On 200 years old-
on the bootleg of 'An Evening With Frank Zappa And Captain Beefheart' that I have, just before playing the unedited version of 200 years old and after Muffin Man, FZ says
"... and it's a bicentennial song, its a song that deals with the celebration of our country's 200th anniversary, and I figured that it was time that I did a song about our country's 200th anniversary, I've done several since this, uh (Captain Beefheart: Amen!) which, which will be revealed a little bit later, this is the first of my bicentennial tunes.
CB: Amen. Is this dedicated to any particular... is this for Concord[?] and Lexington[?] ?
FZ: No, this is for anybody who's managed to live through the last two hundred years.
CB: Amen again. This is called 200 years old and it's uhh, its from later this year.
No idea who the two names Don mentions are.
The voices on Cucamonga the first time round say 'Yoo-hoo-hoo yoo-hoo yoo!' according to http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/lyrics/Bongo_Fury.html#Cucamonga
and the rest sound like Napoleon Murphy Brock scatting, which I heard him do in some other bootleg or something that I forget. |
