- FRANK ZAPPA -- DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW
THIS MAY SEEM MUNDANE TO THE OLD FOLKS, BUT IT IS WISE ADVICE FOR THE YOUNGSTERS WHO IDENTIFY FLAVORS BY COLORS AND UPC NUMBERS/.
Had not listened to this in years, and it still hits
Wait until this Winter!
Only Frank could write a rock anthem in 7/4 time signature like that. What I wouldn’t give to see him play live just once
I remember this was released. I was a young teen. We were all hooked. What a classic. Saw Frank live in '80. Saw Dweezil 3 times. Music is the best.
Same here. I was at a neighbor's house. He was a couple years older along with his friends from school. We were getting high and someone put this album on and played stink foot. Remember we use to put the beds on the floor? Well, I was sitting on it listening and I was sooo stoned I laughed so hard and fell onto the floor and couldn't stop laughing. They all kind of laughed at me like I was the young kid who couldn't handle his weed : )
This is one of my favorite songs.
There ARE others out there that may sway your viewpoint...JS.
@@plasticdadaii8225 I suppose that isnt a bad idea, considering I never heard of him before 🖖🏻
@@RealFrankZappa HAHAHAHA!
I grew up with this music, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention were my favorite bands
I can tell. There are hundreds of FZ songs here, Name a song. I bet it's here. Stop back in for some more. They aren't slide shows.
Hands down one of the most gifted musicians on this planet.
And truly a weird songwriter
Or unique. You decide,,,
I don't know what planet Frank first arrived from on this hunk of rock but it was not earth . I miss him so much, miss the music and the humor.
weird ,? not at all
@@jimhutchison yes weird. I did tons of acid in the early 90s and his music is still weird
The lyrical content and pattern is weird great but weird
The King of all Music.
Don't forget the Wordsmithing!!!! Most poets can't play a wind-up guitar and most guitar players can't carry a sentence once the stairs come into view.
Indeed good luck beating this one for a cool great old rock song.
Oh the deadly yellow snow! From right there where the huskies go!
I CANT SEE!
I remember hearing this for the first time when I was in my 20's. (I was stoned.) I think I laughed harder than just about any other time in my life, especially when he said, "And he stood up, and he looked around, and he said, 'I can't see!'... doh doh doh doh dohhhh." Some time later I played it for my mother. I thought it would crack her up. It didn't. When it was over I asked her if she thought it was funny. She said no, she thought it was kind of sad.
Interesting.
uhm is your mom from Germanic people by background? If you take the song at its word, literally, I suppose it is a sad song and the bluesy music accompanying it. Yeah, I can see where she could think of it as a sad song. I am also of German (and Irish) persuasion and I thought it was funny too. Shrug, Zappa was a Genius.
@Astrobrant2 ~ I'd be interested in knowing what year she was born. I guess it could be sad, but it's satire ! Yeah, I get the ' doh ...." part lol. ( weed part too ) It sounds SO....cool on the car stereo with the 4 speakers lol. But when I listen to Apostrophe ~ I always drive to fast, even when I try not to !
I was 20tw too but as I'm french ans dont really understood all was sang, and as I was stone too, I supposed that it was an humoristic song. Later, as my english was more fluent, I realized that it was effectively an humoristic song but I anderstand then the real story sang on these songs ( all thoses of thé Apostopher's album) and I thought that's really a wonderfull album witch is one of my best albums never listen un my long life (I'm 56 now and stopped smoking for a long long time... ;-) ).....
@Astrobrant2 - I’m one of those cats who gets folks really stoned and puts this on cause yeah, someone did the same for me in my 20s as well ;-)
Hmmm what.... the fur trapper is actually murdering a baby seal bludgeoning it over the head, nose and fin... yeah that's kind 'o sad! And it was his favorite baby seal to ;)
At the company dinner in December I talked about Frank Zappa with one of the big bosses. He didn't know Frank, so he did a quick search and found this song. He looked at me and asked, "Do you really like this stuff ???".
I replied: "Absolutely yes!"
I think he deepened Frank's knowledge, I was confirmed! :)
There is always hope.
And she said, "boop boop diddy." with a tear in her eye.
Zappa rules.
Save your money, don't go to the show.
