Introducción

Como comentamos en el anterior artículo, en 1970Zappa formó una nueva versión de The Mothers. Esta formación debutó en el tercer álbum en solitario de Zappa, Chunga's Revenge (1970).

El siguiente trabajo de Zappa con The Mothers fue la banda sonora del álbum doble de la película 200 Motels (1971), con The Mothers, la Royal Philharmonic OrchestraRingo StarrTheodore Bikel y Keith Moon. De ese álbum nos ocuparemos en este artículo.

Portada del álbum 200 motels

La película, codirigida por Zappa y Tony Palmer, fue filmada en una semana en Pinewood Studios en las afueras de Londres. Las tensiones entre Zappa y varios miembros del elenco y el equipo surgieron antes y durante el rodaje. La película trata libremente de la vida en la carretera como músico de rock. Fue el primer largometraje fotografiado en cinta de vídeo y transferido a película de 35 mm, un proceso que permitió efectos visuales novedosos. Fue lanzado con críticas mixtas. La partitura se basó ampliamente en la música orquestal, y la insatisfacción de Zappa con el mundo de la música clásica se intensificó cuando un concierto, programado en el Royal Albert Hall después de la filmación, fue cancelado porque un representante del lugar encontró algunas de las letras obscenas. En 1975, perdió una demanda contra el Royal Albert Hall por incumplimiento de contrato. Cuando se tocó "Penis Dimension" al juez, el juez Mocatta, él respondió: "¿Tengo que escuchar esto?". El estreno en el Reino Unido no fue hasta el 29 de octubre de 2013, casi 20 años después de la muerte de Zappa.

200 Motels - La película

Argumento

La película intenta retratar el estilo de vida impetuoso de los músicos de rock en gira, el film se compone de una serie de viñetas absurdas, inconexas e intercaladas con imágenes de conciertos de The Mothers of Invention. En un momento, mientras The Mothers of Invention están de gira se vuelven locos en la pequeña ciudad ficticia de Centerville ("un agradable lugar para criar a sus hijos"), pasean cuando en un bar unos vaqueros les propinan una paliza. En un interludio largo de dibujos animados, el bajista "Jeff" deja el grupo, al igual que su homólogo de la vida real, Jeff Simmons, quien fue despedido por insubordinación antes de la película. Simmons fue sustituido por Martin Lickert (chófer de Ringo) para la película. En 200 Motels hay varios efectos especiales en casi todas las escenas, en donde se incluye exposiciones dobles y triples, solarización, falso color y cambios de velocidad, estos efectos eran innovadores para 1971. 200 Motels ha sido denominada como un "documental surrealista".




Historia

Zappa comenzó a escribir una película para su nueva formación llamada 200 Motels, y la banda debutó en el álbum en solitario de Zappa titulado Chunga's Revenge (1970), que se produjo como un adelanto de la película y ya hemos comentado en un anterior artículo. Zappa también se reunió con el director de orquesta Zubin Mehta. Organizaron un concierto en mayo de 1970 donde Mehta dirigió la Filarmónica de Los Ángeles. Este material sirvió como un segundo preestreno de la película. Adjunto un link a ese concierto, que se ha editado en varios bootlegs:


Imagen de uno de los bootlegs que se han editado de ese concierto.

Contenido del concierto


De acuerdo con Zappa, la música fue escrita principalmente en habitaciones de motel durante una gira con The Mothers of Invention. Algunas de ellas están presentes en la película.​ Aunque el concierto fue un éxito, la experiencia de trabajar una orquesta sinfónica no fue lo suficientemente satisfactoria para Zappa. Su descontento se convirtió en un tema recurrente a lo largo de su carrera, a menudo sentía que la calidad del desempeño de las orquestas con su material compuesta no era acorde al dinero que invertía.

Poster de la película


Zappa lanzó la película para United Artists. Los estudio de cine dieron a Zappa 650.000 dólares para terminar el proyecto, que Zappa previó inicialmente estrenarla para la televisión holandesa antes de su próxima gira.



