Mother
People (uncensored version)
When this song first appeared on We're Only in it for the Money LP, a verse
was censored out and included backwards under the title "Hot Poop" at the
end of side one. When Zappa released the album on CD together with Lumpy
Gravy (Rykodisc 40024) he included the original verse. BUT for this edition
Frank had Arthur Barrow and Chad Wackerman to re-record the bass and drums
parts. Later, We're Only... was reissued on CD (Rykodisc 10503) from the
LP stereo master tape... so the unfamous verse appeared censored out once
again! Now you can download the ORIGINAL UNCENSORED VERSION OF "MOTHER
PEOPLE" with the original bass and drums of Roy Estrada and Jimmy Carl
Black.Dead
Girls of London. (As sung by Van Morrison). During
the recording sessions for this song (written by Indian violinist L.Shankar
with lyrics by Frank), Van Morrison was hanging at the studio. Frank
invited the Irish artist to sing this song. Morrison accepted and received
his paycheck. But in those days Zappa was sueing Warner Brothers, so the
label declined permission for Morrison to participate on the record. The
song was finally included on the L. Shankar album Touch Me There with Zappa
and Ike Willis on lead vocals.Lumpy

Graff).

is of course The Beatles song that the great 1988 touring band performed
in several shows. Allegedly, Zappa always liked this John Lennon composition.
It is said that FZ could not include this song on any CD since Michael
Jackson (currrent owner of the Lennon-McCartney catalog) denied permision.
(Zappa mocked Jackson extensively during that tour, particularily with
the song "Why don't you like me" - a new lyric version of "Tell me you
love me"). Lead vocals by Ike Willis.Night
