Frank Zappa

Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American composer, singer-songwriter, guitarist, recording engineer, record producer and film director. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa wrote rock, jazz, orchestral and musique concrète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band The Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. While in his teens, he acquired a taste for 20th-century classical composers such as Edgard Varèse, Igor Stravinsky, and Anton Webern along with 1950s rhythm and blues music.

Hi, Frank!

Hi!

Alright well, Ian's busy he's uh, he's
With his parents in uhm, uh

Yugoslavia

Florida but he'll be back in town soon
Ladies and gentlemen yeah

Now, we're gonna open up with
Some Hey! Brian Krokus, ladies
And gentlemen, right back there!
He is our mixer
And of course there's another mixer out
In the truck and you can't see
Him but he's awfully cute, his
Name is Kerry McNabb and he can
Hear us talking about him, but

Well, you're missing the best part of what's
Going out on out in the truck

We're gonna open our program with a song
That deals with the subject of
The possibility of extra-terrestrial
Beings visiting this planet a long time ago

Now, some of you might have
Read a book called
Chariots Of The Gods by Erich Von Däniken
And there's a little thing in there
It's a picture of this
Area in the Andes called the plains of Nazca
Ladies and gentlemen and
There's these carvings on the top of the
Rock that you don't know what
They're supposed to be
For it doesn't look like it
Would have been a road, because it doesn't
Go anywhere, and there's a bunch of
'em, and some people think
Well maybe it was a
Landing field but the carvings are very, very
Old and they're very, very big, you
Know, indicating that the people
Who made them
Were highly, uh, well, they were
Heh heh they really had their together for
The things that carved in the rock
And it's possible that if
They were landing fields
That the things that landed on them
Were NOT OF THIS EARTH

And so we have a song
Which features the lovely voice of Mr george
Duke, and the name of this song
Is "Inca Roads" Take it away, george
