He does have some goofy lyrics though, I totally agree. Yea,h, there are some that are a bit less of a hidden meaning, such as:

http://www.metrolyrics.com/im-the-slime-lyrics-frank-zappa.html

But some are simply re-telling the story of something that happened to a friend or band member:

A lot of people get hung up on the lyrics, often dismissing them as tasteless.
However, the instrumentals let his musicianship (and that of the band) really shine.

And, since Camarillo Brillo came out first, than I guess it's the "original" and Cosmik Debris is the reference.]]> Opinions and Polls kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/vai-zappa-and-others/paged/3/#post-353083 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/vai-zappa-and-others/paged/2/#post-353071 Wed, 19 May 2010 14:54:42 +0000
