Pastiche, funny, Cod, humourous music/ bands

[GornikDaze]

Musically Frank was out there, his lyrics were far out. Had some beautiful melodies and riffs as a collective. As my music influencing peers would have just giggled when Zappa came into conversation I only got into his work as I got older. I was shocked to see how together he was as a person, serious and deep. Any interviews given were so on point. Zappa was a gift.

He was a musical genius and much more than just funny lyrics. Looking forward to watching the documentary...

Zappa produced these guys as well.

An old school chum and I still quote Bonzo Dog Band lyrics to each other, and we left school in 1970.

Stanshall and Innes were our Lennon and McCartney.

Only two bands.
As @dennislawsbackheel says, the Bonzos are comedy gold.
Listen to 'Big Shot' on Gorrilla.

How can nobody have mentioned the immensely talented Barron Knights?
