This 1982 Zappa album has some cool stuff. It's probably best known for the song "Valley Girl," which features his daughter Moon Unit on spoken vocals. It should be noted that I previously reviewed that tune for a compilation album review, and the review here is adapted from that one for the sake of consistency. That cut is part of the first half of the disc, which contains the three studio tracks. The second half is made up of three live songs. It should be noted that this one of the Zappa albums that includes Steve Vai on guitar. This has some particularly odd stuff, but also some powerful and rather amazing, too.

A bit funky and so cool, this thing has a real tongue-in-cheek vibe to it, largely from the falsetto vocals. The whole tune has such a cool groove. It is a lot of fun, too. There is a real driving energy here. The bass line is so tasty. The multiple layers of vocals bring so much to the piece, too.