Producción


Fue el primer largometraje grabado en video y transferido a película de 35 mm utilizando una impresora de película Technicolor empleada por la BBC, un proceso que permitió añadir nuevos efectos visuales.​ 

En 2009, 200 Motels fue reeditada con un comentario de audio del director de la película Tony Palmer y actualmente está disponible en DVD.

Tony Palmer en el Sofia international Film Festival, marzo 2017.


De acuerdo a los comentarios de Palmer, todos los efectos de vídeo fueron creados en vivo, a través de un mezclador de vídeo y múltiples cámaras. No hubo efectos posproducción.

Recepción

El equipo de prensa de United Artists para la película declaró: "Para el público que ya conoce y aprecia a THE MOTHERS, proporcionará una extensión lógica de nuestros conciertos y grabaciones". El estreno de la película se mostró en el Teatro Doheny Plaza en Hollywood, California, con críticas mixtas.  200 Motels actualmente tiene una calificación del 57% en Rotten Tomatoes basada en siete reseñas.  Roger Ebert le dio a la película tres estrellas de cuatro, diciendo que la película; "es un experimento alegre, fanático, un poco extraño en los usos del proceso de cinta de video en color", y también afirmando; "Asalta la mente con todo a mano"

200 Motels - La banda sonora

La banda sonora de 200 Motels fue lanzada en Estados Unidos por United Artists Records el 4 de octubre de 1971, y presenta una combinación de canciones de rock y jazz, música orquestal y diálogos hablados cómicos.

Imagen del libreto original



Al igual que la película, el álbum cubre una historia completa sobre The Mothers of Invention volviéndose loca en la pequeña ciudad de Centerville y el bajista Jeff dejando el grupo, al igual que su contraparte de la vida real, Jeff Simmons, quien dejó el grupo antes de que la película comenzara a filmarse y fue reemplazado por el actor Martin Lickert para la película.

Imagen del libreto original



El álbum alcanzó el puesto número 59 en el Billboard 200, aunque los críticos lo consideraron una parte secundaria del catálogo de ZappaRichie Unterberger de Allmusic criticó lo que él llamó la "creciente tendencia a desplegar el humor smutty y barato que pronto dominaría gran parte del trabajo de Zappa", pero dijo que "Aquellos a quienes les gusta su trabajo de finales de los 60 / principios de los 70 [...] probablemente le guste este castigo".



Música y letras


Las canciones de rock y comedia "Mystery Roach", "Lonesome Cowboy Burt", "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy", "What Will This Evening Bring Me This Morning" y "Magic Fingers", y el final "Strictly Genteel", que mezcla elementos orquestales y de rock, fueron señalados como aspectos destacados del álbum por el crítico Richie Unterberger. François Couture, un crítico de Allmusic, dijo que "Mystery Roach" contiene múltiples significados, todos los cuales tienen una conexión con el tema lírico en la discografía de Zappa. Estos incluyen el pez de agua dulce, ya que el álbum en vivo de Mothers of Invention Fillmore East - june 1971 contenía una canción que se refería al tiburón de barro, una colilla de cigarrillo de cannabis, lo que hace que el personaje Jeff se vuelva loco dentro del contexto de la historia de la película, y un peinado con rizos, que conecta la canción líricamente con "Jelly Roll Gumdrop", una canción de Cruising with Ruben & the Jets. La versión que aparece en el álbum es diferente de la versión que aparece en la película, ya que le faltan pequeños solos de guitarra eléctrica de Zappa, y no fue guionizada como parte de la película en su arreglo eléctrico, ya que originalmente se escribió en tres arreglos acústicos separados y no utilizados orientados al blues. La canción no fue interpretada en vivo.

