What is your favorite Zappa song?

Mine is Montana - this version in particular - http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wp7S7SI0flQ&search=Frank%20zappa

I also enjoy Rollo immensley - http://youtube.com/watch?v=MoExM8H-c9k&search=Frank%20zappa

everything off of You Are What You Is,

hell man, so far everything I've heard (despite Lumpy Gravy - still working on trying to like this one), has been great.

No one knows what the purpose of it originally was or if it had a purpose at all. Personally I think it was a pure artistic creation from the beginning.

that song is kick ass - when I first got Hot Rats, I listened to that song over and over. Smile

I'll give a top six in no particular order cause i can't choose:
  • Peaches In Regalia
  • We Are Not Alone
  • City Of Tiny Lites (from Shiek Yerbouti)
  • Inca Roads
  • The Duke Of Prunes
  • G-spot Tornado (Yellow Shark)
Granted this will probably change if i think about it alittle bit more Embarrassed

Lets see, I love "It Cant Happen Here" or maybe "The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque."  There are way too many great Zappa songs
