    Frank was brilliant on and off the stage. You either love him or hate him and I love him. Want a treat? Watch him on a talk show from back in the day. He smashes the talking heads on the shows with him. He was a very intelligent man.

    You see two of the Ikettes in this video, Debbie and Lynn, having a blast singing this delightfully wacky Zappa music. This was done after the sessions that produced the two previous albums; Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe('). Those albums were recorded in Ike Turner's Bolic Sound studio and Tina Turner, along with the Ikettes, were available for Frank to use. They sang background vocals on a number of songs. Tina was particularly happy with what they were doing with Frank, as the music was challenging, and they were doing something really interesting. Tina invited Ike into the studio to listen to some of the music and he said, "What is this shit?!" and demanded that they NOT be credited on the albums.
    Ike also told Frank to pay them each $25 per song, nothing more. Frank felt they deserved more than that because his music is more difficult than the average and they needed more rehearsal and dedication to sing it right. In the end, he paid them $25 per hour each and, although he didn't credit them on Over-Nite Sensation, he did give them first name credit on Apostrophe(').
    On the album that this song appears, ROXY & Elsewhere, Debbi and Lynn are again credited by first name only. Ike Turner was such a dick. Tina did well to dump his ass and become a superstar without him.

    Frank is 100% a creative and musical genius, one of if not THE greatest composer of the 20th century (atleast). I hope you dive in further in search of more poodle references LOL.
    Here's a starter......Dirty Love ua-cam.com/video/MjcXOR9UGaw/v-deo.html George Duke plays a mean synth riff, Tina Turner and the Ikettes sing backup, and the legendary poodle makes an appearance.

    200 Motels is a very odd movie like nothing else. First digital ever made I think. Symphony Orchestra, animations, Flo & Eddie from the Turtles, and Ringo Starr playing Frank Zappa! The music from the film was released on a double vinyl album. For nerds only! It takes many listen sessions to really like it (most people don't). There is a compilation video of the final song "Strictly genteel" try that!

      Not the first digital movie. It was the first movie shot on videotape, which allowed for easy editing and special effects, then it was transferred to 35MM film.
      In 1971, that was a big deal.

    It's a humorous song, but there's nothing funny about the effort put into it to make it work. In this compilation video, you see clips of him in the studio recording the song. You should watch that video:" Cheapness recording session with the Ikettes." You'll see how complex and demanding the song is, all the retakes and intricate parts. Zappa is one of the greatest and most important of our modern composers.

      @@JustMe-vk4fn - George was right on some things and wrong on a lot more. Frank admitted many times that he was wrong a lot but was willing to state his opinion on any given subject/question on any given day. He also would add "ask me again tomorrow or some other time and you might get a different answer." Frank didn't predict authoritarianism since it had been around his entire life in many countries. He did say America was moving towards a fascist theocracy. Neither one of these people were prophets. You obviously agree with them and admire their thoughts and insights. Don't make it more than it was when it was said. Many people have had the same thoughts and made the same or even better statements than both of them. Are we all prophets?
      Zappa wasn't "exceptionally politically involved." He generally hated politicians. He added "don't forget to register to vote" and did voter registration during the US portion of his 1988 tour. He also testified before congress against the PMRC attempted record rating and censorship because he didn't see anybody else doing it and he felt it was important. Frank stated many times he didn't want to have to do it but felt somebody in the music industry needed to speak out. Zappa stayed far away from politics most of his life. He just stated his opinions about it and many other things in his music and in interviews.