"Dance of the Rock & Roll Interviewers" es una pieza orquestal originalmente destinada a ser emparejada con "Touring Can Make You Crazy" como parte de una de las primeras escenas en la que la banda llega a Centerville y es recibida por periodistas musicales, pero solo una parte de la secuencia, que representa un maniquí de Zappa siendo destrozado por los periodistas, apareció en la película final, debido a restricciones de tiempo y presupuesto, y la secuencia "Touring Can Make You Crazy" no se filmó y no aparece en la película. Con respecto a "Touring", Couture escribe que "Las largas notas de contrabajo y la atmósfera oscura general y el tempo lento sugieren un viaje agotador"

Imagen del libreto original


El álbum cuenta con cinco segmentos que forman la suite "This Town Is A Sealed Tuna Sandwich": un prólogo, el "Tuna Fish Promenade", "Dance of the Just Plain Folks", una repetición de la melodía principal, y la conclusión "The Sealed Tuna Bolero". Solo el bolero final apareció en la película. La suite "Tuna Sandwich" fue escrita como continuada por la secuencia y composición "Centerville". "Would You Like A Snack?" es una versión vocal de la composición de Zappa "Holiday in Berlin", que reaparece a lo largo del álbum y la película en diferentes arreglos, incluida la "Semi-Fraudulent/Direct-From-Hollywood Overture". La letra de "Would You Like A Snack?" es similar a la pieza de teatro en el álbum en vivo de Zappa Ahead of Their Time. Zappa grabó anteriormente una canción no relacionada del mismo nombre, que cuenta con miembros de Mothers of Invention y la cantante de Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick

Imagen del libreto original


"Redneck Eats" comienza y termina con un diálogo hablado con el personaje Lonesome Cowboy Burt (interpretado por Jimmy Carl Black) abucheando a la orquesta, que está interpretando una composición influenciada por Igor Stravinsky y Edgard Varese. "Janet's Big Dance Number" trata sobre uno de los dos personajes de groupie de la película y presenta "Acordes de piano lentos [...] tocado sobre notas de contrabajo sostenidas. El coro entra tarde en la pieza, recogiendo la melodía stravinskiana esbozada por los acordes". "Lucy's Seduction of a Bored Violinist", sigue al otro personaje de groupie, y presenta "una melodía suave, seguida de un descanso rítmico y un rollo tímpano" y una repetición más rápida de la melodía "Janet". El álbum combina "Lucy" con "Postlude" de la película, que aparece durante los créditos finales, y se toca en un clavicémbalo. 

La segunda mitad del álbum comienza con la suite "Dental Hygiene Dilemma", que comienza con "I'm Stealing The Towels", para la cual se guionizó la secuencia de película correspondiente y se filmó parcialmente, antes de que se determinara que el metraje era inutilizable y se cortara la secuencia.  La parte principal de la suite, "Dental Hygiene Dilemma", apareció en la película como una caricatura animada de Charles Swenson, quien más tarde dirigió la película Down and Dirty Duck con los miembros de la banda Mothers of Invention y las estrellas de 200 Motels Mark Volman y Howard Kaylan.

Imagen del libreto original



La parte principal de la suite, "Dental Hygiene Dilemma" incorpora elementos de banda de rock, orquesta y diálogo hablado, y representa a Jeff fumando un cigarrillo de marihuana que había sido sumergido en los "líquidos espumosos" de Don Preston e imaginando a Donovan apareciendo ante él en un televisor montado en la pared como su "buena conciencia" y pidiéndole que no robara las toallas. mientras que Studebacher Hoch se le aparece como su mala conciencia, "vestido como Jim Pons", y convence a Jeff de abandonar The Mothers of Invention, formar su propia banda de hard rock y tocar música como Grand Funk Railroad o Black Sabbath. En la vida real, Simmons comenzó su propia banda de blues rock después de dejar la banda de Zappa, y lanzó el álbum Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up para Straight Records, que Zappa produjo.

En "Dilemma", Volman exclama: "¡Tenemos que volver a la normalidad antes de que Zappa se entere y lo robe y lo haga hacerlo en la película!"

