Fido Plays Zappa Live On The Dental Floss DVD Review by Gary Hill So, you don’t think humor belongs in music? Then shut this thing off. OK, what have we got here? Well, this is a Swiss group performing Frank Zappa songs. Why should we care? Well, first off because they sound great. They manage to capture the spirit and music of Frank Zappa while still making this their own. The DVD is entertaining and tasty. They give us jazz band treatments of a bunch of Zappa classics that are sure to please pretty much any fan of FZ. The thing that got me at first were the captions showing the lyrics. That is until I noticed the humor involved in those – especially the longer the show went on. This is highly recommended to all Zappa fans.
