(Zappa, Duke)
Wo, are we movin' too slow?
Have you seen us,
Uncle Remus . . .
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do)
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It ain't bad in the day
If they squirt it your way
'Cept in the winter, when it's froze
An' it's hard if it hits
On yer nose
On yer nose
Just keep yer nose
To the grindstone, they say
Will that redeem us,
Uncle Remus . . .
I can't wait till my Fro is full-grown
I'll just throw 'way my Doo-Rag at home
I'll take a drive to BEVERLY HILLS
Just before dawn
An' knock the little jockeys
Off the rich people's lawn
An' before they get up
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Before they get up
I'll be knocking the jockeys off the lawn
Down in the dew

Frank Vincent Zappa (1940-1993) è stato un musicista, compositore, produttore discografico e regista statunitense considerato uno dei più influenti artisti del XX secolo. Nato a Baltimore, Maryland, Zappa iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60 come leader del gruppo The Mothers of Invention, con cui pubblicò album innovativi e provocatori che mescolavano rock, jazz, musica classica e avant-garde. Conosciuto per il suo talento polistrumentale, la sua scrittura complessa e le sue performance energiche, Zappa ha prodotto una vasta discografia di oltre 60 album in studio. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano "Purple Haze", "Peaches en Regalia" e "Billy the Mountain". Oltre alla musica, Zappa si è dedicato anche al cinema, dirigendo film come "200 Motels" (1971) e scrivendo saggi politici. La sua eredità musicale continua a influenzare generazioni di artisti.
