That was the first compilation album I ever had as a little kid. 😀I just took a thirteen hour drive cross country with two Baby Boomers. We listened to the 50's station on XM for the entire trip and now I can't get this song out of my head:
A 1000 miles from nowhere! I obtained about 1/2 dozen of DY cassettes
Mongrelshomage to the storm drain diving dindu
I still have a battered vinyl copy of The Mother's of Invention “We’re Only In It For The Money”. Definitely has the weirdness dialled up to 11. Lol I still remember my friends and I listening to “The Idiot Bastard Son”, “Flower Punk” etc.. and just desperately trying to make sense of that record.Today, its a Zappa day. Frank Zappa grew up listening to doo-wop in the 1950s. The band, The Mothers of Invention, was in the studio in 1968 and were taking a break and somebody said they missed the old music. So Zappa penned a bunch of doo-wop songs. They did not want to ruin their current image, so the album was recorded and released as Ruben & the Jets
There are several versions of this song, but this is one of my favorites, Love of My Life, its from the Tinseltown Rebellion album. There is a guy singing like a falsetto, Ed Harris and he really singing it, and its in his normal voice !
