in the mood for a little punky's whips this morning

By the way, the video is not really work appropriate...  lyrics-wise and maybe playing-drums-in-underwear-wise.




Special thanks to Tom in Bend, Oregon who lead an impromptu Zappa Appreciation Workshop for me when I visited in 2009.  I learned all the intricacies of this great composer and his overly-talented and disciplined crew.

You've got to watch it 18 times to truly appreciate it.
