the daze and make exceptional music,and jam his ass off on guitar, amazing, we seen him in cleveland public, 76 or 77 , sometime right there and man what a show'', such spectacular entertainment ,noke cleveland.
Great Googlymoogly !!!! Another hauntingly Furkin stunning musical piece from Mr Zappa. To those who believe it was all drug based I would insist otherwise , he didn't it wasn't, it couldn't he dismissed band members who were too out of it, like you I thought the same for many years but he was a unique figure without the attitude adjusters that so many of us crave on a daily basis. by all accounts.
I did in Sydney in the 70s. Zappa was amazing, like someone from another planet. I had spat on toilet paper in my ears, up close and saw it all. Zappa was stunningly beautiful, soft silky hair, genius proper intelligence wonderful but a turd that night as he treated his band roughly. You look he sets it up, multiple levels of satire, gets his big tough glamour guys trilling inanity as if they believed. Satire and taking the Mickey out of everything, everyone and rightly so. Zappa double dealing everyone. Spaceship troopers has nothing on Zappa. So good.
I bought this album when I was twelve years old. I am now fifty-three and I am still fucked up. Is that a real poncho, or is that a Sear's poncho? You could make more money as a butcher. So don't you waste your time on me. I miss you Frank.
garcemac I'll take a drive to Beverley Hills just before dawn, and knock the little jockeys off the rich peoples lawns and before they get up I'll be gone :)

justjeff53 I was tooling around with my pals in my VW convertabile under the Northern Lights pretty much loaded blasting this on the way home from an out of town romp. Today this is so wrong, but that was then and we had guardian angels.
If people think FZ is too obtuse have them listen to Apostrophe. It's probably the most accessible to the musically less adventurous. I love the trumpet when the fur trapper shoe shows up. Some real guitar shredding.
right on! but it was the back roads of Slidell Louisiana in a vw bug,token and shroon'n and drinking Miller ponies on a deserted back roads. good times.
What a memory. Me and my buddys cruising the back roads of Ohio in my 1968 AMC Javelin, drinking Stroh's beer and listening to this on 8 track..
justjeff53 that sounds so freaking cool.
Saint Alfonzo's pancake breakfast
You guys must have really been drunk then . . . cause this did not get released until 1974 . . . NOT 1968
He said his car was a 1968 AMC Javelin, not that the year was 1968 ya knuckle head.
justjeff53 Damnit man
Was lucky enough to see him twice....he was beyond brilliant and one of my favorite 20th century personalities when it comes to social commentary...........miss him..

