King Kong [Road Tapes Venue #1]

Frank Zappa

FZ:

We would like to play for you "The Legend Of King Kong."

Story about a large, electric gorilla marooned— marooned on an island somewhere in the middle of the ocean, leading a happy, banana-fed existence, until one day some very shrewd Americans discover that he's happening on a cosmic giant gorilla level on the island, and they figure that—seeing as how they're smart, and shrewd, and American businessmen, you know, unequaled in the world of creative finance, you know how they are—they're gonna get themselves together on a boat and go to the place where the gorilla is and they're gonna snatch him right up

So they do, they go out there and they catch the gorilla—who is obviously not very thrilled about it—and they knock him out, stick him on the boat, bring him back to the United States, make a lot of money off of him, then they kill him

The gong, symbolic of all that is jungly and smells of gorilla

Lewd, pulsating jungle rhythms!

Hot sweaty thrills among bizarre flora and fauna

We'd like to thank you very much for coming down here tonight. Surprised to see that you appear to like what we do. That's nice. It's been wonderful working for you. Good night!

Announcer:

The Mothers Of Invention, thank you!
