Sheik Yerbouti
18 years ago
I got Sheik Yerbouti by Frank Zappa a few days ago, and it's been on loop since. One thing I love about Zappa is the character in the lyrics. There's some really funny yet intelligent humor in it. And musically, it's absolutely brilliant.
The first time I was exposed to Zappa was when we watched Baby Snakes in animation class. Part of what we watched was this clip plays Baby Snakes in the background (on Sheik Yerbouti)

There's lots of instruments you just don't hear clearly on youtube, notably the badass piano at the end, so it's hardly doing the song justice. However, if you want to see some absolutely crazy animation, you'll enjoy this clip. The animator's name is Bruce Bickford. I'd recommend looking up more of his stuff on youtube. He's pretty amazing.
Anyway, this is the second album I've gotten by Frank Zappa. The other one I have is Joe's Garage. I definitely need moar. If any Zappa fans read this and have recommendations, I'll hear them.