This is awesome, right video for the song. You're reading an original Zappa fan. I saw him in the music hall like 1978.
Pretty spiffy isn't it?
Frank Zappa was the very first rock concert I went to. It was when Frank I & The Mothers did Dinah Moe Humm. Elvin Bishop opened the show. It was a great concert.
Me too! My first concert was Frank Zappa at The Beacon Theater, NYC... he stopped the concert because a toddler wandered up to the stage and FZ was irate that the parents weren’t even in the theater room (!!). He was very concerned about the child, and just stopped the show and demanded the parents come to the stage... it took them an uncomfortably long time...where he then reprimanded them, in front of EVERYONE 😆🤣👍👍👍. It was really something! I was super impressed with him, as a decent human being, standing up for an abandoned child. Oh, and yeah, I fell in love with his brain & music.
Love this song and have sung it ever since. My dad sat us down to watch 'Nanook of the North' before moving to Alaska in 1965. After that I saw plenty of yellow snow as I looked after a dog team.
Arf!
Most excellent B&W motion picture rendition of Zappa's epic musical story about revenge against a brutal fur trapper using yellow snow from where the huskies go. Rub it!
B&W is the wave of the future when you find out about CGI!
read this at 500 wpm with zappas voice lol
Here it goes, the circular motion, RUB IT!
The DiscReet Records 45 RPM single version of this song peaked as high as No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1974. Great, catchy, oddball rock tune. A classic.
There is no scale for Art. If you rely on polls and sales as art, you had better kill your TV before it kills you.
I think I first heard this about 20 years ago as a 12 year old with a Best Of Doctor Demento CD. I had heard of Zappa but that was my first time hearing his tunes. Immediately begged my parents for the first few Mothers albums and have been hooked ever since. Hot Rats will always be my fave but his catalogue is so large, diverse and impressive. This guy truly was a musical genius. RIP Frank
Cool for adding to the cooler parts of this channel!
Back in the 90's Al Gore's wife wanted to ban Frçank Zappa's music. Meanwhile, the newly freed peou
Used to sing I cant see yo my grandson when he was just a baby. He loved it then but now he is a teenager. All these years and I still get a kick out of this song. This one is a keeper!
A phenomenal tribute to Frank Zappa's genius. Excellent.
THANK YOU...
he may have been a genius but why on earth would he name his daughter "moon unit " ??
Ryan Beers I RECKON THAT'S WHERE THE GENIUS COMES IN???
Love this song. ❤
Yes! And it has historical significance as well! Thanks for popping by. Usually this song gets comments when it has snowed. Should I check my local weather?
Apostrophe was one of the first Zappa albums I ever heard ( after Roxy & Elsewhere!) This song, and all the rest on this Masterpiece were my True introduction to F.Z. !!! R.I.P., my friend!!!☮️🖕🏻
Yeah! Amen!
Roxy and One Size and a car and long drives got me started.
Love this tune and Frank Zappa! I can literally hear the wind blow outside and over my speakers right now in Minnesota!!!...It's fucking cold eh.
Hope it gets warmer there!
It's 27 °F here feels like 19°F light snow Jan 20, 2020. Love this tune now as much as I did then. Zappa is genius music, music lives forever 🕊⚘
The full version?! Woo! And this music video 👌
The full album version is on Bitchute @Priltz. Check it out.
That got me just about as evil as an Eskimo boy could be
My big brother turned me on to Zappa in 1974, been a fan ever since. Zappa Crappa!
Semper Phi!!!!!
Charlie Chaplin film does this Frank Zappa classic is a visual treat
It was a co-conspiracy. Please don't fault either one. They were both in this together from the beginning. And it was all set up by a fur trapper with a camera looking for a guy named Nanook,
I have been a fan of FZ since Freak Out, I was 18 very naïve when introduced to Frank, I was able to watch him perform over 15 times, and no I was not a groupie lol I loved to watch him conduct and play of course. I got more people to listen to his music over the yrs. Especially if they play the guitar...and were able to hear and see him perform. Miss him so much and I to have seen Dweezil 3 times he opened for Chick Corea one concert and Jean Luc Ponty was with Corea and said he had not seen Dweezil since he played with FZ when Dweezil was 5 yrs old.
