Zappa, Frank - Absolutely Free Lyrics

Hard to believe frank never did acid, but then again he pretty much was acid.

I heard this album for the first time in 1991, I was 18, it’s one of my favorite albums of all the time , it will always be, as a concept album, it represents everything the Beatles sg peppers, doesn’t represent, rip frank Zappa!!!!

My fav Zappa.

I mean,..every second of this song ,..is PRECIOUS !!! BOING !!! DIS-CORPORATE !!

Just a question that have bugging me for a while. Who sings most of the lead on this album, that almost sounds like a chipmunk in places? :P Jimmy Carl Black sings on Bow Tie Daddy and Frank on quite a few, thats easy to hear. Like on this song, who sings here?

Frank sings practically all,..he speeds it up ,..to sound weird,..it's classic ,..

Among his very best imo

bullshit. the best things in life aren't free. this is the something for nothing generation. you are all cursed by God. I'm not. I share with others, especially those who have taught me in the word, or have imparted some spiritual blessing to me. I owe others debts that I cannot pay because ingrates have strangled me financially. Salvation is a free gift. But if you want something more than that, it must be earned.

You don't get it, Zappa was making fun of hippies and rock bands of the time. Listen to the whole album a few times, it's very funny.

Zappa Pepper predicted the future
Discorpoate makes you
Wish you were absolutely free !!!

I found out only after getting home with the album "Absolutely Free" that this song wasn't on it, yeah well, both albums were well worth getting.

Conceptual continuity!

Wish i was back in the alleeeeeeeeey....with all of my friends still running free....hair growing out every hole in meeeeee.

nice picture lone wolf

Unmind your mind :)

@Licky Goon ohhhh unmind sounded better :D

I fyou come to my funeral?? slip into the bathroom and eat some chee to's ? it will make you feel so much better?

When you openly admit you're a cia agent in your music but no one picks up on it

Fuck is you talkin bout

Just bought the record first pressing . The last owner took care of it . The album seems to come to life with a decent cartridge. Zappa and the mothers mixed humor with highly skilled musicianship and cohesion.

and with lot of LSD

i LOVE THIS SHIT!

But we loved him :) signed: A. Hippie

"I don't do publicity balling for you anymore." That's genuinely funny.

My original album has that phrase. My friend's newer version has the word "balling" deleted.

Are you all stupid

BOING !!!!!!!

ESCAPE FROM THE WEIGHT OF YOUR CORPORATE LOGO !!!

DIS-CORPORATE AND COME WITH ME SWIFTING DRIFTING CLOUDLESS STARLESS VELVET VALLEYS

One of these days I'll learn how to play that piano opening.

Well? Did you?

Beautiful record (Hi Jimi)

WAH WAH

Too much time lapse between tracks. It takes away from the original release.

I agree, however you have to look at it from the perspective of someone who wants to listen to a particular track from the album by itself.

then buy the fucking album, Ken Balough

flower power sucks

There were real flower children then there were the trust fund "phony hippies" who grew up to be lawyers, corporate shills and government mind controllers working for the FBI, CIA and other mind control apparatchiki Pres. Trump is trying to free us from.

Trump's essentially a trust fund baby but point taken about the phony hippies

Can you believe this hillbilly shit cowboy?

LMAO I don't think they get it.. maybe they didn't listen to the song.

@Mr. Yellowstrat LOVE WHO YOU LOVE@
