Thanks Matt. That's the version featured in the transcription I'd posted.

If you're surprised by TB, I'm betting you guys have never seen Zappa's Baby Snakes Vid with TB singing, acting the role of the devil, all while playing truly sick stuff in just a red Speedo.

hey Vdrummer, how is that DVD?

I was totally blown away by the first and second song.. but I couldnt take it after the claymation... and seemed to be going for ever. I was skipping through stuff, then I saw the dude with the fro doing something with an apparently sexually aroused gas mask... which totaly wierded me out so i never went back to it again? haha

I enjoyed the one with Wackerman playing alot though! That would be the "does humor belong in music " DVD.

Thanks, Henry.

I don't have the DVD, but I've seen it. My take on Zappa is the same as Steve Allen's was when Zappa came on his show and played a bicycle. I don't dig theater comedy rock, but Bozzio is entertaining.

W o w , I have less standards for dated stuff but the bass player on that video clip was HORRIBLE. Terry sounded good, very cool groove.

patrick o'hearn (i believe) on bass fpr that track . . . he played keyboard bass for most of the show. i think all the hairspray might have gotten to his head . . . either that or its hard to pay attention to those annoying details like timing when Dale Bozzio is wearing tiny-tin-foil titty-covers!

Yeah, Patrick didn't usually sound that bad--wasn't he also a Zappa alumnus? I agree though, he's blowing it on that video. Bad day? Bad hair spray? Who knows.

Thank you so much to the people who helped out and shared the useful info. I can't express enough how nice it is to have the community of drummers willing extend positivity and knowledge. But, on a side note, to the responses of a few, if I had the extra time to sit down and transcribe it, I would. I teach and transcribe for a living. Being slow at transcribing and spreading my time thin as it is, is what brings me to the point of trying to get a little help. I appreciate your father like figure to encourage me, but I'm not asking or needing your enlightenment. Elitist attitude is not fun to be around or a part of?
Again, for the rest of you, Thanks a million.
Peace, Sammy J 

I know the frustration of being in a rush to get something done, but I think you mis-interpreted the tone of the responses you got. All read like they were trying to be genuinely helpful. JMHO.
