Does humor belong in music? (Frank Zappa 1986)

[Fritz The Cat]

Humor or blasphemy? Would this kind of front cover art be "correct" today? Why not? A question of time?

Listen to the jazzy "La Sopa" A5: a wonderful sax solo by Stan Bronstein, followed by a witty bass solo by Gary VanScyoc.
These musicians were the backup band of John Lennon and Yoko Ono: tongue in cheek music...
P.S.: It's not only rock'nroll, but i like it!

My body the car. At the end of this a cappella song there's a sharp short crash!

Pete Townsend produced, played and (???) had composed (as "Asher") this funny little song for Angela Porter.

It is not called cats. It is called Bats! Punk-Humor aus Österreich. Ein Gutes Neues Jahr an unsere Nachbarn.

What marvellous song title A8: "I'm looking for a saxophonist doubling French horn wearing size 37 boots". Art Wood is also a humorist as his brother Ron is"!

Delightful fairy tale. "In December 1969 Jazz Sabbath, London's most successful underground jazz trio, were recording their second album at Morgan Sound Studios. With their debut album scheduled to be released in February 1970 and their sophomore album well on its way, Jazz Sabbaths future was looking bright...." (Liner notes you have to take seriously)
Adam Wakeman and his congenial Jazz rogues (only mentioned by fictional names). Listen to the fantastic guitar solos!

Some violins and a nasty children's choir: 80ies' "Neue Deutsche Welle" goes Vivaldi. Or Mozart? Forget the lyrics! Hauptsache: macht Spass!

The worst of JA? Or the crown of creation?

I agree that each genre should stay within its boundaries. This preserves its uniqueness. But still, music is not clowning. It is a strict discipline. You don't have to make a circus out of everything to entertain listeners. Hard-to-digest compositions make you listen carefully and analyze them. Draw your conclusions.

Well, now go and tell exactly this one to all those new-fashioned female artists that act like pole dancers but have meaningless voices and are singing also meaningless music.

Best regards!
