[Spider:] Oh no, man...
[Monica:] Oh...
[Spider & Monica:] Kangaroos!

[Spider:] Envelops the bath tub

Zappa, Frank Kangaroos Comments
The track Waka Jawaka is so sublime
always a pleasure when sneaky pete shows up somewhere lol
Thd Most Awesome Piece of Freestyle Jazz one could hear.....thanks Uncle Frank
💥❗ONE OF "THE" BEST ZAPPA LP EVER ❗💥
OMG so how does Your Mouth Is Your Religion end?!?!?!?!?!!!
a fade out?
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiit
👋present
who are the women singing at the back in your mouth? does anybody know?
there's a woman named Janet Ferguson listed in the credits. She is the only woman mentioned
these past few years I've been getting into a lot of "jazz fusion" type stuff and have had this album reccomended a ton of times but kept avoiding it for some reason.. what a dumbass I was lol
This song sounds like it should be in the background of a high speed chase scene.
Zappa is not dead, he just smells funny...
lool, long live you and your crow^^
A true Zen saying, nothing is what I want
And that's just the Stinkfoot! Zoot Alors.
Its just his PYTHON BOOTS
esta muy bien, si
Frank Zappa is the best band in the whoe world ever including all members and Chad Wackerman and Scott Thunes also
Still timeless - FZ was innovating jazz fusion the same time as Miles Davis and I'm sure if your listening to this album and not new to his music (if you ARE just now learning of him welcome and enjoy the vastness of the realm) I'm not telling you anything new - about the prolific exploration FZ imbedded into the history of the sonic arts and you're most probably a fan of sorts. In my opinion it may be common knowledge in say 100 years from now just HOW much exploration and incredible artistry he actually created - I have little doubt he will be at the very least be considered the most prolific 20th century composer who developed techniques in recording and in writing that have been created since the written notation was created.
These ads are really pissing me off, keeps interrupting the music get the fuck Outta here
I am not Rose but the husband making comments on Zappa.
Someone's got some esplaining to do to the wife
Haven't heard this for decades (!) and now it seems to me the legitimate follow up of Grand Wazoo
it was released 4 months before The Grand Wazoo
@hakantunaTV Right. But anyone who listens to both albums can hear they're quite closely related!
This is one of Frank's underrated works. Along with the rest of his shit. PHI ZAPPA CRAPPA!!
Varese's influence is clear
Jazz-rock-classical with a hint of Poofter..
31:23 is where the otherworldyness starts...
13:20 aint too bad itsself
@pineappaloupe That's a brilliant part! The last guitar sound is an unexpected yet perfect ending..."A, A...a, a...a, a..."!
29:36 captivating soloism
Best usage of orchestra chimes at the end of the title song, playing while the staccato horns fade into the sunset. Absolutely superb!!!
The late Frank Zappa, I think he was out of his mind, but he was an incredible musician. Tremendous composer, arranger and guitarist. This is one of my all time favorite Zappa albums.
out of his mind? He was one of the sanest people around.
An underrated album to be sure. One of Franks best of the seventies
Zappa, el padre de la invención..
just love to this guy, he always make my ears high
Aynsley Dunbar on drums if I remember correctly!
Not until later I do believe, the Flo and Eddy madness.
@Mike Btrfld it is definitely Dunbar.
Yes ...Its RIVET BOY
Erroneous on BASS , I think ...Jeff was on this one too.
Love this
Genius.
In 70's one of the best musician
Which o n e
In Russia road forks you
I bought this when it came out, and then drove my girlfriend up the wall by playing it a ridiculous number of times in a row. Still a major favorite.
I remember we used to play Absolutely Free to potential GF's. If they dug it they were keepers if not oh well next. Maybe we weren't that picky but that was the idea :) Peace
I hear quite a few Fela style horn lines - who made who?
hummmmm...
Could someone please recommend me other great Zappa albums? Ive only heard this, 'hot rats' and 'one size fits all'
How's the journey going? I highly recommend STUDIO TAN, full album listen!!
Pretty much pick one, they’re all genius
Why not start from the beginning with Freak Out, and then advance chronologically? But beware: CD:s may be remixed and won't sound like the original LP versions! Especially Cruising With Ruben and the Jets sounds quite different.
Joe's Garage is wonderful. Freak Out is incredible. Cheep Thrills contains a lot of live recordings and I love it. I have a copy of Tinseltown Rebellion which is still good although not my favourite.
@Mircea Eliade de unde esti ? cred ca ai intrebat despre discurile lui zappa doar dintr-o pornire usor glumeata ! sint convins ca ai ascultat aproape tot... gelu batir ( vrei raspunsul in engleza ?) craciun fericit ! 23 dec 2019 rm.valcea
Musical genius.
Mmmmmmm mental floss!
ear floss......
Your daily random piece of trivia, kids: Frank got the title for this album by playing around with a Ouija board.
