Gestern Friederike Mayröcker, heute Frank Zappa, musikalisches Genie. 82 Jahre würde er heuer alt, leider starb er vor 29 Jahren.
Zeit seines Lebens hat er gegen den American Way Of Life, den American Dream, angesungen und -gespielt.
H. erlebte ihn mit seiner Band einmal, am 9. Mai 1988 in der Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle (heute "Audi Dome"). Die detaillierte Setlist des über zweistündigen Konzerts können Sie unter dem Video einsehen.Vielleicht gibt es ein, zwei Leser:innen, die Zappa mögen, ja?
Lied Nr. 1 ist "Stinkfoot". Text siehe unten, leider keine Zeit für eine Übersetzung.
Stinkfoot
In the darkWhere all the fevers growUnder the waterWhere the shark bubbles blowIn the mornin'By yer radioDo the walls close in to suffocate youYou ain't got no friendsAnd all the others: they hate youDoes the life you've been leadin' gotta go?Well, lemme straighten you outAbout a place I know(Now, get yer shoes and socks on peopleBecause it's right aroun' the corner!)You go out through the nightAnd the whispering breezesTo the place where they keepThe imaginary diseasesOut through the nightAn' the whispering breezesTo the place where they keepThe imaginary diseases
Now scientists call this miserable little diseasePodobromidrosis and well, they should!But us regular folksWho might wear a tennis shoeOr an occasional python bootKnow this exquisite little inconvenience by the name ofStink FootThat's right!You know, my python boot was too tightCouldn't get it off last nightWeek went by, now it's JulyI finally got it offAnd my girl-friend cry"You've got Stink Foot!Stink Foot, darlin'Your stinkin' foot puts the hurts on my nose!Stink Foot! Stink Foot! I ain't lyin'Can you rinse it off, do you suppose?"Well, Here Fido, Here FidoBring the slippers, little puppyYes, that's a good dogBring them over to Jimmy Swaggart, that's rightHe'll do anything for a good timeSick!
Well, Ike Willis, ladies and gentlemen, Mike KeneallyWalt Fowler, Bruce Fowler, Paul Carman, Albert WingKurt McGettrick, Chad Wackerman, now this is a special caseLadies and gentlemen, get that spot light over here, this is Ed MannNow, Ed had a tragic experience a few moments agoOne of the loyal fans in the audience came up and treated him like a war criminalBecause he fucked up the lick on "Dickie's such an asshole" way backWhen, who knows?-several weeks agoBut The people who come to these shows listen so carefully to every Little detailThat this man was deeply offended by Ed's performanceSo to make sure that he gets his money's worth tonightWe're gonna dwell on it for a few moments nowAnd have Ed actually practiceKinda warm up for that big lick that happens in "Dickie's such an asshole"We're gonna rehearse it right nowReady? Just do it as a solo, here we goOr, or the way we did it that nightWhich of course was completely wrongThis is how it wentOr
Ich sehe es eben erst.
