'...' I'm In The Music Business' and this is Frank Zappa being a fraudulent disk jockey on BBC 1 and the next thing your going to hear is a song that my children really like, it's called 'Straight Lines'.....'

"..by 'New Music' "

"...on this particular radio station and that is segway one record into another buy I think it is appropriate to make this segway because these are two of my very favorite records and I think they should be heard as a pair. The first is 'The Closer You Are' by the Channels and this will lead directly into 'Hyperprisms' by Edgar Varesse"

plays record: 'The closer you are doo di ooo,,,'

'... the brighter the stars in the sky,

And darling, I realize you're the one I live my life for.



My heart skips a beat doo di ooo every time you and I meet doo di ooo my life, my love, my dear.

I cant defeat that yearning deep in my heart to have only you.



When I first saw you, I did adore you any others beware,

And then you went away but now your back to stay,

And my love for you grows stronger every day.



The closer you are doo di ooo the brighter the flames in my heart doo di ooo,

And darling, well never part, well always be in love.

And then you went away but now your back to stay,

Sex & Destiny liner notes

"THE COVER

Contradiction. Painting a woman in madness. Living in a body that is not nurtured, but a body that is responsible to nurture. The body that creates life but cannot control the fate of that creation.

Sue Cole 1984"

FZ: "....Varese was a really cool guy. The only thing that he did that was wrong was that he stopped composing for 25 years because people gave him a bad time. If people wouldn't have given him a bad time he could have been writing for 25 more years and there would be 25 more years of stuff like that for people who like that kind of stuff. But most people don't so this is 'Jesus Just Left Chicago' by ZZ Top"

plays record......

This was a great show. I taped it in 1980 and still love it. I particularly like FZ comment during the rumbling part in Iron Man by Black Sabbath. BS was very unfashionable here in the UK in Jan 1980.

If you have more taped FZ shows or interviews let us know. I have an Interview with BBC radio 1s Nicky Campbell and a few other bits and pieces

plays record...... "Jesus just left Chicago

And He's bound for New Orleans.....

.....Workin' from one end to the other

And all points in between......

Took a jump through Mississippi

Well, muddy water turned to wine.......

Then I out to California through the forests and the pines

Oh, take me with You, Jesus......

You might not see him in person

But h**l see you just the same

You don't have to worry

'Cause takin' care of business is his name "

"Those little golden birdies, look at them

And the mystic Egypt tossle dangling down

Old sleeper-man shish, don't wake him

Up one hand broom star was an obi-man

Revered throughout the bone-knob land

His magic black purse slit creeped open

Let go flocks of them

Shish sookie singabus

Snored like a red merry-go-round horse

And an acid gold bar swirled up and down

Up and down, in back of the singabus

And the pantaloon duck, white goose neck, quacked

Webcore, webcore.".....

FZ "Well, you know what that means. And It's time... Oh that was Captain Beefheart in case you didn't know and prior to that was err ZZTop with 'Jesus Just Left Chicago and I don't know whether they play very much of err ZZTop kind of music in this country. Seems a little bit too robust for the countryside from what I've been able to detect. But if you go for that kind of stuff I recommend a song called The Mexican Blackbird on one of their other albums" aside "Have you heard that one? Oh there's a good line in there. You should check out The Mexican Blackbird. Now we have 'I Live In A Car' by The UK Subs"

(SEGWAY) plays 'Soul Motion' by Sugar Cane Harris.

FZ: "This is radio one and this is Frank Zappa and this is the best radio show you've ever heard in you're life and of course what wonderful radio show would be complete without a performance by Don Harris on violin and a bunch of guys in the background that you can just barely hear playing trombones and saxophones and stuff that I never knew was there until I put these earphones on (aside) can you hear it?

That is the weirdest mix I've ever heard in my life. They're in there. They must have spent another twenty five dollars to hire those guys and you can barely hear them. Anyway, that was called 'Soul Motion' and before that you heard 'I Live In A Car' by The UK Subs and in case you didn't know I chose all of these records because I like these songs for various err reasons and the next one...we're going to play two in a row again because these things should be heard together. This is 'All Tomorrow's Parties' by The Velvet Underground followed by the 'Royal March' from 'Lhistoire Du Soldat' by Egor Stravinsky. Take it away"

"And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties

A hand-me-down dress from who knows where

To all tomorrow's parties



And where will she go and what shall she do

When midnight comes around

She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown

And cry behind the door



And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties

Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns

To all tomorrow's parties



And what will she do with Thursday's rags

When Monday comes around

She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown

And cry behind the door



And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties

For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown

For whom none will go mourning



A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown

Of rags and silks, a costume

Fit for one who sits and cries

For all tomorrow's parties"

I never used to cry 'cause I was all alone

For me, myself and I is all I've ever known

I never felt the need to have a hand to hold

In everything I do I take complete control

That's where I'm coming from

My Lucky Number's one



I've everthing I need to keep me satisfied

There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind

I'm having so much fun

My Lucky Number's one

Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh! 



aie aie aie aie aie aie

I now detect an alien vibration here

There's something in the air besides the atmosphere

The object of the action is becoming clear

An imminent attack upon my heart I fear

The evidence is strong

My Lucky Number's rung

Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh! '

FZ: "And that was Lene Lovich with 'Luck Number' and before that you heard 'Iron Man' by Black Sabbath and now it's time for 'The Eurika Springs Garbage Lady' by The GTO's