Sing it anyway ! preach it ! 😀
💀😂😂😂
😊🎶
It doesn't get less weird the more you listen to it.
+Courtney Glade Nor does Zappa.
William may Is that not the best horns you've ever heard? Do these people know of the best albums of Zappa's? If not, you should illuminate them.
Awesome
C. Cater you could say that about 95% of Zappa's enormous catalog of songs.
Nah man! It’s bloody brilliant!
Memories of listening to this on WLS AM radio in Chicago when i was like 14 in 1974.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity....then again, Zappa shows that you have to be a little insane to be THAT kind of genius!
Zappa is just having fun.
And the sort of person who does not take drugs because they would make him normal
My friends older brother had this playin when we walked in, Bro look at me and handed me a joint, Cause my hair was long for my age at the time, still love this lp
hippyhauler13 so your brother gave you a joint because you had long hair for your age and time 😄
Just in time
I've sung the "Watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow" x 2 to my 9-year-old granddaughter and she loved it. She was over for Christmas Eve dinner today and we went out in the snow when she sang it herself out of the blue. Made me proud. What better way to help celebrate the day before Christmas than an impromptu Zappa recital from a fourth-grade girl.
Now I just have to teach her the part about "He took a dog-doo snow-cone and stuck it in my right eye..." It's a work in progress.
I sing "don't be a naughty eskimo" to my dog, he seems to enjoy it
I like the story that when people of the north had bad persons around, they pushed them off the edge of the ice. That’s my fantasy ending for Nanook, , his mother or the baby seals mother pushed the fur trapper off the ice.
I grew up thinking watch out where the huskies go was a nursery rhyme
Here it comes now, the circular motion, Rub It!
My brother turned me on to Zappa at 10 years old. Thanks Scott!
Congatulations - you must have a really twisted mind. Luck girl!
Mine also but I was a little older. 14 I think.
Sheri Jolly yup! My big brother and sis hooked me up with a lot of stuff my peers in school had no idea about. I did the same for my kids. We used to play this c.d. (And other good ones) in the mornings when we were getting ready for school for them and work for us. Looking back, maybe not stuff you should expose elementary school kids to, but hey, they turned out Great! Son served in the Navy and my daughter teaches. So...i guess we did o.k. perhaps they'll carry it on to the next generation.
That was a really cool brother.
DunGotOld the COOLEST! my best friend too
frank, 1973 was a long time ago, but you will not be forgotten
Year l was Born ist was
In what i think was about 1973 (I WAS 13) There was a House on the other side of the canyon where i lived in the Glendale Ca foothills.
There were always half a dozen Hells Angels in the double garage working on their Harley,s . The Garage had an old fridge always full of beer , Couches and a pool table .
Hey Kid ! You want a Beer ? Get in here and Clean these parts .
I never became a Hells Angel , But i hung out with those guys for years .
I first heard this song there .
U shod ave asked s serious questionzz.
ShalÖm
I gots to know. Did they hook you up with your first experience with one of the women?
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!
Have had Huskies for the last 25 years and collect babt seals1 Thank you Frank, I love you.
The man right here. Zappa forever!!!!
How do you want to end this song ?
""NEVER""
omg forgot all about this music, just went back 35 years
Mamma cried...don't be a naughty eskimo! Zappa!
Listened with headphones for first time...oh my....Frank, you make life better!
Haven't heard this in 30 years...but I remembered all the words.
I've loved this song since I was a kid!!! Madness, but brilliant!!!
How much do i love the Zappa man?................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................and more..........................
It's like they started the tape, picked up their instruments, and just made it up as they went along. Always a pleasure to isten.
Trudin across the tuuundra
Frank gives you a vibe like no other RIP seal master
Was 15,i think,and living in Mckeesport,Pa. Best times that I"ll lways remember.Breakin up pounds of weed,for our own use Back then we gotta hold of some Columbian gold, and ,oh mama, the best freakin weed i ever smoked. Xx 😊
I’m 65 years old.
I always thought Zappa was a Genius.
His kids (all of them) got his talent.
What a fantastic storyteller! Zappa always a child at heart. This song is a prime example of a simple story a child might make up about an adventure, throw in great embellishments and you've taken an otherwise quaint story and made it sublimely exquisite and utterly immersive.

1974 .. Long time ago. 8 track is long gone. I still have it on vinyl.
I'd like to see that ancient Eskimo legend, on whatever it is they write it on up there.
Nice to see that a Who fan can appreciate Zappa too. :)
Timmy Tinney
panda express my feelings
That was a damn good guitar job!
Genius! bloody genius!
Zappa was a genius
I so I'm I.
The man was a musical genius he is sorely missed. By me anyway miss your MR ZAPPA
The first Zappa I ever heard.
You will never be the same person. You have been brought under the influence of the mothers of invention (and Frank)
Mary Anne Fontana me too!
fucking genius'', thats that'', only artist that could as we hear on this song could be in a sense comical especially back in the real back in the daze and make exceptional music,and jam his ass off on guitar, amazing, we seen him in cleveland public, 76 or 77 , sometime right there and man what a show'', such spectacular entertainment ,noke cleveland.
I'm here from Brazil listen this song in quarentine...
This is without a doubt a classic album! As are all of Franks! Just beautiful! What a genius!
Great Googlymoogly !!!! Another hauntingly Furkin stunning musical piece from Mr Zappa.

