Drummer reacts to "Ti**ies and Beer" (Live in NYC) by Frank Zappa

[@L33Reacts]

Take it away, commenters! What should we do next in our Zappa quest? I absolutely loved this. Even though it got demonetized, it was worth it. Absolutely hilarious...

[@robertsaul234]

Dinah-Moe Humm might get demonetized as well but you owe yourself a listen. The late great Tina Turner sings the part of Dinah.

[@SoundLevel11481]

COCAIN DECISIONS, a forgotten radio hit. It charted for a while in the 80's and a great sing-along tune. It is a bit short so maybe play the following tune called SEX, which is second on the album after this one.

[@marcribe6483]

I Promise Not To Come in Your Mouth from the same Zappa In New York album. In the 90s, the composition got called Lather. It's an instrumental.

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

@@marcribe6483 When Frank reassembled Zappa In New York and the other three albums that WB didn't pay him for, he brought the newly packaged set to Mercury/Phonogram as Läther and he retitled I Promise Not To... as Läther.

[@robertsaul234]

😂Terry and pickle holder Dale formed the new wave band Missing Persons in the 80s and had a couple of hits. Terry also played drums on Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop album.

[@Frustino]

In my 60's now, grew up on FZ, and still cheers me up after all these years.

[@HakanTunaMuzik]

FZ knew what he was doing, as a 14 year old stuff like this is what drew me into the Zappa world, and because of this open door I discovered the most amazing music on the planet. Thanks Frank, Miss you

[@rickandgen]

You need to make your way through Joe’s Garage, in order too, great music and hilarious lyrics. Brilliant concept album.

[@josephadams7379]

"Ms. Pinky" from Zoot Allures is a song about a man and his blow up doll. You should check that one out as well.

Listened to this album endlessly on 8 -track during cross country trip in '77. Perfect.

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

Except that it wasn't released until March of '78, soooo...

[@erolbulut2584]

@Royalle_with_Cheese You are incorrect. I definitely listened to this in August 1977

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

​@@erolbulut2584 Look up the release date

[@cherryaxiom9711]

Id like to hear you listen to anything from You are What you Is by Frank Zappa

[@SoundLevel11481]

GREAT TUNE, lots of great tunes on this one. Released as a double album, There is a secret 3rd album of this too. The stage band from Saturday Night Live became Franks Band to record this show. This includes Don Pardo.

[@thomasvieth578]

I take it that you didn't get the "Faust" allusion. Frank was well versed in the classics

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

One of my favorite ad-libbed lines by Terry: "All I have to say is, God help me! Even though I have this, this fng mask on..."

[@johnnyparis10]

FZ said something like, “Get ‘em in the door with Ti**ies and Beer, then hit ‘em with Black Napkins.” ‘nuff said. Bozzio as the Devil, can’t keep it together. Lol Nomads MC. Frank was followed by many biker clubs, like the Nomads and Hell’s Angels et al….

[@barrysimmons1210]

How about a live version of "The Illinois Enema Bandit"? That was fun in concert.

[@georgegonzalez1996]

Hell Yeah!!!!! Let go of your pickle devil!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

His son has the guitar that Jimi Hendrix played and set on fire at Monterey Pop Music Festival. He kept it in attic...son got it, rebuilt it, plays it today!!! "Priceless" 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

I saw F, Zappa twice in the 70's, once at the Cole field house at the University of Maryland and then at the Capitol Center in Laurel ,Maryland. he was amazing. MY Friend named, Frank ,bass player, turned me on to Zappa! Between Hendrix & Zappa My life was never the same. God Almighty! Never saw Jimi Live but I saw a heck of a lotta concerts,as a teenageer in the 70's including Zappa! Mother Finest was an awesome band to see,back then too,amoung many others.....

[@randygray8921]

Is the purple lagoon on this one? It's been so many years...

[@jamessomers8808]

Oh right!!! I’ve been waiting for this one. The first Zappa song I ever heard at nine years old. I also promptly memorized all the words. And I still remember them from that particular show because they change. Lol.❤❤❤

[@josephadams7379]

Frank put out approx 80 studio albums. I'm lucky to have over 40 so far, all in vinyl.

[@Royalle_with_Cheese]

Not quite. Frank put out 62 albums in his lifetime, many more have come out posthumously, but of his 62, many more are live than "studio" albums. Even what you could call his "studio" albums have songs that were live and then tweaked in the studio.

[@pongosnodgrass7014]

"So you just barf it back up..now devil, do you hear!?" 😮😂

[@corawheeler9355]

Crazy Frank comes throuogh again. Hell ya!

