Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention
Song:Call Any Vegetable
Album:Absolutely Free




Frank Zappa was a rock musician whose influences ranged from Doo Wop to Stockhausen but he's probably best known for his humour and social satire. Call Any Vegetable is one of those songs that comes out of nowhere and doesn't seem to have much meaning. Zappa did that a lot in his early days just to mess with people and probably to mess with record company executives. His conflicts with MGM & Warner Bros. are legendary and eventually he got the rights to his own recordings and released them his way. Zappa turned out to be an excellent guitarist and showcased that a lot more in his later days. It's hard to recommend anything because there's so much available and many facets to Zappa's music. Frank Zappa died at age 53 of cancer in 1993.