"A Nun Suit Painted on Some Old Boxes" es la primera parte de una suite para voz soprano, coro y orquesta llamada "I Have Seen the Plited Gazelle". La suite critica la religión organizada y hace referencia al hilo dental, conectando la suite con la canción posterior de Zappa "Montana", que aparece en el álbum Over-Nite Sensation. En la película, "A Nun Suit" precede a la caricatura "Dental Hygiene Dilemma", pero se coloca antes de la canción de rock "Magic Fingers" en este álbum, eliminando el contexto de la línea "¿Quieres ver una película de higiene dental?" La suite "Gazelle" continúa con "Motorhead's Midnight Ranch", "Dew on the Newts We Got" y "The Lad Searches the Night for His Newts", para las cuales la secuencia de la película correspondiente fue filmada solo parcialmente.

Legado

Después de 200 Motels, la banda se fue de gira; el álbum en vivo Just Another Band From L.A. incluyó la canción de 20 minutos "Billy the Mountain", la sátira de Zappa sobre la ópera rock ambientada en el sur de California. Esta canción fue representativa de las representaciones teatrales de la banda en las que las canciones se utilizaron para construir bocetos basados en escenas de 200 Motels, así como nuevas situaciones que a menudo retratan los encuentros sexuales de los miembros de la banda en la carretera.

It's just a place for us to play
To help us pay
The cost of the tickets back to L.A.
The cost of the tickets back to L.A.
The cost of the tickets back to L.A.

All the people in the Sandwich Town
Think the place is great
What if part of it's crumbling down?
Most of them prob'ly won't be 'round...

They'll either be dead
Or moved to San Francisco
(Where everybody thinks they're Heavy Business...
But it's just a Tuna Sandwich from another catering service...)

[Mark:] Jeff has gone out there on that stuff!
[Bad Conscience:] He should have never have used the elixir and only stuck to the incense. Oh, Atlantis...
[Mark:] That was BILLY THE MOUNTAIN, dressed up like Donovan, fading out on the wall-mounted TV screen. Jeff IS flipping out. Road fatigue! We've got to get him back to normal before Zappa finds out, and steals it, and makes him do it in the movie!
[Bad Conscience:] You have a brilliant career ahead of you, my boy, Just GET OUT OF THIS GROUP!
[Mark:] Howard, that was Studebacher Hoch, dressed up like Jim Pons, giving career guidance to the bass player of a rock-oriented comedy group. Jeff's imagination has gone beyond the fringe of audience comprehension. Jeff, Jeff, it's me, the Phlorescent Leech!
[Howard:] Jeff, Jeff, it's me, Eddie!

WOWWWW!
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS ELIXIR!

[Mark: (right channel)] Put it on your steaks, uh, send it overseas, [?] ground, and put it on you surfboard so you won't slip off. Try it on your [Jim Bean Boy], and on the, the red balloons, you can blow up all balloons with it. Put it on your... heh... on... on your pizza. Put it on your shoes, tie your mic with it, and fill up your tires with it.

[Howard: (center)] Use it to clean your swimming pool, sell it to your mother and tell her it's a Rit tie-dye kit, you won't even believe what'll happen when you starch your shirt with it, ironing goes easier and your car windows never looked better in your whole life. Ladies and gentlemen, you can inhale it, and it makes your voice three keys higher, and you can't even stand what happens when you put it on your hair, as hair tonic. Heh, heh. And if you ever tried it as a...

[Jim Pons: (left channel)] Soak your shirts in it, soak your teeth in it. Let it play the piano. Follow it around the block. Wear it instead of jeans. Bathe your puppies with it. Feed it to your ducks. Use it instead of chlorine in your swimming pool. Breathe it. Love it.

What?
WOWWWWWW!
What can I?
WOWWWWWW!
What?
What can I say about this?
WOWWWWWW!...


