Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Sun Zoom Spark Lyrics






Nothing makes it move
From the bottom to the top
Does it start at the bottom?
Or does it start at the top

Magnet draw day from dark
Sun zoom spark
Sun zoom spark

Now which hand's got it?
Bottom, or the top?
Neither hand's got it
It's just got it
Hope it don't stop

Magnet draw day from dark
Sun zoom spark
Sun zoom spark

Think you can uh hold it
Once it start
I don't care who ya are or what
Size ya are
I'm gonna magnetize ya

Magnet draw day from dark
Sun zoom spark
Sun zoom spark

Oh, don't let it get away
I'm gonna zip up my guitar
'N then when I've gone too far
I'm gonna zip down my guitar

Magnet draw day from dark
Sun zoom spark
Sun zoom spark

    So this incredibly difficult drum part is the real answer for those who want “more cowbell” I believe he literally stick his drum stick inside the bell and rattles it in time, brilliant,,,,,

    It to me just sounds like a simple mixture of doubles and paradiddles , absolute pin point accuracy tho

    A.... o....

    In fact I’m sure no one would make more work for them self by sticking the stick in the middle of the cowbell and rattling. I could be wrong but I’m a drummer and I’m fairly sure that it’s a simple r l r r l (rest) r r l l r r l l . All right hits being the cowbell and the left hits being the snare and Tom combo , haha sorry I’m rambling

    I was sure this would be Captain Beefheart's break into commercial success. I gave each of my four brothers (older than me) a copy for Christmas in 1972, They all got rid of them.
    I first heard the record when it was new and I was a senior in high school. I watched them perform most of this record at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.
    When I met Captain Beefheart in 1977 in Portland Oregon, we discussed the event. He claimed to remember where I sat but was wrong. He did remember that Zoot Horn Rollo cut his finger.
    My personal theory is that the song is about a smile.
    Low Yo-Yo Stuff (on the same album) is clearly about walking.

    The drummer is Art Tripp who left Zappa for Beefheart and substituted for John French when Beefheart and Zappa were on the outs. It was Zappa who named Beefheart (Don van Vliet).

    This record should have catapulted Beefheart into commercial success. He might have been undone by his conflicted contract obligations.

    I recommend the biography by Mike Barnes (2000).

    Captain Beefheart has been in my life since 1969.

    The reference to SUN TZU is strenuously fucking obvious; I shudder to think how many decades you wasted, forming your delusional, whacky personal theories, entirely devoid of evidence...

    I trust you don't go on fan-diatribes like that in public either, Sir. Not for your benefit—go ahead and commit social suicide; no one will stop you—rather for the unfortunate targets of your homing-limpit-loony proclamations of ignorance.

    Love, Your siblings & betters

    PS: You killed Dad, and you're killing Mum.
    PPS: Music's gay, and so are you.

    S.... S....

    I still have that album. Wasn't my favorite type of music at the time, but I certainly enjoyed (and still do) Beefheart's refreshing deviation from the norm. Never paid all that much attention to the lyrics, especially to try to derive a hidden meaning. Merely enjoyed the sounds. Not sure what Troll Gardener's problem is. Sounds like someone who should be sent away. There's always a troublemaker in the crowd with "Too Much Time on his Hands." Hey, Troll, maybe you like Styx?

    I dunno how anyone CAN'T like the slyly droll incantation that Van Vliet says to "zip up my guitar" and Rollo's guitar slides UP...then Beefheart says he's gonna "zip down my guitar"...and Rollo slides up again ANYWAY. That line, and music, always makes me laugh. I know I can't be the only one to have noticed that.

    G.... P....

    He's talking about his fly zip not his guitar!

    Thanks for the newsflash, Phil Specter. Now if you don't mind, I'm trying to appreciate artistic genius*, not amateur, dilettantish whimsical imagined music studio blatherings.

    * By _'appreciating artistic genius'_ I mean _'feverishly consuming online porn.'_ DON'T JUDGE ME, BRO (I was born with a single phallus).
