Frankly, if you ended up with such a life as a child, because of your parents, it’s not your fault, since the brains of children before puberty are meant to believe and trust their parents. It’s for efficiency reasons. You can’t check everything for yourself, can you? This is also partially true for schools.
So in those cases, they are to blame, because you hadn’t developed an own sense of right and wrong yet.
Since Zappa was himself a parent, I suspect he knew that babies and young children are not expected to discriminate about what to believe without some guidance…
I presume he meant that, *once you are able to discriminate*, it’s your own fault if you carry on believing other people’s sh!t.
In the same vein, he also said:
“If your children ever find out how _lame_ you really are, they’ll murder you in your sleep” (1965. Before he was a parent. His kids didn’t kill him – it was the Big C that did that – so presumably he wasn’t so lame. Or if he was, then Dweezil, Moon Unit et al never found out.)
The Youtube sreenshot shows Dutch subtitles. And they are pretty weird. Something like “You pulled the chain Jimmy was wearing through his nipples” I haven’t seen the vid, but, WTF???!
It’s not weird when that is actually what Zappa says. This guy is whack, he actually said the “firmly erected nipples of Jimmy” but that was too long for the subs. i’m dutch and my dogs called Zappa after this hero but thats none of your god damn business!
because its from a live show and its shown on dutch tv. the lyrics are very important…haha also, he had far more success in europe throughout his career. bobby brown was HUGE in germany and scandanavia. as was the album this tune originally appeared on (sheik Yerbouti)
Cause the dutch are almost the only non-english speaking country in europe that doesnt dub all their programs. Dont know bout the scandinavian countries though.
…and if you end up with a boring miserable life because you NEVER listened to anybody else who had a greater knowledge and experience base than you did, and offered you free advice on how to do yout s**t…

Sadly, most people apparently never do.
jesus…way to take it too seriously. haha
good to see some zappa on here! life long fan of zappa. obsession maybe! but this site just went well up in my estimation having seen this!
Seriously? I’d rather call it accurately and honestly. Is it wrong to be those things now?
tl;dr

Norway doesn’t dub either, with the exception of kid shows.
Go Zappa, the greatest music troll of all times!

You probably deserved THAT, too.
