Two Zappa songs that make fun of the disco scene in the late 70s. Dancing Fool for me

I may be totally wrong but I will vote for
Dancin' Fooooool....oooool
I'm not crazy about either song, but the lyrics to DF are just a little better. Disco Boy also leaves a bad taste in my mouth for its scene in Baby Snakes where the camera just zooms in on Frank flirting with that starstruck stoned fangirl for 5 minutes.

Neither are anywhere near my favorite Zappa songs. I assume we're talking about the originals for both. Disco Boy is a lot better live, but it's original studio version is waayyyyy too slow. Dancin' Fool has it's moments, so I went with that.

My favorite part is when Frank "plays" Roy Estrada, and the performance of Dinah-Moe Humm.
The Baby Snakes album makes me crack up every time.

It's a good shot, but it just overstays its welcome IMO. I get it Frank, you can still wow the girls.

Definitely a fool for Fool. Disco Boy is a little annoying but it has some good lines."Disco boy! Run to toilet and comb your hair." "you never go doody that's what you think."
