SHEIK YERBOUTI

I bought this record when it first came out, when I was a teenager. The reason I bought this was because it made me laugh. Lots of teen humor here and I played it over and over. If my parents knew what I was listening to! I have never stopped listening to it. If you took out all the lyrics, it is still an awesome album. I still get chills when Frank hits the driving chords section of RAT TOMAGO (FYI - tomago is japanese for egg). RUBBER SHIRT and SHEIK YERBOUTI TANGO are also great lyricl-less cuts. I think this was the first Zappa album I actually bought, so it means a lot to me and will always be one of my favorites.
