Jean luc ponty 'plays Zappa's king kong' is my favourite (so far heard

I came in here to listen to this song and I couldn’t care about Zappa. Now I hate him and my feelings are justified.

Ugh, sounds like he facilitated yoko ono. What a mess.

I never really listened to Zappa, just never introduced to him, but I would describe this song as scribbling.

As a recording artist, singer Jo Stafford was highly regarded for her incomparable pitch. Only a singer who was supremely talented would know exactly which notes to slur off-key to turn a song into the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard. While Stafford never won a Grammy Award for her "straight" work, she and her husband Paul Weston won the Grammy in 1960 for best comedy album.

17:12 Auf dem Gletscher

I would play this at parties to see how long before my friends would look at me oddly and say “what’s wrong with the music?”

For some stupid reason, I never checked out this album until tonight. Holy hell! Better late than never I suppose. This is grade-A quality Zappa for sure.

je pars regarder "200 motels" des même après l'écoute ici !

Ah yes, I love penis music

Who'da thunk a bassoon could be so cool??

I enjoy thinking about King Kong. 77 version was the cats pajamas😊

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Feels like brain massage with hyper cool vibes

Maximus fantasticus 👍

The only recording where you can actually *_hear_* the wind machine.

I'm only 69 years old, & still listen to this shit.

Fantastic! Wonderful!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Ian ?

Original lp in '69 - 20 bucks ,now 50 in Atlanta , ain't bad ?

This was the song that John Lennon and Yoko Ono stole from Zappa on the live album “Some Time In New York”. Yeah, imagine no possession my ass…

Found this researching Jo Stafford.

I think the 2 versions sound drastically different. Kinda prefer the Lennon one....Idk...Who exactly was playing on the Live Lennone one, and on this one? Idk. Controversial opinion maybe. This one is really fucking good though.

If I was gonna rip off a song it wouldn't be this 😆

Nothing like a nice bit of easy listening from Frank....love it

Too bad Darlene and Doris Day never recorded this as a duet.

Another little ditty, Underwood whips out on stage in Copenhagen ?

The fastest take no prisoners versions out there....lots of tinkles and up front highlighted instrumentation that gets buried in other renditions...very much worth a listen. One of the very best storm segments you will ever hear.

This not a song..this is crap.. sorry....

I' m nuts, good song & I like Trump ?

Insanity or opertic, both. ?

Jazz or Americana ,both.

LP - $ 30 in Atl ?

Came here out of recommendation. Brilliant at some places but its typical Solti performance where everything its on steroids and there's little care or sensivity in quiet passages. Cant imagine the wind players from 16:30 where its so freaking fast. The best part about this recording is the wind machine sounds in the storm, otherwise I'm going back to Karajan BPO

John Lennon wrote this actually, it was called "Jamrag"

This is music? 🤮

This song has a special place in my memory the merging of talents such as Zappa and Shankar leave me.....well speechless at times

I've just noticed the enthusiastic banging of the drum at the end, as though the percussionist is going "Thank god that's over!"

Sounds like Charles Mingus. And I mean that like a compliment.

Didnt Frank steal this song from John and Yoko? 😎

Between Yoko Onos screams and this crap people call music, I am not sure what's worse...

You talk too much....but I love you people, who listen to this.........🎉

I like it

I was expecting to hate this piece because Zappa was a complete asshole. But I like it…a LOT

Yoko: ahhhh ahhhh ahĥh yayayayaa yewbbBababa hshshsha uoooh oohhh ooh

Must be yoko ono playing the ear screeching instrument in the background

Flip of the Chipmunk Song.

Somebody call the cops!!

too good for words but if I had to choose one from the comment below it would be "I want this to play at my funeral!".

thaTS why I have this album up front in my studio