"Does This Kind of Life Look Interesting to You?" – 2:59

Dee-goo-pee-oo-poo
Ta-dan!

[Bad Conscience:]
Does this kind of life look interesting to you? Night after night, dinners with Herb Cohen. Thrill-packed, fun-filled evenings on the French Riviera at the MIDEM convention. A big tie, the whole bit. Watch Mutt eat, and Leon feed the geese. One thousand green business cards, with your name and the wrong address. Plus six royalty statements, inspected and customized by ran toon tan han toon frammet and dee. Followed by twelve potential suicides as the members of your group, past and present, find out they can't collect unemployment. A dog, a car, an epidemic of body lice with your own record company, your name on the door, electric buzzer to the inner office, Ona's tits, and a three month supply of German bookings with tickets on Air Rangoon. Does this kind of life look interesting to you? As a big rock and roll guitar player in a comedy group?

Hunna hunna hunna

200 Motels
200 Motels
Ran toon han toon
Han-toon-hannnnnn!
200 Motels

[Jeff:]
I'm stealing the room!
I'm stealing the room!

[Chorus:]
Stealing the room
Stealing the
Stealing the room
(Stealing the room)
I'm

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" – 3:11

Ooo-ooo, do you like my new car?
Ooo-ooo, do you like my new car?

She's such a dignified lady
She's so pretty and soft
You can't call her a groupie
It just pisses her off
(Yeah)
She got diamonds and jewelry
She got lotsa new clothes
She ain't hurtin' nobody
So that everyone knows
That she knows what she wants

Knows what she likes
Daddy, daddy, daddy... oooh!
Daddy, daddy, daddy... oooh!
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Look out... she's got her eyes on you

She left her place after midnight
(La la la la la)
She drove to the club
(La la la la-ee-ah!)
You know that her and her partner
(La la la la la)
Came here lookin' for love
(La la la la-ee-ah!)
They want a guy from a group
(La la la la la)
Who's got a thing in a charts
(La la la la-ee-ah!)
IF HIS DICK IS A MONSTER
IF HIS DICK IS A MONSTER
IF HIS DICK IS A MONSTER
They will give him their hearts

'Cause they know what they want
([?] they know about it)
And they know what they like
Daddy, daddy, daddy... oooh!
Daddy, daddy, daddy... oooh!
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Look out... they got their eyes on you

FAM-BAM-YAK-A-TA-TAHHH!

They know what they want
They know what they like
Daddy, daddy, daddy... oooh!
Daddy, daddy, daddy... oooh!
Daddy, daddy, daddy
Awright, you got 'em screamin' all night
(La la la la la)

Ooo-ooo, do you like my new car?
(Do it, do it, d'ya wanna-wanna do it, do it?)
It's a hip thing!
(Ooh!)
Ooo-ooo, do you like my new car?
(Do it, do it, d'ya wanna-wanna do it, do it?)
[?]
(Ooh!)

['Cause they're dancin'!]
(Ooh!)
Ooo-ooo...


"Penis Dimension" – 4:37

Penis dimension
Penis dimension
Penis dimension is worrying me
I can't hardly sleep at night
'Cause of penis dimension

Do you worry?
Do you worry a lot?

No!

Do you worry?
Do you worry and moan...
That the size of your cock is not monstruous enough?

It's your penis dimension!
Penis dimension!