Wow! Very cool!!!! Stop back in. There is lots in here.
My life would have been boring if not for the music of Frank Zappa , because of him I was exposed to not just great music but a way of thinking that I had no idea about. Lost in learning how to survive with two alcoholics...the two musicians that influenced me the most...Frank Zappa and Cat Stevens...I know extreme lol Anyway I still listen to FZ and have gone to see Dweezil 3 times. wonderful to hear his music live again. Thank you for down loading his music:)
Cheers for that. He was truly one of a kind and I couldn't agree with you more about how influential on me as well, especially when is came to government and society and other things that were worthy of a good sneer.. . Pop in anytime. There's plenty of Frank here.
I had the unmitigated audacity to post this to a friend's page today! Thanks for making this awesome video testimonial to the eternal wisdom of Frank Zappa! ....Now I'm off to St. Alphonso's for my pancake breakfast.
Karyne Golden Gonna weedle on the bingo cards and blow up the latrine?
Lmao! And abuse a sausage patty too PLASTICDADA II
It's 👌 awesome. Some tunes get better with age do they not?
Just watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow
@@thefeleapz4144 timeless wisdom.
And let's not forget to pair this with Corky and the Juice Pigs and their song, ”The Only Gay Eskimo.”
Well it may seem whimsical on the surface that would be a horrible fate. Dating is hard enough when your dating pool is an ocean; it's all but impossible when your dating pool's just a hole for ice fishing.
This is the lp that introduced frank zappa to all the rest of ya
Zappa, genius musician ⚘ Bravo
Wait for it......
"I can't see"...
Cracks me up, even now.
I like how you used Charlie Chaplin's film Gold Rush.
Yeah, good idea. should have used this song in Game of Thrones too.
Most amazing musician of our time. Maybe even anytime, genius mixed with a healthy dose of great humor.
Eddie Van said Zappa tunes sound like a type writer...
...nailed it.
He was Steve Vai's mentor.
This so fits the blizzard of 2016, thought reminds me of the Blizzard of '78. Zappa always had a way with music!
I was in Germany in 77" tripping and listening to this and it was great. Never forget it. Kids shhhh
And got to see Frank over 15 concerts:)
I saw him in ludvigshafen Germany in late 75 in the army at the time Lebanese blond hash perple Microsoft acid I remember it like it was yesterday
Seen him in 84 and the hologram tour. Great stuff.Go to the grave satisfied I got to see what I need to.
Great googly moogly!
Actually this is a Corona lockdown tune about staying clear of Twitter for a while
he took a dog doo snow cone and
stuffed it in my right eye
he took a dog doo snow cone and
stuffed it in my other eye
and the husky wee-wee i mean the
doggy wee-wee has blinded me
and i can't see - temporarily
🤣🙌🏼🔥
After a long night in the café, a friend of mine and I used to recite the whole suite, it was around 1977 (snowing, and a few degrees below zero)
HAHAHA. CENTIGRADES OR FARENHEIT?
PLASTICDADA II Kelvins!
Excellent 👍
Salamat and Gracias.
It cracks me up at the very end, when Zappa says “to the parish of Saint Alfonso”, you hear somebody in the background laughing hysterically. It sounds LSD induced
Unless you were there we will never know. I wasn't. I'll leave that open to debate. Anyone else?
THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COMMENT. YOU MAY WISH TO CHECK OUT MOGSYDOG FOR EVEN MORE STUNNING FRANK INTERPRETATIONS. CHEERS!!!
I think Frank Zappa (and Charlie Chaplin) would approve.
people of Checkoslovackia built a statue of him.
That was nice of them! Have they taken it down because of his political views yet?
LOVE the visuals (love the song too - that goes without saying)
I raised my kids on this. They aren't on drugs nor are they in jail.
I knew someone should join theese too together, always knew he was talking about nanook of the north!
Yje actual Nanook of the North doesn't have dog-doo snow
coms. but it came in Handy for the Resident's ESKIMO
This is the very first Zappa song i ever heard. Then i heard Dinah Moe Hum
You must have been listen on an old 45 rpm player. Very cool.
