butchered lyrics on nanook:
swooped down [scooped down]
dog doo doo snowcone [dog do snowcone]

nothing against the few slightly 'foriegn' pronunciations, that was probably the best part[/color]

I've listened to Wowie Zowie three times so far, and haven't made it through without crying yet. The song is perfect. I am so happy just with this one song, it is easily worth the album price!!!! Any Zappa fan is gonna love it, but so should the rest of the world. I just played wowie zowie over the phone to my friend Amy in Oklahoma, and her three year old son got very excited, and kept saying "baby singing, baby singing!!!!". IMHO this song deserves to be not only a single, but on the radio, Number one...with a bullet! Thank you Gail, Thank you Joe, Thank you Moon, and really big Thank you Mathilda! Happy Birthday Frank...Merry Christmas to the growing Zappa tribe, will love you guys forever! Thanks for this delicious holiday nugget!!! Oh, yeah... the rest of the album is well on its way to bein severly fabulous...at last these guys may have figured out a way to get their cruddy music on the radio. Can't wait to hear whats next from the bottomless vault, but I now know for sure what the number one song of the year is in my book.

Or what about Frank himself on "Honey, Don't You Want A Man Like Me?" on the Buffalo release? He trips, stumbles, fumbles, all-but-trainwrecks the lyrics on that one. He's the one who wrote the tune in the first place. If Serj is slammed for saying "doo doo" instead of "doo", surely we must chastise Frank for fumbling "Honey" so badly...

Incidentally, that is why I rated "Honey" 2/5 stars in my iTunes rating. It was funny to hear and when I hear it the album all the way through, I'll listen to it - but otherwise, I want to remember "not to come back" to that version if I have the choice.

Well, if you want to get particular, Frank was doing the song live, and this Serj guy probably had more than one take to get it right.

But I'm not going to put anything down.

Good point, Cal. Then how about Frank's mess-up on the dialog of "Muffin Man" or his narration as the Central Scrutinizer.

He's supposed to be perfect?

if anyone wants some good artistic integrity poetry seek the path to these clues.

Clue number one. DIVAN by FZ. Clue Number Two "LeFrak City" Poetic Conceptual Continuity by FZ. Clue Number Three ......

"May you never hear vloerbedekking again!"

Good point, Cal. Then how about Frank's mess-up on the dialog of "Muffin Man" or his narration as the Central Scrutinizer.

yea, live vs studio, and my inclination is to cut frank a bit of slack on live material, especially the stuff he didn't release himself

the muffin man & the scrutinizer fuckups were intentional or we never woulda known

serjie's couple of fuckup's are minor compared to the missing lines[/color]

Did someone else notice that this review and the majority of ZPZ concert reviews here are all written in the same writing and typing style?

It IS Trendmonger - this review is linked in his page at Dweezil's World. By the name of Gary Titone.

… It IS Trendmonger …

Ha - god no! I'm just fine with both FZ and Serj "messing up".

The faults of a master are divine, while the mistakes of an apprentice are inexcusable!

I had Itune, i downloaded again & still cant get the this Bundle.
Do i need to delete Itune before re installing??

When it comes to putting on the Sherlock Holmes detective hat time and time again I have seen so many forum members fail in that regard.

I pledge an oath! Where one man might say, On a stack of bibles, I ponder the thought of placing my hand on my FZ collection. Some might get a laugh but in all sincerity I was not involved in that review nor have I read any reviews out at the ITunes domain. I did find what was supposedly copied and pasted here interesting.

Wow. You really believe that?

Well, yeah, in the sense that I do enjoy all the Zappa "mistakes" that you have mentioned, because they are 100% aafnraa Zappa, while I have little tolerance for the blunders of wannabe cover artists. HDYWAMLM Buffalo? Hilarious, comic relief, a glimpse into Zappa's (malfunctioning) thought process at one particular moment in time. This is just as enjoyable to me these days as the "flawless" track on ZINY. Not to mention your other examples, which Frank actually preferred to perfect tracks, undoubtedly because they contributed to the famous "cheap college play effect"

I once thought that System Of A Down were a promising band. But I was wrong. They didn't develop.

I once thought that Serj T. was right to start a solo career, because SOAD didn't develop. I was wrong again. He didn't develop either.
