This one's for you Vic:
"Many the camper wants to buy some white -- !"
Alright- at first I thought this was from "Apostrophe" but I looked at the liner notes and no such line. My guess it is from either "Zoot Alures" or "Over Night Sensation" but can't remember which. I know they repeat it often during the chorus.
edit - I searched it, can't believe I couldn't remember. Black Napkin is one of my favorites!
My first Zappa album, and my second favourite to date (I don't yet have them all, but I do like Hot Rats better).
OK Grobe, now I have one for you. In Zappa's "Sheik Yerbouti" there is
a free form bass and drum solo that is famous because...
I had to look it up, and I'm still not certain, but I suspect you're refering to this innovation:

Incidentally, Bobby Brown Goes Down is a brilliant song off of that album.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain...
here's one of my faves, "Go down gamblin'"
James Taylor.
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know You realize that life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realize the sun doesn't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
you got it, xenochrony! I posted Bobby Brown earlier in this post.
Here's one from a classic rock anthem. One hint - Army members know it.
Twelve oclock, I gotta rock Theres a truck ahead, lights starin at my eyes Oh my god, no time to turn I got to laugh cause I know Im gonna die ...Why
I can't believe no body came up with this one. Ok, I'll add another hint.
Army members know it. An Ace plays it.
I didn't even see that one first time around -- Detroit Rock City by Kiss.
"I don't believe illusion, cuz too much is for real"
"no use in me complainin
my objection's overruled"
Okay, one that I virtually guarantee no one will get (which is tragic, since it was one of the best songs of 1978--but it's only available on vinyl):
all your families were so worried
when you said you had to change
all of you grew up to be someone
and none of you were strange
Solutions to my earlier ones:
22nd Psalm--"Hang On To Your Life" by The Guess Who
"what happened to our heroes"--"Woe is Me" by Joan Jett
Breathe deep the gathering gloom,Watch lights fade from every room.Bedsitter people look back and lament,Another day's useless energy spent.Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,Lonely man cries for love and has none.New mother picks up and suckles her son,Senior citizens wish they were young.
The finale of Days of Future Passed (at the end of "Nights In White Satin").
How can you say that you're not responsible
What does it have to do with me?
What's my reaction, what should it be -
Confronted by this latest atrocity.
...
Hide my head in my hands, shame wells in my throat
Our comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
It seems that when some innocents die,
all we can offer them is a page in some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food -
this is what we've seen.
"Driven To Tears"--Police (my favorite song from Zenyatta Mondatta)
"they hate you if your clever and they despise the fool/make you so f****** crazy you can't follow their rules."
never a truer word penned
"Working Class Hero" by John Lennon (if I remember right)
"Little old lady got mutilated late last night"
Ah-ooh...Werewolves of London!!!
Move me on to any black square, Use me any time you want, Just remember that the goal 'Sfor us to capture all we want
"Your Move"
your friends with their fancy persuading
won't admit that it's part of their scheme
but I can't help but have my suspicions
cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day
I took myself a blue canoe
and I floated like a leaf
dazzling dancing half-enchanted
in my Merlin sleep
This song was written by a guy who later became friends with Bernie Taupin, who would co-write songs with Elton John on a regular basis. (see above lyrics)
Mommy where's daddy? He's been gone for so long. Do you think he'll ever come home? I was gone for fourteen days I coulda been gone for more Held up in the intensive care ward lyin on the floor I was gone for all those days but I, was not all alone I made friends with a lot of people in the danger zone See my lonely life unfold I see it every day See my only mind explode Since I've gone away I think I lost some weight there and I--- I'm sure I need some rest Sleepin don't come very easy in a straight white vest Should like to see that little children She's only four years old--- old I'd give her back all of her play things even, even the ones I stole
