This song is the last song of the Joe’s Garage album. The Central Scrutinizer has been narrating the story all along which is a sad one in many ways. At this point you’ve just finished listening to Watermelon in Easter Hay. And then this song sort of breaks the fourth wall of the story and ends the album with a smile.

[@hackbod]

I also feel like this song serves as a kind of end credits or curtain call for the album... especially how it drops the names of the musicians and such. So it isn't really part of the story at all, but crediting and celebrating the rest of the album.

[@KahurangiSteez]

I read it as a metaphor for Joe's life after he gives up his dreams and conforms to the Muffin Utility Research Kitchen. He's dropped all the "evil influences" from music he had at the start the of the album and now he's using his creative genius for a corporate capitalist purpose, creating the best muffins in the world. The green rosetta is him sprinkling the icing on top of the muffins. Joe has now fully become the Muffin Man. He's brainwashed and now part of the system

[@hackbod]

@@KahurangiSteez Oh I like that!

[@brotzmannsax]

Excellent analysis, this song needs to be heard in it's proper context to really be appreciated.

[@Sagitarria]

listen to the whole album- it's a story

[@markdavis7345]

FZ said he was reacting to music having just been outlawed in Iran (this was in '79) and he thought he'd do a "Stupid high school play about music being outlawed in the US." Packard Goose is one of my favorites off of this album.

[@barrywilson1294]

Packard Goose is definitely one of my favorites. And it sums up Zappa’s opinion of music journalism and maybe all journalism. The guitar solo is killer.

[@TarantuLandoCalcuLingus]

Wasn't it also a piss take to the pmrc? I was unaware of the music ban in Iran so thanks!

I love these Zappa reactions, you two are digging deep and going for some of the lesser known songs!!! A Little Green Rosetta isn't some epic crazy opus but more of a happy catchy little song that's like a party. A bit of silliness to close out the album. :D

We loved it!

It kind of seems like an after party for the staff for the musician the the albums over let's have fun and let's put it on the album what the hell

[@leoscone4036]

This is indeed the radioactively glowing green rosetta pooted forth upon the perfect muffin of his whole career. It is perhaps the best of ridiculous Zappa, and coming right after "Watermelon In Easter Hay", which is peak Zappa guitar and emotion, and being the last song on Joe's Garage Pt. III, it offers absolutely no resolution to the whole story, and in a way, for Frank, the ONLY possible resolution. It's a stupid song and that's the way he likes it. "Pretty good musicians..." Imagine how good you have to be to play that "bad" on purpose! Blessings!

[@SightAfterDark]

Thanks for being here!

[@SalamaSond]

Wonderful response: "I liked what a 3-year-old would like". You guys watched the live video of Muffin Man, so you maybe didn't get the rosetta reference...part of the storyline. That's "Conceptual Continuity" as Frank called it. Check out the album version of MM on Bongo Fury. Close your eyes and enjoy the ride.

[@mikedemike5393]

a muffin is a simple recording whipped up and the green rosetta is the nasty dissonant aspect he may apply

[@jimhardiman3836]

Talk about listening to a concept album bass ackwards. This is the last song on Joe's Garage right after Watermelon Hay on side six of the vinyl. You're right it was presented like a musical. And in fact there's a whole performance on KZbin by a college troupe complete with all the sleaziness and colorful language. it's actually pretty good.

[@altohippiegabber]

Spike Jones was the first major talented artist to deconstruct popular music way back in the 40s confirming Zappa's quote : Does Humor Belong in Music? you should try listening to some of his work with the City Slickers 😃

[@davidbonner4556]

^This. In his day Spike Jones was just as much a political satirist and Iconoclast as Zappa. "Cocktails for Two" celebrated the end of prohibition ("No longer slinking, respectably drinking, like civilized ladies and men") and of course "Der Furor's face" hit #1 during WWII.

[@iancrockert5110]

It's really really neaty.

[@TonySchopp]

Yup, that's deft control of the theme concept, narrative and musical expression on the highest level. Just because it's hard AF doesn't mean the band can't have a whole bunch of fun. I'm unaware of any other recording that I've owned in my life (since 1981) where the reward system within a given band was set to such a high standard, for not just the band but the engaged listener as well. There are many Zappa albums that push the limits of musicality to the limit but the stuff on this album is incredibly visceral, acrobatic and joyous. It's an abstract sonic sculpture. I think a human being becomes changed for the better after hearing this music. There are lessons within Franks music that can be applied to our lives. What I've gleaned from it and it's my absolute favorite lesson, is that one can be very serious about life matters but us humans should realize how much more successful each moment can be if we look for every opportunity along the way to exercise fun. It helps further stimulate our brains to remain creative and bright. Life never gets old if you run it like that! Thanks for posting this, you guys.