[Howard:]
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah

[Mark:]
Hiya friends. Now just be honest about it. Did you ever consider the possiblity that your penis, and in the case of many dignified ladies, that the size of the titties themselves might provide elements of sub-conscious tension? Weird, twisted anxieties that could force a human being to have to become a politician! A policeman! A jesuit monk
[Howard:] [?]
[Mark:] A rock and roll guitar player! A wino! You name it. Or in the case of the ladies, the ones that can't afford a silicone BEEF-UP, may become writers of hot books
[Howard:] "Manuel, the gardener, placed his burning phallus in her quivering quim."
[Mark:] Yes, or they become Carmelite nuns!
[Howard:] "Gonzo, the lead guitar player, placed his mutated member in her slithering slit." Ha ha ha!
[Mark:] Ooh, or racehorse jockeys. There is no reason why you, or your loved one should suffer. Things are bad enough, without the size of your organ adding even more misery to the TROUBLES OF THE WORLD!
[Howard:] Right on, right on!
[Mark:] Now, if your a lady and you've got munchkin tits, you can console yourself with this age-old line from primary school..
[Mark & Howard:] ANYTHING OVER A MOUTHFUL IS WASTED! YES!
[Mark:] And isn't it the truth? And if you're a guy, and one night you're at a party and you're trying to be cool, I mean, you aren't even wearing any underwear, you're being so cool, and somebody hits on you one night, and he looks you up and down and he says, uh...
[Howard:] Eight inches or less?
[Mark:] Well let me tell you, brothers, that's the time when you got to turn around and look that sonofabitch right between the eyes, and you got to tell him these words...


"What Will This Evening Bring Me This Morning" – 3:29

What will this evening
Bring me this morning?
What will this evening
Bring me this morning?
Dawn will arrive
Without any warning

What will I say
The next day to whatever
I drag to my hotel tonight?
(If things go right!)

What will I say
The next day to whatever
I drag to my hotel tonight?
(Will she be outa-site?)

What will this evening
Bring me this morning?
What will this evening
Bring me this morning?
A succulent fat one
A mod little flat one
Maybe a hot one (to give me the clap!)
Maybe a freak who gets off with a strap

What will I say the next day to whatever I drag to my hotel tonight?
(What will I say the next day to whatever I drag to my hotel tonight?)
If things go right!
(If things go right!)

What will I say the next day to whatever I drag to my hotel tonight?

Will she be outa-site?

"A Nun Suit Painted on Some Old Boxes" – 1:08

Why don't you strap on this here bunch
Of cardboard boxes, daddy-o?
Joy of my desiring
You'll certainly look suave and get me hot
Hot, hot, get me hot and
Horny
(Ow!)
If there's one thing I really get off on
(Yay!)
It's a nun suit painted on some old boxes
Some old melodies
4/4
An aura
An areola
Pink gums
Stumpy gray teeth
Dental floss
Gets me hot
Wanna watch a dental hygiene movie


"Magic Fingers" – 3:53

Ooh, the way you love me, lady,
I get so hard now I could die
Ooh, the way you love me, sugar,
I get so hard now I could die

Open up your pocketbook,
Get another quarter out,
Drop it in the meter, mama
And try me on for size
Open up your pocketbook,
Get another quarter out,
Drop it in the meter, mama
And try me on for size

Ooh, the way you squeeze me, baby,
Red balloons just pop behind my eyes
Ooh, the way you squeeze me, girl,
Red balloons just pop behind my eyes

Open up your pocketbook,
Get another quarter out,
Drop it in the meter, mama
And try me on for size
Open up your pocketbook,
Get another quarter out,
Drop it in the meter, mama
And try me on for size

[Mark:]
Oh, do you really wanna please me?

[Howard:]
You know I do, baby

[Mark:]
Well, tell me why you do it
I really wanna know

[Howard:]
Oh, no, no, I wouldn't be right
For me to tell you tonight

[Mark:]
You better tell me right away
Or I pack up and go!