one of the best albums ever
Still good advice today. no matter how hard "THEY" try to make you eat it....DON'T DO IT !!!
Billy was a mountain, Ethel was a tree! Weeeee
I had this album. Growing up in Cleveland we new never to eat yellow snow anyway :D
I saw this guy live in Carbondale, Ill. Great concert!!!
I pounced, then I pounced again!!! Max Pocker!!!!
Great googly moogly!
I’ve been saying “Great Googly Moogly!” so long, I forgot where it came from. That’s the best part of getting old-resources, even forgotten ones.
If this song doesn't make you a Frank Zappa fan, then there is not much hope for you!
Masterpiece
+Jay Ray Hoo's Songs I Lived By Indeed
Great tune to get stoned to.
top class, RIP frank
Frank was a true genius.................
One of the best tunes EVER
sheer brilliance.
Those trumpets & the vocals on "lead filled snowshoe" just crack me up.......
Frank Zappa is an acquired taste but you have to love him
LoL One of the best Zappa songs. Just like "Stinkfoot" :D
(Watch out where the huskies go... :D)
The yellow snow is the best part.
Always loved this song, but feel weird that I'm just realizing how great the drumming is on this .
Percy Barbarossa Aynsley Dunbar?
And all scored. Let that sink in a mo
I wasn't fortunate enough to get to see him in concert. I did go see Zappa plays Zappa a few years ago. It was an amazing night.
I did in Sydney in the 70s. Zappa was amazing, like someone from another planet. I had spat on toilet paper in my ears, up close and saw it all. Zappa was stunningly beautiful, soft silky hair, genius proper intelligence wonderful but a turd that night as he treated his band roughly.

twisted amazing crazyness love it
I'm 23 years old and got turned on to Frank when I played drums for our jazz band and absolutely fell in love
Whoa youre 23! How coooooooooooooool
Great googly moogly!!!😀😀
It was like that in the U.S for a couple of days where it was just 100 degrees below zero most of the time.
Mush-terpiece! Don't eat the yellow snow and avoid those dog doo sno cones at all costs.
Great memories!! RIP Mr Frank
Absolutely gorgeous music, sprinkled with a touch of sheer insanity.
amazing musicician in a .
I bought this album when I was twelve years old. I am now fifty-three and I am still fucked up. Is that a real poncho, or is that a Sear's poncho? You could make more money as a butcher. So don't you waste your time on me. I miss you Frank.