First I have to say how much I loooooooved this reaction. I feel like you guys have reached master level Zappa fans! This Zappa journey you’ve been on has been so much fun for me, more so than any other reactors on YT. Thank you for taking this on. Second, the icing on the cake for me would be watching you take on Joe’s Garage in its entirety. Consider it post doctorate studies 😂. You can’t really call yourselves Zappa fans if you haven’t learned Joe’s Garage. Yup, I went there. Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet (probably) but Frank’s recording studio was called the UMRK (Utility Muffin Research Kitchen). Another useless nugget for you.

[@SightAfterDark]

So glad you’ve enjoyed the reactions! Gotta go, we’ve got lots of muffins to research

[@davidbonner4556]

To me the song "Joe's Garage" is kind of an abridged pocket guide to the History of Rock & Roll... At the beginning the music has a late 50s-Early 60s vibe and as the song goes on the musical style progresses through the evolution of rock through the decades.

[@michaelthomas8592]

Open arms and a !WTF! face was my first reaction when I heard this for the first time... and as it progresses I got happier and happier... Another piece of Frank. One of a kind. "A mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work unless it's open."

[@SightAfterDark]

[@zippydoodah1547]

Joe lives in a world where music is banned, it had just happened in Iran, I think the song is just a light, silly touch to close a fairly grim story. Great reaction as always Keep well

Go figure. Your right the world is having a bad time right now. I'm in Seattle and luckily we've dodged a bullet as far as fires go here on the west side of the mountains. In the eastern 2/3 of our state there are twenty two fires burning currently. Hopefully there is some way to delay that trouble that's been coming every day !!!

[@MarcosElMalo2]

There’s places in the song when no one is in step rhythmically, but (I’m pretty sure) each musician is keeping his or her own beat consistent. It’s not sloppy, it’s not polyrhythmic, it’s anti-rhythm.

[@dondean9899]

WWWWEEEELLLLLL it takes a RRRRReally good musician to play badly in a good way and still keep it all together

[@SightAfterDark]

[@patricktilton5377]

It just occurred to me . . . this song, the finale to the JOE'S GARAGE dystopian absurdist dramedy, is like the final episode of THE PRISONER, the late '60s TV show created by & starring Patrick McGoohan. It was when Frank started singing "the brass bone connected to the wish bone..." that I remembered how the top-hat-wearing younger guy in that final PRISONER episode ["Fallout"] sang the "Dry bones" song a lot. Everybody, go re-watch the 18-episode classic Brit-TV show, and pay attention to how crazy its last episode was -- which pissed off a great many fans who eagerly watched that finale wondering how it was all going to end. Think of it! Joe, during the story, becomes a literal prisoner and loses his fucking mind, only to 'escape' in the end but just to resign himself to a life of muffin-decorating . . . just as #6 (who was really #1 all along) ends up back home, but with his front door now automatically (and pneumatically) shutting, just like the one in The Village did, i.e. nothing's changed, and he's still a prisoner in his own mind. The real world had become The Village. If it weren't for that brief lyrical nod Frank gives to "Dem bones dem bones" . . . by singing "the brass bone connected to the wish bone" . . . well, I don't think it would've occurred to me that Frank had probably seen THE PRISONER and liked that it was the polar opposite of all the other spy-adventure shows on TV back then -- shows like THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. . . . I SPY . . . MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE . . . you name it -- with an ending that was just fucking NUTS, and unashamedly so. I definitely think I'm on to something here, folks!

