Frank Zappa Texas Motel Medley 1988 (Beatles parody)

Audio transcoded by Dirpy.com on 06/11/10 from YT QOMA9I_3lW8 (128kbps MP3) Titled the "Texas Motel Medley", this is a series of Beatles parodies that Frank Zappa played live during his 1988 tour. They were intended to mock the Jimmy Swaggart sex scandal. As such, Zappa's lyrics contain some sexual language. I happened to find and upload a version labeled as being from the March 17th Binghamton show, so the album is labeled "1988.03.17 - Binghamton" Artist: "Frank Zappa" Date: "1988" Genre: "Comedy Rock" Medley of: Norwegian Jim (Norwegian Wood parody) Louisiana Hooker With Herpes (Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds parody) Texas Motel (Strawberry Fields Forever parody) The instrumental portion seems relatively unaltered from the originals Composer: "John Lennon; Paul McCartney; Frank Zappa"

You're welcome.
I though there was something uniquely Dr. Demento-ish and more specifically Zappa-ish about this.
Zappa's work had quite a range to it; this illustrated a few components of that but is still only a small piece.

Especially in retrospect, Zappa does seem like the type of musician who would give The Beatles ironic treatment.
(I myself had thought of something kinda similar with a particular Beatles-related remix/mashup idea)

Of course Frank would fry the Beatles, the (then) ultimate product placement band, rich, happy, and taking all the credit, where Frank and the gang are stuck in a hole in the wall, composing masterpieces but seen as a (collective) dirty-winged Icarus, you feel me?

Yeah, Zappa was one of those classic artists who didn't get the respect he deserved.
So, angst at the mainstream (even really good mainstream like The Beatles) is somewhat understandable.
