Dagens Zappa er – apropos min snak om piske (og der er, for absolut ingen har meldt sig, stadig få, ledige tider) – “Penguin in Bondage” fra CDen “Roxy & Elsewhere”. Her fremført af et Frank Zappa tribute-band, The Central Scrutinizer Band, juli 2007:
“Penguin in Bondage” er en sang om glæden ved bondage. Selvfølgelig. Ben Watson sammenligner i sin “The Complete Guide To His Music” “Penguin” med Velvet Undergrounds “Venus In Furs” — og skriver: “If Zappa fans are called upon to demonstrate his particular virtues, they can do no better than to compare his ode to sadomasochism, “Penguin in Bondage”, to “Venus In Furs” by The Velvet Underground. Lou Reed’s song is a list of arid clichés, while Zappa conjures up a hitherto-unattested scenario reeking with bizarre proclivities and still-more-bizarre phobias.”
Her er “Venus In Furs”:
