Steemit Open Mic Week 94: Zappa!
This is my submission for [Steemit Open Mic](https://steemit.com/openmic/@luzcypher/steemit-open-mic-week-94-record-your-performance-and-win-steem-sponsored-by-pfunk-and-luzcypher) that is run by @luzcypher. Please support other entries. You can find them in the comments of that post.

I wonder if anyone else has covered a Frank Zappa song. I first played this one at the pub after someone remarked on this shirt I got for supporting a Kickstarter to preserve his archives.

![Shirt](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXXdHB92tRT5tmEzcsFuqpqz9AAaNznh3n9ByuMwCaCUY/image.png)

A lot of his songs are a bit complex, but [Let's Make the Water Turn Black](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Make_the_Water_Turn_Black) is short and not too hard to play. The lyrics are about some of his neighbours who wasted their time lighting farts.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rJlZ6LtFPoo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I hope this song raises a few smiles. Thanks for your support.

Rock on!

Fun fact: the record company created a 'clean' version of 'We're Only In It For The Money' (from whence this song comes), and one of the edits was to get rid of 'I still remember Mother with her apron and her pad, Feeding all the boys in Ed's cafe'.
Apparently whoever was responsible for this decided the 'pad' was a sanitary napkin...
