Give me
Your dirty love
Like you might surrender
To some dragon in your dreams

Give me
Your dirty love
Like a pink donation
To the dragon in your dreams

I don't need your sweet devotion
An' I don't want your cheap emotion
Whip me up some dragon lotion
For your dirty love
Your dirty love

Give me
Your dirty love
Like some tacky little pamphlet
In your daddy's bottom drawer

Give me
Your dirty love
I don't believe you never seen
His book before

I don't need no consolation
I don't want your reservation
I only got one destination
An' that's your dirty love
Your dirty love

Give me
Your dirty love
Just like your mama
Make her fuzzy poodle do
(Oh, Frenchie . . . )

Give me
Your dirty love
The way your mama
Make that nasty poodle chew

I'll ignore your cheap aroma
And your little-bo-peep diploma
I'll just put you in a coma
With some dirty love
Some dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love

THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!

THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Snap it!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Snap it!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Not a speck of cereal!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Nothing but the best for my dog!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Come on!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Come on, Frenchie)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Little paws sticking up!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Little curly hairs!)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!

How well this holds up after so long.  Love Frank Zappa!

Have you ever seen the show where he plays a bicycle in a suit & tie?  Classic!
not sure how to rate this - it's very sleazy, rank, offensive.... well - dirty
however I did enjoy Billy the Mountain in my youth .........

Wow...for an artist with a catalog as vast as Zappa's (well over 70 albums), this site only has 8 songs on their list?
And this one was last played 7 months ago?
What a shame.

you are missing the point of art.  it is no always timeless (however in fz's defense his music will be enjoyed for a long, long time) but part of an era.  When you say that his music posed as intllectual rebellion, I would have to take a guess and say that you probably weren't even born at the time, because at the time it was intellectual rebellion.  Music and artistry must be looked at through the lens of history. Frank Zappa stood for intellectual rebellion in a time when it was sorely needed.  And I have to say as a musician, weird al couldn't sit in the same zip code.  w3weasel wrote:

I just don't freaking get it.

In my mind, Zappa occupies a space on the shelf next to Weird Al.  It's kinda funny, kinda cleaver, but mostly nonsensical.  Add to that the VERY dated 70's Heavy rock sound (italicized for irony) that lacks any real spark of genius.

I'm not saying I hate Zappa, I just don't understand why legions are prepared to lift him on high with the many greats that occupied his time period.

At his very best, he is a side-show attraction... certainly entertaining, but I still feel embarrassed for spending my time on it, because ultimately it's low-brow junk posing as intellectual rebellion.

Have you ever seen them do Whipping Post by the Allman Bros.? Kicked ass!!!!

 
For my money, their best Whippin Post was from the Humour in Music video —- it had a reggae breakdown in the middle of it.  Incredible.

Great to hear FZ again. Doesn't ever happen unless I do it to myself!! Until Now! Thanks Bill & Rebecca!

Tip for fans: Get the FZ cd "Best Band You Never Heard", check out the Johnny Cash connection
 

That is a good tip, the CD is one his best,

I understand that was the last song he played in concert before his death......

Perfect for yet another wet, grey west coast morning.


Definately one of Zappa's best for sure. The artwork on the original LP cover is really off the wall also...On the CD they removed the border that has all the offending stuff..

Truly amazing music lyrics way before its time.
Ahhh - if there is one person in the music universe I miss, it's FZ.
They don't make them like this anymore!

Ill ignore your cheap aroma
And your little-bo-peep diploma
Ill just put you in a coma

Brilliant musician as well as social satirist.

Sorry...I just can't stand it.  I turned it off, went into my son's room and scratched his blackboard for a bit to get over this.

We had this album when I was a kid, and the cover alone creeped me out. I remember thinking I would get sick if I touched it. {#Curtain}
Dragon lotion baby!!!!!!

This man is a virtuoso on guitar.

FZ: an acquired taste...had one of his albums (memory fails me) back in the day and one side was a continuum of startling noise...a rather thought-provoking vibe.

Roger that and ditto!

Looks like I missed the first two times!
Blast from the past!! His body of work was astounding, and even though about 1/3 i didn't care for, he had something many musicians never achieve - a sound all his own-although it was hard to pin down, so varied, he is definitely a legend in rock/fusion/jazz/zap!!!

Would have been a nice segue to go into Dirty Boulevard by Lou Reed?

the combination of humor & good music is as rare as flowers in the dessert

backing vocals: 'the pudel bites' ; who else but Zappa would let them sing such nonsense ;-)))

Yea!!!!! We got Zappa now!!!  Thanks, Bill!!

(OBTW, I got a toy poodle named "Rocky!"  7 lbs of viciousness!!)

love you Bill.....love RP...thank you, thank you

LOL! What a howl! Love it, even at work.....


My husband courted me to this song.

Love it!
This would be fine on the weekend, but geeze my boss walked up to my desk when this was playing and I had to hit the mute and fast!
I rather like Zappa in short and infrequent doses. He's different.  :)
What a hottie, what a song, 10!

I am going to get so busted for posting this while I'm supposed to be working - but I just gotta do it! 

Zappa is the embodiment of everything rock and roll means to me.  Thanks Bill for playing this!

Yes, Thank you!
FrANkTASTIC, thanks Bill!

Had to stop working for a minute to say..."Oh yeah." Almost 30 years ago in college, sittin' back, beer in hand, Zappa on stereo....it's all comin' back to me (hazy, but it is comin' back ) {#Devil_pimp}
A big thank you to whoever uploaded this little gem!
WAZOO!!!