@@plasticdadaii8225 No, it was the entire Apostrophe' LP
I ♣ Baby Seals
Out go to album whenever we we off on a trip , oooh happy happy days

Or right there, too!
Unless you have a Ski-doo,,,
5:15 ... perfect!!! this was always one of my favorite Zappa tunes but coupled with this video I laughed so hard I think I hurt myself..... many thanks for putting this together... :)
lwc2009 olfgang petry
I can’t see
Ii like this timeline!
Why Thank You!
i’m bored to tears in a waiting room and my boy just started goofily singing this. when he was like 6, i sang part of it to him; he’s 9 now, and just burst into it again even tho he’s never actually heard the song. i’m playing it for him right now and he pretty much hates it. hah.
frank was pretty wild and strange, but i just think he was smthng to be marveled at due to his originality, the fact that he could play really well, and being ahead of his time.
as far as song writing goes, i appreciate the experimental aspects of all his stuff, but putting aside the story telling and catchiness-he never really made any music that i really FELT. he wasn’t that kind of song writer, so i’ve never been much of a fan. if i’m wrong somehow, then link me up, cuz i’m eager to hear it.
discovering really old songs i somehow missed over the yrs is the best... lately i’ve been on a sam cooke, old BOWIE, CCR, t. rex, lesser known beatles and pink floyd stuff, + a little fleetwood mac, simon&garfunkel, albert hammond, and moody blues... an oldies kick i guess you could say. some amazing song writing like we’ll never see again. leave me some suggestions, yo
Ye shall arrive at it when you deem fit. Thanks for taking a chance and come back whenever you wish. The door is always open.
Watermelon in Easter hay. It's part of the Joes Garage opera. That is to me, and many others a very emotive piece. It's the song that I wish to be played by my friends when I pass. I was surprised at how many had the same idea.
Wise advice indeed PlasticDada II.
Judging by where we are now, everyone who operates a gaming platform needs to be reminded.
Well Done Bravo!
.... ..SEEN FRANK & THE MOTHERS IN,,,BUFFALO.N.Y. EARLEY 70'S......FKING AWESOME

Peakabooooo oooouuuuuu

.....GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO.!!!...
Thank you. And thanks for stopping in!
THANK YOU !!!
Thank you too!
Heard this on Doctor Demento back in the day...
Those were the days!
Here it goes now, the circular motion, Rub It!
Here it goes now, the circular motion. Rub it!
It's a battle between the Zig zag man and Jackie Gleason in a fur coat.
The Zig Zag Wanderer and the Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler of the Raccoon Lodge?
classic!
Great googly moogly🙌
Tobbagans are on sale.
grande zappa¡¡¡
Got to be inspired by an acid trip, right? Love this song lol
Why?
@@plasticdadaii8225 wym why dude because its fuckin wild lmao
He was abstitent
Zappa never did drugs
ty bro
Terrific job on this vid!
***** Thank you. Do come back for more
I will! Love how you put this video together..awesome
GREAT GOOGLY-MOOGLY!!!
Modern day motszart
Yeah, one of them dewds.
Great visuals, how did you know where to find them? one wonders, especially the outstretched arms!
There's a lot of luck involved, a lot of editing, and sometimes just seeing a clip can conjure up a song to go along with it, and sometimes one must sift the visuals out of the the internet..
flaherty's documentar y "Nanook of the north" brought me here
with a vigorous circular motion "rub it"
What's the next level up from Genius? God? Frank Zappa? OK, that'll work.
When does an Inuet say to him/herself, "Hey, what kind of person/life has this people created out of me so that I have to eat blubber my entire life?" When does he/she say, "Hey, No More."
When he gets the idea of how Trade works and has the gumption to make roads and a store can occur instead of having to rely on seasonal ships full of trinkets and bullets in exchange for fur trapper's dinero...
I’m watching this in Chicago when it’s -5 F
Of course you are. The views always go up when there is a storm. That is how I keep track of winter weather. I'm serious. Hope it wasn't as bad as depicted here.
I commented before I watched it'', because it's from my era so of course it's cool'' so anyways ,fucking brilliant'' he was a genius and I love the way you put this together fucking wonderful'', exceptionally done'' bravo;,thank you.
John Carous Why, thank YOU!
