@Frankincensedjb123 2 года назад

This is what I call Frank's anthropological/troll stage (he released Joe's Garage the same year, kind of the companion piece to Sheik). This album wasn't so much about the music but the commentary. He thinks romantic songs suck or that "broken hearts are for assholes," that dumb/cute people are not only annoying but need to be put in their place, that a "Jewish Princess" and even "Yo mama" need to be studied and commented on. Frank loved entertaining and being entertained, so if there's wasn't anyone around to do it, he did it, thus this very entertaining album, one that poked and prodded you to think about your own prejudices and biases and maybe even to get you pissed off enough to take a deeper look at all the bullshit going on around you. Great stuff.

@Peter-K 2 года назад

This album and Joe's Garage were his middle finger to the record industry. All the anger and frustration poured out in scathing lyrics and hard driving music...I always considered Sheik to be his angriest album since We're Only In It For The Money.

@jayburdification 2 года назад

As far as I’m concerned, FZ gets a pass on all of the social controversy, both past and present. It’s brutally honest satirical commentary and something he took more seriously than people think. It wasn’t all just to take the piss and get a rise out of people, although that was definitely big part of it. As Laraine Newman said in his defense at the time, “It’s not only funny, it’s dead-on. Such creatures do exist.” Or something to that effect.

I totally love this entire album. Frank always knew how to poke and prod people with his lyrics and amazing musical talent. When I was growing up this and Joe's garage where my two favorite albums by Frank Zappa. This was before I discovered his earlier stuff and then was totally blown away. I was in high school during the 1980s so I may be a little bit younger than some of the folks that grew up during his earlier career.

The ADL (Anti defamation League) filed a protest with the FCC to have the album banned from airplay, which is funny since frank didn't get any airplay in the US. and only resulted in increased sales of the album.

Thanks Wayne! Can you make more requests from this album. Franks all time most popular album. Stocked with all time Zappa hits. A few organic technical genius tunes, but the rest top 40 level grooving hard rock, metal, blues, all mixed in, including city of tiny lights, I'm so cute. Broken hearts are for a**oles. Jones crusher! Rat tomago, etc. Dancing fool made it on NY WABC AM radio during Long island rush hour 1978! . We need more requests to complete this album. Its a whole other Zappa popular sounding universe with less Frank subversions, but enough in there to make it the perfect Zappa album. It competes with overnight sensation, Apostrophe, one size fits all, but with a more expanded Frank down and dirty, grooving, hard rock/pop, filthy lyrical style, with the best drummer for these styles!

For this song, published on the album Sheik Yerbouti (Feb 1979), Zappa received the accusation of anti-semitism. On the following album Joes Garage Act I (Sep 1979) he answered this criticism musically with the funny song "Catholic Girls". In the last part of this song, the lead melody of Jewish Princess is overdubbed. Have fun, you both!

@davidbonner4556 2 года назад

A comment about all the Lone Ranger references ("Hi-yo Silver!")... When on the road they would see something on TV or in the news that would trigger a sense of humor, and Zappa would OK certain songs during a show for the band to riff on verbally.
