it is 14 years now that the musical genius frank zappa died. not many were that busy and versatile… one of my favorite songs: camarillo brillo
wie die zeit rast… unglaubliche 14 jahre ist es jetzt schon wieder her, dass das wahnsinnig fleißige und vielfältige musikgenie frank zappa gestorben ist.
einer meiner frühen lieblingslieder war camarillo brillo 
She had thatCamarillo brillo
Flamin’ out along her head,
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red
She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo
She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn’t done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn’t come in
(I couldn’t come in right then . . . )
And so she wandered
Through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An’ I’d just love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She stripped away
Her rancid poncho
An’ laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An’ it was useless any more
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn’t done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn’t come in
(actually, I was very busy then)
And so she wandered
Through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An’ I’d just love it in her room
Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets
She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
(Is that a real poncho . . . I mean
Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Hmmm . . . no foolin’ . . . )
Thanks for visiting my blog. You are quite the artist yourself, these art dolls are fantastic and glancing over your picture trail gallery you’ve posted some fantastic collage pieces and what more can I say about the 60′s and 70′s. I dig all those musicians of those days. I’m a child of the 60′s. Frank Zappa lives on!
I think Frank was one of those souls who were born to bring progression and growth to the creative consciousness. He was such a brilliant man and it is amazing the influence he has to this day on music.