[Howard:]
Don't get mad
It ain't no big thing

[Mark:]
You better tell me right away,
Don't you treat me cold

[Howard:]
HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT!
Well, there are a lot of reasons why I'd . . . I'd drag a girl such as yourself back to this . . . plastic hotel room and . . . rip you off for spare change to run a . . . to run a vibrating machine attached to this queen-size, bulk-purchase, kapok-infested, do-not-remove-tag-under-penalty-of-law type bed and . . . and make you take off all your little clothes . . . until you are nearly STARK RAVING NUDE! (Save for your chrome-with-heavy-duty-leather-thong Peace Medallion, heh . . . ) And make you assume a series of marginally erotic poses involving . . . a plastic chair and . . . an old guitar strap while I . . . did a wee-wee in your hair and . . . beat you with a pair of tennis shoes . . . I got from Jeff Beck


"Motorhead's Midnight Ranch" – 1:28

Instrumental


"Dew on the Newts We Got" – 1:09

Dew
On the newts we got
Newt money dew
It's a payment on the rental for the dewy little
Newts we got
We got 'em dewy
Left 'em in the yard all night
Hope they didn't get uptight
The little vixens
The saucy little vixens
I hope they didn't get pissed off
I hope
That they did not
Did not
I hope
That they did not
Dash off
Into the night


"The Lad Searches the Night for His Newts" – 0:41

The lad searches the night for his newts


"The Girl Wants to Fix Him Some Broth" – 1:10

[Male Tenor:]
The girl wants to fix him some broth.

[Female Soprano:]
Tinselcock!

[Chorus:]
Doo-wee-oo
Tinselcock, my baby

[Female Soprano:]
Would you like some broth?

[Male Tenor:]
Some nice soup

[Female Soprano:]
Some hot broth?

[Male Tenor:]
Small dogs in it

[Male Tenor:]
You like broth?
Dog broth?

[Female Soprano:]
Hot broth?

[Male Tenor:]
You like dog broth hot?

[Female Soprano:]
Hot dogs debris

[Male Tenor:]
How do you like it?
Debris of the four styles offered
Debris broth breath
And the ever popular hygienic
European version
Tinselcock!

[Chorus:]
Tinselcock!

[Male Tenor:]
Which do you choose?


"The Girl's Dream" – 0:54

The girl, in a statement to the press, explains . . .


"Little Green Scratchy Sweaters & Corduroy Ponce" – 1:00

Broth reminds me of nuns
(Munch . . . kin)
I see them smashing with rulers
Disciplining munchkin cretins
(Munchkin cretins)
Tortured munchkins
(Munchkin cretins)
Tortured munchkins
Irish Catholic victims
Little green scratchy sweaters
(Sweaters)
Little green scratchy ones
(Courduroy ponce)
And courduroy ponce
Courduroy ponce
And green scratchy munchkin
Irish Catholic victims
(Munch-kins
Munch-a-kins)
Munchkins get me hot
Munchkins get me, get me hot

Hot!
Gets her real hot


"Strictly Genteel (The Finale)" – 11:08

[Strictly Genteel]

[Theodore Bikel:]
This, as you might have guessed, is the end of the movie. The entire cast is assembled here at the Centerville Recreational Facility to bid farewell to you, and to express thanks for your attendance at this theater. This might seem old fashioned to some of you, but I'd like to join in on this song. It's the kind of a sentimental song that you get at the end of a movie, it's the kind of a song that people might sing to let you in the audience know that we really like you and care about you, yeah . . . Understand how hard it is to laugh these days, with all the terrible problems in the world!

Lord, have mercy on the people in England
For the terrible food these people must eat
(Errrr . . . excuse me)
And may the Lord have mercy on the fate of this movie
And God bless the mind of the man in the street

Help all the rednecks and the flatfoot policemen
Through the terrible functions they all must perform
God help the winos, the junkies, and the weirdos
And every poor soul who's adrift in the storm.

Help everybody, so they all get some action
Some love on the weekend, some real satisfaction

[Phyllis Bryn-Julson:]
A room and a meal
And a garbage disposal
A lawn and a hose'll
Be strictly genteel

Reach out your hand to the girl in the dog book
The girl in the pig book, and the one with the horse
Make sure they keep all those businessmen happy
And the purple-lipped censors and the Germans of course

Help everybody, so they all get some action
Some love on the weekend, some real satisfaction

A Swedish apparatus
With a hood and a bludgeon
With a microwave oven
"Honey, how do it feel?"

