Tema del día, nº 8 - Montana, por Frank Zappa

Aquí está el tema Montana, interpretado por Frank Zappa y los Mothers of Invention, según la versión del álbum Overnite Sensation (1973), incluyendo voces de apoyo de Tina Turner y las Iquettes.

Overnite Sensation disco que Frank Zappa pone en la calle en 1973, incluye esta bella y compleja composición, Montana, uno de los temas más evocados del BigoteZ.

En la grabación aparecen en voces de apoyo Tina Turner y la Iquettes, cosa que no figura en los créditos del disco. Parece que al entonces pareja y manager de la Turner no le gustó nada el tema.

Los restantes intérpretes son:

Frank Zappa: guitarra y voz
George Duke – sintetizador y teclados
Bruce Fowler – trombón
Tom Fowler – bajo
Ralph Humphrey – batería
Sal Marquez – trompeta
Jean-Luc Ponty – violín y violín barítono
Ian Underwood – clarinete, flauta, saxo alto y tenor
Ruth Underwood – percusión, marimba y vibráfono
Kin Vassy – voces (Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)

La letra del tema es como sigue:

Montana

I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss

Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
In a little white box
That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
To somebody else . . . but then, on the other hand I would

Keep the wax
'N melt it down
Pluck some Floss
'N swish it aroun'

I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all
Afternoon . . .

I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way

I'm pluckin' the ol'
Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big,
An' ride him all along the border line

With a
Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand

By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely
Dental Floss

Well I might
Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night

And then I'd
Get a cuppa cawfee
'N give my foot a push . . .
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over by the Dennil Floss Bush

'N then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)

1. Exelente etapa de Zappa de la misma epoca que el LP Apostrophe.
   Soy fana del bigutudo y me parece que es uno de los Genios de la historia de la musica.
   saludos a toda la comunidad amante de ZAPPA
