Dan Gould Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 And if you do, can you not help but hear "Take it Trummy Young" as part of the lyrics? For 30 years I've heard it that way, and more often now because Percy France played it a lot. Are there any other tunes that, when you hear it, a particular exclamation by the singer is "part" of the song, for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgcim Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 My favorite one is on The Mothers of Invention album "Live at the Fillmore East 1971, On "Little House I Used To Live In", there's a lightening fast transition to a short drum solo, and Zappa exclaims, "Ainsleydunbar",condensing a four syllable name into one syllable in the space of a quick quarter note. I don't know what he did when Dunbar left the group, but I can't imagine that song without "Ainsleydubar" in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Oh my...I already knew that one from Burnt Weenie Sandwich...I can't imagine that song without Ian Underwood's piano into and Sugarcane Harris' violin break... I like the Flo & Eddie band more than many, but for that song...that was THE Mothers, imo. Every band after that was a Zappa band called the Mothers. Tel you what I hear...any number of trad drum solos/breaks that go "ringtailmonkeywiththePOPityPOP..." at some point...once heard, neer forgotten!