Lord, have mercy on the hippies and faggots
And the dykes and the weird little children they grow

Help the black man
Help the poor man
Help the milk man
Help the door man
Help the lonely, neglected old farts that I know

[Theodore Bikel:]
It's been swell havin' you with us tonight, folks!

[Mark:]
But, don't leave the theater yet, 'cause there's still more to come, but before we go on, I want to introduce to you my friend and musical associate, Howard Kaylan, who's going to give us all a final closing benediction


[The Finale]

They're gonna clear out the studio
They're gonna tear down all the . . .
They're gonna whip down all the . . .
They're gonna sweep out all the . . .
They're gonna pay off all the . . .
(Oh, yeah!)

And then . . .
And then . . .
And then . . .
And then . . .

Hey hey hey, everybody in the orchestra and the chorus
Talkin' 'bout every one of our lovely and talented dancers
Talkin' 'bout the light bulb men
Camera men
The make-up men
(The fake-up men)
Yeah, the rake-up men
(Especially Herbie Cohen, yeah . . .)
They're all gonna rise up
They're gonna jump up
I said jump up
Talkin' 'bout jump right up and off the floor
Jump right up and hit the door
They're all gonna rise up and jump off!
They're gonna ride on home
They're gonna ride on home
They're gonna ride on home
They're gonna ride on home
And once again
Take themselves
Seriously, yeeeah!
Two, three, four, seriously
They're all gonna go home (ye-hey!)
Through the driving sleet and rain
They're all gonna go home
Through the fog, through the dust
Through the tropical fever and the blistering frost
They're all gonna go home
And get out of it as they can be, baby
And the same goes for me
(The same goes for me)
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!

And each and every member of this rock oriented comedy group in his own special way
Is gonna get out of it as he can be
We all gonna get wasted
We all gonna get twisted
We all gonna get wasted
We all gonna get twisted
And I am definitely gonna get . . .
REAMED
'Cause I'm such a lonely
I'm such a lonely
A lonely, lonely, talkin' 'bout a lonely guy!
Oh, and I know tonight, I am definitely . . .
I am positively . . .
I just have to get . . .
BENT, REAMED AND WASTED

[JCB:] A disaster area the size of Atlantic City, New Jersey!

[Howard:] He's making me do this, ladies and gentlemen. I wouldn't do it if it weren't for him. You noticed, all through this material, I've been glancing over toward my left? Well, I'll tell you the reason for that, ladies and gentlemen. HE is over there. HE is over on the left. HE is the guy that is making me do all this shit. Right over there. Now all through this movie, every time we've been on stage, I've had to look over in that direction, right? You saw it . . . you know. Well that's 'cause HE's over there. I've got to watch him for signs. He jumps up and down like a jackass. I can't even believe the guy sometimes. But we gotta watch him. "After all," we said, "it's Frank's movie." Now, we're THE MOTHERS, but it's still Frank's movie. Let's say it, he got to paid for it, he rented the studio, had all these cheesy sets built . . . it's so moche! I can't even stand it . . . He's telling everybody, right now, right over there, to . . .

Reediciones


El álbum no fue lanzado en disco compacto hasta 1997, como resultado de un acuerdo de licencia entre Rykodisc (en ese momento el licenciatario de todos los otros álbumes de Zappa de Zappa Family Trust (ZFT), que sumaban más de 60 títulos) y MGM que les permitió relanzar numerosas bandas sonoras de películas musicales raras en CD. Con la adición de este título, Ryko finalmente pudo ofrecer el catálogo completo de grabaciones oficiales de Zappa, ya que numerosos procedimientos legales tanto durante la vida de Zappa como después no cedieron la propiedad de los derechos y cintas a ZFT. Esa edición de 2 CD, ahora agotada, contenía extensas notas y obras de arte, así como un pequeño póster para la película, así como bonus tracks que consistían en promociones de radio para la película y la edición para un sencillo de la canción "Magic Fingers"
