I have the album and have listened to it but don't really know it well enough to vote. I was tempted to say Willie the pimp though because I don't care much for Beefheart's vocals. "Peaches en regalia" and "Son of mr. green genes" are my two favorites though. The last few I'm not as familiar with.

Beefheart sounds like he’s had a diet of sand-paper and crushed glass, but his voice is a lot of fun really. Willie was the song that got me into Zappa around 1990. Took me a long time to amass my 36 LP Zappa collection though.

context man.. it works perfectly within the context of the song.. could Greg Lake carried that off. even if a better by the numbers singer. oh hell no. It wouldn't have worked...ontext man.. it was greasy slutty and dirty.. and the Captain was perfect for it.... context.....something a lot of people seem to overlook...