"Dinah-Moe Humm"
[backing vocals Tina Turner & The Ikettes]
I couldn't say where she's coming' 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 say you can't make me cum
(Y'jes can't do it)
She made a bet with her sister who's a little bit dumb
She could prove it any time all men was scum
I don't mind that she called me a bum,
But I knew right away she was really gonna cum
(So I got down to it)
I whipped off her bloomers 'n stiffened my thumb
An' applied rotation on her sugar plum
I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb
But I still didn't hear no Dinah-Moe Humm,
Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe Humm
Where's this Dinah-Moe
Comin' from
I done spent three hours
An' I ain't got a crumb
From the Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe
From the Dinah-Moe Humm
Got a spot that gets me hot, ow!
An' you ain't been to it
(No no no no!)
Got a spot that gets me hot, ow!
An' you ain't been to it
(No no no!)
Got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain't been to it
(No no no no no!)
Got a spot that gets me hot
But you ain't been to it
'Cause I can't get into it
Unless I get out of it
An' I gotta get out of it
Before I get into it
'Cause I never get into it
Unless I get out of it
An' I gotta be out of it
To get myself into it
(She looked over at me with a glazed eye
And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area
And she said . . . )
Just get me wasted
An' you're half-way there
'Cause if my mind's tore up,
Then my body don't care
I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin
An' said my-my-my
What sort of thing
Might this lady get high upon?
I checked out her sister
Who was holdin' the bet
An' wondered what kind of trip
The young lady was on
The forty dollar bill didn't 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 [?] if I wasn't done yet
I told her . . .
Just because the sun
Want a place in the sky
No reason to assume
I wouldn't give her a try
So I pulled on her hair
Got her legs in the air
An' asked if she had any cooties on 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 a-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
While her sister made a joke
About her mental health
'Till Dinah-Moe finally
Did give in
But I told her
All she really needed
Was some discipline . . .
Kiss my aura . . . Dora . . .
M-M-M . . . it's real angora
Would y'all like some more-a?
Right here on the flora?
An' how 'bout you, Fauna?
Y'wanna?
MMM . . . sound like you're chokin' on somethin'
Did you say you want some more?
Well, here's some more . . .
(Oh, baby . . . )
Oh, sure . . . look,
D'you think I could interest you
In a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers?
MMM . . . tweezers!
Wait a minute, lemme sterilize 'em . . .
Gimme your lighter . . .
I couldn't say where she's coming' 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 say you can't make me cum
(Y'jes can't do it)
I whipped off her bloomers 'n stiffened my thumb
An' applied rotation on her sugar plum
I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb
An' you know I heard some Dinah-Moe Humm
Some Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe
Dinah-Moe
Some Dinah-Moe
An' a little Dinah-Moe
An' some Dinah-Moe
An' some Dinah-Moe
An' some Dinah-Moe
An' a little Dinah-Moe
An' some Dinah-Moe
An' some Dinah-Moe
An' some Dinah-Moe
An' a Dinah-Moe again
An' Dinah-Moe
An' Dora too, lil' Dinah 'n Dora
An' Dinah-Moe
Kiss my aura, Dinah
here fido....here fido

When I discovered Frank when I was 15n by watching his TV Show "Atoken Of My Extreme" my understanding of music was totaly turned upside down by the freak Zappa
Precious !!!!!
an ancient eskimo-legend!
I enjoy the beginning segment of this song with the chorus. The lyrics are ridiculous but the music is skillful and Frank is really good on guitar. I am thinking about buying this album on CD which will be my first Frank Zappa album.
It is good & different . So funny at times , & Yes, he is really good on that guitar.
You should. This is a Great Zappa album
φοβαμαι οτι δεν εχεισ ακουσει αρκετον ΖΑΑΡΑ
apostolos skynard Shut the F up.
the lyrics are ridicules on purpose...just so you know.......lol......
justjeff53 I was tooling around with my pals in my VW convertabile under the Northern Lights pretty much loaded blasting this on the way home from an out of town romp. Today this is so wrong, but that was then and we had guardian angels.
Perfect since I am snowed in today.
I still eat the yellow snow!
fabulous !
Great gooooogelyyyyy boooogely
Still good stuff after all these years.
I feel like knocking little jockeys off the rich peoples lawns
Just gets better
Greatness!! “I cant’t seeee...” 👀👨🦯
hi just wanna say thanks to my friend pauline for introducing me to frank.
On my all time top 3
And then in a fit of anger I pounced and I pounced again
brilliant.
GREAT ZAPPA FOREVER!!!
If people think FZ is too obtuse have them listen to Apostrophe. It's probably the most accessible to the musically less adventurous. I love the trumpet when the fur trapper shoe shows up. Some real guitar shredding.
he went wap with a lead filled snowshoe
Love it
right on! but it was the back roads of Slidell Louisiana in a vw bug,token and shroon'n and drinking Miller ponies on a deserted back roads. good times.
frank is a musical genius
Frank zappa is the definition of genius+ the most normal person you will ever seen
With a led filled snowshoe,and he hit em on the fin and ....Great Gooooooglyyy Mooooooogly!!!!
brilliant band
PEEK A BOO !
Genius
Nanook no no !
fine song
