And speaking of guitars…

My guitar wants to kill your mama. No, just kidding. That’s just an old Frank Zappa song.



And now Berlin is honoring him by naming a street in Marzahn-Hellersdorf after him. They are going to call it: Frank Zappa Straße. Not necessarily for that song, but still. And whoever said that brown shoes don’t make it? He did, of course. And it kinda goes like this:

Brown shoes don't make it
Brown shoes don't make it
Quit school, why fake it?
Brown shoes don't make it?
TV dinner by the pool
Watch your brother grow a beard
Got another year of school
You're OK, he's too weird
Be a plumber He's a bummer
He's a bummer every summer
Be a loyal plastic robot
For a world that doesn't care
Smile at every ugly
Shine on your shoes and cut your hair
Be a jerk and go to work Be a jerk and go to work
Be a jerk and go to work Be a jerk and go to work
Do your job, and do it right
Life's a ball! (TV tonight!)
Do you love it, do you hate it?
There it is, the way you made it (WOOOooow)

Talk about your overnight sensation.

Kommentare auf Deutsch? Logisch.

PS: Woah Joe! Excellent Zappa link. I'm speachless. For once. Don't tell anyone, but I was a Monkees fan, too. If you can put those two together. I can't.

3 - That's "schuettel." The system obviously doesn't like my umlauts and it truncated my first attempt. Sorry about all this. (Comment this)

4 - zasius, not the problem. Making a comment here can be a little user unfriendly at times, I have to apologize. Keep trying though. <;-) (Comment this)