I've been fascinated with his music since I first heard Lumpy Gravy in 1968 when I was a ten yr old Beatles/Kinks fan and thought it sounded like Carl Stallings WB's cartoon stuff - needless to say by 14 or 15 I began grabbing everything he unleashed on the public and I'd never heard that Ouija board snippet - thank you for that one man! I got one to lay on you - did you know that he was NOT actually from the future OR a different dimention (cept when he was writing obviously) HA! Be well
@Karl Nordquist Thats weird ...I found LUMPY GRAVY in someones trash when I was 8 ('74) ..Music was changed forever ...Like you mentioned WHO/KINKS fan then found this and BEEFHEART -Strictly personal and herbie hancock in the trash ... I was the freakiest 8 year old in town
@gil wood If we lived nearby and were close in age we either woulda hung out or I wouldve at least annoyed you with constant musical offerings and mostly bad opinions and worse hyperactive jokes at that age I'm sure! I had a friend I turned on to Apostrophe when it was a few days old - he promptly tore the Aerosmith patch off his Jean jacket but months later he bought Uncle Meat but the next day he dragged a nail across it and returned it! I saw him in school later that year with a STYX patch on! Possibly the only band that could make the Eagles sound like some kind of ROCK! (ok now Ive spent too much time as an example of me at that age! )
00:00 Big swifty
17:20 Your mouth
20:35 It just might be a one-shot deal
24:52 Waka jawaka
That should be enough to satisfy my zappatite!
Qual o nome desse estilo de jazz?
"jaiz-pra-gilo-Ët-cigarra"....não é mesmo cára!?? ;)
Eww, there's ads in my Zappa!
This is a great Zappary style line...
ublock origin, homie.
Frank is playing the beautiful slide guitar starting at 22: 23?
Tony Duran of the Rueben and the Jets "For Real" possibly
not Frank...
The Electric Guitar Genius! Y Siempre Viva Zappa! :-)
Love this album
Zappa recupera minha mente!
IT JUST MIGHT BE A ONE SHOT DEAL......HOW DELIGHTFUL
My favorite album of all................GENIUS.
this really feels like the 'earth heals herself' on population override from buckethead. rip bernie worrell. Love this stuff.
i hope mr buckethead is doing well. he has been cooped up for too long. rumors about him being physically unable to shred.
the ocean is the ultimate solution
Cursed adverts
frank zappa has infuences of Igor stravinsky, zappa and more igor stravinsky,,,,,
this is the first time that I've listened to this Masterpiece !!!!
what was I thinking.....
HI, ITS BEEN 9 MONTHS. LISTEN TO THIS AGAIN.
UR WELCOME
Welcome aboard !!!
don't forget to eat your toothpaste
Encontré este vinilo en la feria ( a causa de la crisis económica que esta pasando Argentina) de mi barrio por $40 ! Gracias Frank por tu legado.
I just keep repeating from 22:21 to 23:53. Always have done since the early 70s. I simply cannot ever ever get sick of it. And when i get the chance I play it really loud and undistorted on a good powerful system. Ugh... unbelievable.
Strange, it's 24.51 for me till the end..
Although not one of my own favorite passages, it still enhances the overall masterpiece. Initially (all those years ago) I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek reference of some kind. One evolves, hopefully, in appreciation.
for years i thought 21:48 was its own song and was like 'goddamnit what is that fucking hook from'
im pretty sure what is played after 22:21 is what the grateful dead tried and failed to accomplish for decades. and all of their goddamn fans will tell you that this is how all of their music feels. OKAY. no. they need to take a goddamn shower and learn to count in something other than multiple of 4 while dancing.
loved it since the first time I heard it years ago
Yes you should be diggin' it while its happenin' (love it)
Because it just might be a one shot deal....
Good One
Love Zappa!
man so good
The instrumentals I and IV are great fusionjazz, the Flo (Leech) and Eddie Stuff (II/III) is not my kind of meat.
I hear ya, but I love it all. After all, Billy Was a Mountain and wss replaced by the mud shark. I dig the entire evolution of Frank. Flo and Eddie stuff comes in handy when I want to clear out a party quick!
Flo and Eddie aren't on those songs. Sal Marquez and others at those sessions are the vocalists.
@John M Ethel was a tree
this is like a constant polynomial
That part about 2-3 minutes in sounds like Chick Corea and early RTF!1
Had the same impression, does anybody know the line-up of this album?
@Armin HennigWow i think the same... even the album it's from 72, the same as the return to forever first album
To me it sounds more avant-garde, though I think I hear some of the same musical "Cliches"
That's George Duke playing the keyboards (synth and "ring modulated electric piano", which is probably a Fender Rhodes, like Chick Corea frequently played during that time period). George Duke was a major contributor to Zappa's bands in the 70s.
@callmejeffbob Yup, 100% right. George Duke, what a hero!
"Sneaky Pete K" on pedal steel and a false aurelia (sp) plant (that looks alot like another 7 leafed plant) currently in resurgence, placed prominently, behind Frank on the back cover. The sheer scope and imagery of the music on this LP, put it as one of franks top 10 studio efforts imfo.
Personal favourite. God I love this record. written into my dna as a zygote. Discovered musically induced transcendence thru Frank.
si, señor...
Mine was my first purchase BURNT WEENY SANDWICH but it created the same reaction as yours!