Bellissimi questo 3*1 albums, in cui prosegue la tela dipinta di Frank, come "concept album" colmo di xenocronia. Questa canzone è l'epilogo, Joe dopo tante vicissitudini si adegua alla società formale, voleva cambiare il mondo della musica con la sua musica ma si ritrova alla fine a cuocere dei dolci. Il coro accomuna il pensiero dei tanti musicisti che seguono il suo pensiero. In questi tre album c'è tanta ironia e tanta musica fondamentale di Zappa. In Italia, specie a Roma, la rosetta è un tipo di pane, vuoto all'interno, non si trova ormai facilmente. Prende il nome dal fiore rose significa piccola rosa. Se vedete l'immagine, si può tagliare per un panino oppure si toglie il bottone superiore e il panino si riempie da sopra e poi si richiude. Comunque qui non è un dolce. Ciao!! Beautiful this 3*1 albums, in which Frank's painted canvas continues, as a "concept album" full of xenochrony. This song is the epilogue, Joe after so many vicissitudes adapts to the formal society, he wanted to change the world of music with his music but he finds himself in the end to cook sweets. The choir unites the thought of the many musicians who follow his thought. In these three albums there is a lot of irony and a lot of fundamental music by Zappa. In Italy, especially in Rome, the "rosetta" is a type of bread, empty inside, it is not easily found now. It takes its name from the flower rose means small rose. If you see the picture, you can cut it for a sandwich or remove the top button and the sandwich fills up from above and then closes again. However here it is not a dessert. Hello!!

[@SightAfterDark]

Hai ragione lo adoriamo, adoriamo lo stile di Frank ma, ora avevamo fame! ☺️ Ciao!

[@andrewmantle7674]

Another great reaction you guys. Genuine enjoyment oozing out. The little green Rosetta or quarter ounce green rosette is an over dub applied to a live recording.or dense but radiant muffin of his own design. Frank is the Muffin Man arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot. I guess studio recordings may have seemed sterile to Frank compared to the warmth of some of his live recordings captured with his amazing bands. You guys picked up on it after your reaction to Yo Mama, when you said “That was live?”. Another example of this at its best is Toad O Line off this album. It started as a solo he played in Inca Roads one night it’s on the One Shot Deal album. Frank used that recording with a new backing track built around it and tempo changed slightly. An amazing outcome for it’s placement on the album. Pure genius. I love this song that you’ve just reacted to. I could play it to 100 people that I know and they would all say, “what’s this crap?” They just don’t get it. Unfortunately they don’t have the mental capacity to handle it. You guy’s do. I’m loving it. Looking forward to the next one.👍

Not because this song is bad...but the joke does wear thin around the 100th listen. Although , I must admit, I laughed yet again, listening to it with you guys. But I might not be the only person that stops the Joe's Garage album before this song starts.

[@reidwhitton6248]

Better to start from the beginning with this concept album. A Little Green Rosetta is one of those WTF? album endings that hasn't a whole lot to do with the story. But it can be viewed as a bit of comic relief and a piece of "conceptual continuity" as Frank makes reference to the spoken intro to Muffin Man. The story of Joe's Garage is an exercise in absurdity but touches on a number of truths. This album was released around the time of the hostage crisis in Iran. The idea put forth in the album story being authoritarian regimes enforcing conformity and outlawing certain forms of entertainment deemed immoral and hazardous to society. In the case of Joe's Garage it's music.

This is the song that followed WIEH, and concludes album. Don't wish too hard about the album reaction, this is three LP's long! You have heard three songs from it so far, but you really are off the mark a bit about what it is about. It starts with Joe getting into music, as society starts to outlaw it, it ends with a music free world, but it is about the journey to that point. Poor Joe goes through a ton of crap along the way, but I won't spoil it because your wish may come true.

See here's the thing that was the very last song of the trilogy of Joe's Garage there was the first release which was one of them and then there was two and three which is the other two albums here's a funny little thing I think the girls in the background one of them was from the band The Missing Persons so yeah you would almost have to go chronological since that's a real concept album maybe just throw one in every once in awhile and just go through it so you'll get the whole story cuz wow there is just some real brilliant stuff I remember one time we were jamming out in this song it was actually a garage actually though it had insulation to make it a lot quieter but anyhow redondo's finest Redondo Beach police came and knocked on the door and we would laugh because we would think it was our friends and we would make a joke like say something as if you're really scared and we would say cops cops cops hey we open the door and it's a said yep that's right and one of the cops said to us what do you think this is Joe's Garage? Because there's a part where well I won't give away the plot you'll have to hear the album I mean really it would be worth it for you to go through the first song and go through chronologically you know just every once in awhile just it might take a while but unless you want to do like a whole side and then no second side third side for side V side sixth side it's so funny I'm thinking from the Paradigm of actual vinyl alright you crazy kids just remember Brooklyn owes the charmer over me there's a song for you to do Steely Dan oh by the way ZETA !!!

We’ve heard it! We actually do full album reactions on patreon, and that was one of the first we did :)
