I remember his song "Disco Boy". It came out in the era when the 60's rock fans were balding and growing extended bellies.... and being overlooked by the next generation of young ladies.
They thought Zappa was god (which he was... but not just because of that one song); and rallied around that song as some sorta mid-life-crisis anthem. Quote:

Disco Boy was on Frank's Zoot Allures album released in '76. I really like "Black Napkins" and "The Torture never Stops" from that same album.

one of the companies I managed a department for... was doing some radio advertising. One of the FM rock stations we advertised on would sent over their salesman on occasion (this was back in the early 80's). One day the dude from the station came in; he was about 30'ish, around 5'7, 200+ lbs, long hair (but bald on top)... wearing a T-Shirt that said "Disco Sucks".
I briefly mentioned the shirt and he gave a big grin; then I said "I imagine Disco sucks... for you". His grin instantly turned into a mean look. He quickly came to his business senses & went back to the grin; realized that we were paying him & his station. I had no problem with the disco era. I was a fan of Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath... and then added (not replaced them) with disco. I was still able to attract the ladies in both relms; it was good times for sure |

I was never a Zappa fan, but I did think this song was funny.

Excellent article Mike.
Other than the Smoke On The Water factoid, I never knew none of that. Here is a little fact for y'all... Lady Gaga bought Frank's house in the valley last year. Her dad is named Joe, so it remains Joe's Garage. Joe is a great guy. A real down to earth Joe. Here is one of my fave's. Listen for the Frank Zappa Reference at 1:09... |

Frank Zappa was a very intelligent, sober and politically astute man. This side of him came out in his later years.

Jewish Princess is indeed a classic. Titanic tits, who would not want those?
