Il 4 dicembre 1993 moriva il geniale Frank Zappa. In suo ricordo vi posto la canzone Montana, con il testo ed il video.
Frank Vincent Zappa (Baltimora, 21 dicembre 1940 – Los Angeles, 4 dicembre 1993), è stato un artista straordinario.
Cantante, compositore, chitarrista, polistrumentista, Zappa aveva una genialità incredibile. La sua musica spaziava tra vari generi, dal rock al jazz, al blues, alla fusion, con richiami alla classica ed al cabaret.
Molti ritengono che la sua musica sia difficile da ascoltare, ma in realtà è talmente proiettata nel futuro che forse verrà capita tra un decennio.
Montana è un brano del musicista statunitense Frank Zappa che compare per la prima volta nel suo album in studio Over-Nite Sensation, pubblicato dalla DiscReet Records nel settembre del 1973. (fonte Wikipedia)
Testo: Frank Zappa – Montana
I might be movin’ to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss
Raisin’ it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown
By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss,
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Well I just might grow me some bees
But I’d leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand Iwould
Keep the wax
N’ melt it down
Pluck some Floss
N’ swish it aroun’
I’d have me a crop
An’ it’d be on top (that’s why I’m movin’ to Montana)
Movin’ to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin’ to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
I’m pluckin’ the ol’
Dennil Floss
That’s growin’ on the prairie
Pluckin’ the floss!
I plucked all day an’ all nite an’ all
Afternoon . . .
I’m ridin’ a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He’s a good hoss
Even though
He’s a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He’s a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way
I’m pluckin’ the ol’
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don’t care if you think it’s silly, folks
I don’t care if you think it’s silly, folks
I’m gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An’ ride him all along the border line
With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn’t
Have no boss,
But I’d be raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin’ my lonely
Dental Floss
Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin’
In the moon-lighty night
And then I’d
Get a cuppa cawfee
N’ give my foot a push . . .
Just me ‘n the pygmy pony
Over the Dennil Floss Bush
N’ then I might just
Jump back on
An’ ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin’ to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