Total sublime musicianship here...
This and Grand Wazoo made whilst FZ was wheelchair bound love them both!!!
top tier big band zappa.
i love all of the 'jazz fusion' from this era. mahavishnu, return to forever (romantic warrior was fucking peak jazz fusion IMO), but this album and grand wazoo might as well consume most of the best of the 'genre' in the early to mid 70s.
big swifty is like... john McLaughlin with a rhythm section with more swing. and some creepy bitches brew horns. and some herbie hancock sextant funky spacey shit.
fuck it, and some tribute to jack johnson flavor.
yeah this album, in its first track, is
wait what was i writing about. i just got the the return. yessssssssssssssssssss
I was coming off of The Mothers and Hot Rats. The first time I heard this album I could only say, WHAT?!?!
Il più davisiano fra i capolavori di Frank.
Un sogno,dopo trapassato,una piccola nuvola in fondo e vederli suonare assieme.
zappa apres son accident, en chaise roulante ,avec sal marquez et surtout : aynsley dumbar a la super batterie.lf
This is one of Zappa's most underrated albums
@Sublime Music Channel when did it become soulless ? apostrophe, Roxy ,Sheik Yerbouti ,shut up and play yer guitar ,etc ? what does soul mean in your vocabulary ?
@welekid The instant Frank turned to the technically astonishing, yet entirely SOULLESS music school victim-drummers he may as well have been programming it himself on computers. As for "what is the soul"? I hope you weren't seriously entertaining the idea that it's a subject that can be squeezed into a youTube reply comment when 2,500 years of Western thought have yet to come to a final conclusion. Nevertheless, after 1973 Frank's dead, he just didn't know it.
@Sublime Music Channel He turned to technically astonishing drummers as early as Hot rats (he says it in his autobiography with Occhiogrosso ).And as for "what is the soul" if you say that it hasn't come to a conclusion ,that means your assertion is based on something you don't conceive clearly yourself , so it's an opinion not a fact ,it's allright opinions are not a problem for me. Now I happen to be an African ,not a westerner (absolutely not better) ,in approximately 12000 years of African thought , we define the soul as the part of an individual which was given by God as a direct part of him/herself and will survive eternally after the flesh is gone.(In Africa an individual is made of more than merely the body and the soul ).So if you follow that meaning,we're talking about those musics he made some 26 years after his body died. And new pieces have been released every year since. I humbly think there must be some soul in it . Anyway in my opinion ,calling Overnight sensation,Apostrophe,Roxy and elsewhere or One size fits it all "soulless " is just crazy.and I've never been in any music school ,so how come I like those musics if they were made for music schools ? (except that your taste is better than mine ).
All of Zappa's albums are underrated for what they are...
And The Grand Wazoo
Zappa Lives!
2 Dislikes????!!!!! Excuse Me?????
Some people... some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say
There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of god's grey
Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!
Now 30 dislikes.
Presumably these are all from Nazi skinheads and punks, who would prefer to listen to rubbish like Clash or Sham or Skrewdriver than to anything as elevated as this.
Oi Oi!
Frank didn't care about them and neither should we.
@Andrew Harper
Very sensible indeed, Andrew.
Unfortunately, 42 years ago or whenever it was, it was rather difficult not to care about them, when every page in the music press was devoted to the antics of these revolting people, with their questionable political views and their inability to play their instruments. One would hope that the verdict of history will be against them.
@Chris Miller 42 years ago was the year before I was born. I think I can judge based on the music and behaviour.
Firstly Punk was mostly a reaction to the musicians having focused on being musicians first and trying to craft masterpieces. A lot of the bands weren't making pop songs. They were writing epics or trying to mix wierd time signatures you couldn't dance to with styles the man in the street had never heard of. In the case of prog they were doing all of the above. Some of whom like Genesis had been to public schools which rubbed some people the wrong way.
Secondly Punk was primarily created by the working class and they were affected by people being racist like Enoch Powell and shop owners who would hang signs up saying No dogs, no Irish, no blacks. So as revolting as their behaviour was it doesn't alter the fact that in some cases they were revolting against a society that was treating them badly.
Personally I enjoy a wide range of music and listen to primarily blues and hard rock which I supplement with Miles Davis, Johnny Cash and Frank Zappa. I also enjoy Abba, Blondie, Joan Jett, Argentinian Tango and Al diMeola. Amongst others.
Ultimately when all is said and done some good if unsophisticated pop music was created by the punk bands whether you enjoy it or not is your choice. Like anything. It had social relevance to its time and influenced a successive generation of bands and as such can't simply be ignored. Were they nice people? Some maybe, all? Like any group of people of course not. Musically sophisticated definitely not but for what they achieved with little money, little talent and a DIY attitude they do deserve respect.
[email protected] would love to hear from any Frank fans 484 667 0050 every fan his prisoner every guitar his slave
Waka Jawaka capolavoro assoluto dal punto di vista compositivo (non certo l'unico di Zappa)! Grande l'ingresso dei fiati dopo l'assolo di batteria intorno a 32. 50
Great music
Thank you
