Very few people do covers of my tunes.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
I ain't the type for begging, I am not the type to plead. If she don't change those evil ways, I'm gonna make her bleed.
Frank Zappa
Why doncha come on over to the house and I'll show 'em to ya?
Frank Zappa
Elmore James only knew one lick, but you had the feeling that he meant it.

Frank Zappa
Let's not be too rough on our own ignorance, it's what makes America great.
Frank Zappa
Music is the only religion that delivers the goods.
Frank Zappa
There is no such thing as a dirty word. Nor is there a word so powerful, that it's going to send the listener to the lake of fire upon hearing it.
Frank Zappa
Don't mind your make-up, you'd better make your mind up.
Frank Zappa
Nobody gives a crap if we're great musicians.
Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa
Modern Americans behave as if intelligence were some sort of hideous deformity.
Frank Zappa
A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.
Frank Zappa
I knew Jimi (Hendrix) and I think that the best thing you could say about Jimi was: there was a person who shouldn't use drugs.
Frank Zappa
As far as rearing children goes, the basic idea I try to keep in mind is that a child is a person. Just because they happen to be a little shorter than you doesn't mean they are dumber than you.
Frank Zappa
Music is always a commentary on society.
Frank Zappa
Mama stroked his dinger, Daddy got stinky finger.
