 Topic: Zappa's most hilarious release
Posted: June 24 2006 at 00:16 |

What do you think is Zappa's most hilarious release?
I'd say "Uncle Meat" (with the second disc) or "Roxy & Elsewhere", but I got to hear you and think about it more!
One thing is certain to me, I woudn't say "Joe's Garage", talking about
blowjobs and sex doesn't make you funny... especially when you're 40
years old (talking about Zappa here not myself)... Kids use to laugh
about this!

Probably one of his releases with Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman... like Just Another Band from LA or Live at Fillmore East.

I laughed to tears when I heard what is the ugliest part of your body (some say your nose, some say your toes I think it's your mind). It really sounded like John Lennon but it was a spoof actually.

The cover photo is one of the funniest I remember, mostly Zappa dressed like a little girl.

I think the cover photo of We're only in it for the money is funny.

Actually after hearing most of his stuff, I believe 'Playground psychotics' to be the funniest.......the tapes of them on the road are hysterical!

Not an excellent but some songs are just hilarious (He's so gay and the song in which the lady f**ks with a briefcase above all)

Over-Nite Sensation, who can forget Dynamo Hum? I Am The Slime is also a brilliant piece of songwriting and musicianship

I think that the most hilarious CD release must be Apostrophe/Overnite-Sensation. ALL the songs are hilarious!

That one first. Uncle Meat second and Absolutely free third imo. Great and funny music.

The "Roger Daltrey gay bar" and "CSN backstage" schtick on the Fillmore record is a riot....Flo and Eddie to boot....best music on any comedy recording I've ever heard...or is it best comedy on a music record?

Funniest album as a whole for me is probably Live at the Fillmore, with Flo & Eddie...Bwana Dik and the Groupie routine, which say so much about the rock world, musicians and their motivations, as well as the psychology of groupies, all stuff that nobody else really puts in question. That version of the Mothers was really like a Vaudeville act.

I grew up on Zappa, but I never really found him all that funny. Good, yes, but not laugh fodder.