[@erolbulut2584]

Mr. Terry Bozzio at his finest.

[@jeffreyrobertson8516]

I am 58 years old- my 16 year old neighbor played this version for me on his 8 track tape player along with Kansas carry on wayward son and Kiss Alive 1 and Aerosmith -toys in the attic - i was 13 at the time - been a Zappa fan since

[@DannyD714]

used to hear this on the dr. demento show all the time (heavily edited of course). drummer terry bozzio plays the devil and during the song he says, "hey dale would you like to come up here and hold my pickle to satisfy this weird man out here on the stage". dale bozzio is his wife who was the singer for the band missing persons ("walking in L.A"., "words", "destination unknown").

[@realbser1956]

This was too funny. Thanks Peter K. 😊

[@anconiasplace]

Another great version is on the Baby Snakes LP from 1983.

[@kennethjacobs2963]

Hell yeah

[@circulation69]

I own many Zappa albums, but this is the one that gets played the most. There is video footage of this performance, which is worth checking out. Also there are other versions of this track that include an extended rant about being signed to Warner Bros, also worth checking out. Hell yeah!

[@stevepas1]

Now your cooking❤

[@shiannesmith6877]

Frank Friday!

[@bobschenkel7921]

Lou "Blue Lou" Marini and Tom "Bones" Malone were both on screen and on stage members of The Blues Brothers Band. Frank always hired top quality musicians.

[@UnsoberIdiot]

We love Zappa for all sorts of reason. This sort of honest silliness is top 3.

[@chrisbatchelor864]

Great selection Lee! First heard this on CFNY FM Toronto in 78....the only station bold enough!

[@Hanssologuitars]

Randy and Michael Brecker fronted the “Brecker Brothers”, one of the most successful fusion groups. That’s worth a watch also.

[@georgegonzalez1996]

I don’t know if you have done Bamboozled By Love yet, but that’s a great one. There are two versions, a fast one and a slow one. I can’t decide which one I like better, but most likely you will like them both, and either one will be demonetized 😂

[@phillipjensen5201]

I recently saw Dweezil play see this song! I 20 year kid was "The Devil". This dude was awesome. Played the guitar and the set at the same time.

[@graywade9225]

Dude EXCELLENT reaction. Not many reactors dare to take on T&B, but keep that record in the exact spot for your next reaction off this album. The "somewhat rickety" Segway to Cruising for Burgers is about to BLOW YOUR MIND!

[@bobschenkel7921]

Back in college, the late 1970's, every night at 10 p.m. on our floor in our dorm, "Titties and Beer" was played LOUD, and we ALL sang along. Actually there was one dude who didn't participate, oh well. Sometimes we even got as far as "The Illinois Enema Bandit". LOL.

[@robotronrichard]

Hawaiian Shirts for the algorithm... Know what I mean L33?

[@rickandgen]

Frank is an “equal opportunity offender”😉

[@carolynschmidt5467]

Musical humor... Arlo Guthrie, Woody's kid,,Alice's Restaurant.

[@dunringill1747]

Love this song. FZ puts so much comedy into his music - even the instrumentals. TRIVIA: Almost a Jethro Tull connection. After Barriemore Barlow left Tull, Ian Anderson asked Terry Bozzio to join. Bozzio turned him down because he wanted to start Missing Persons with his wife Dale.

[@mrgreengenes04]

Its basically Igor Stravinsky's "L'histoire du Soldat" ballet if it took place in the 70s with a biker instead of a Soldier.

among the 23 things Frank was, was, one of the best comedians ever !

[@J-DUB-F1]

Wow!.... I've still got my original vinyl copy from the 70s, and that whole middle section is much longer than what I have. This must be a re-release. I've never hear them. As a little kid i always got a kick out of cranking this one... and i got a lot of disaproving looks from mom🤨

[@penrod6540]

I was at the taping of this show Terry steals the show in this song IMHO Damn no video to it youve got to see terry in his devil mask maybe Ill request that version soon if thats ok

Wasn't there something about a dental floss ranch in Montana?

Yes, the song is called, "Montana", it's on the "Overnight Sensation" album. With Tina Turner and the Ikettes on brilliant backing vocals ..

[@Kennethweaver680]

Did you notice that the drums stopped it’s because Terry Bozio played the devil. You had to be there great show

[@lisarainbow9703]

Omg, I haven't heard this in 20 years--- I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I used to be able to recite the entire song..😂 I love Zappa's unapologetic irreverence...
