Biography:
Frank Vincent Zappa (born December 21, 1940 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States – December 4, 1993 in Los Angeles, California, United States) was an American composer, guitarist, singer, bandleader and producer. He was one of the most prolific musicians of his time, releasing over fifty albums of original material spanning over a thirty-five year career.
Zappa's earliest influences were 1950s pop and rock (such as doo-wop and rhythm and blues), and 20th-century classical composers including Igor Stravinsky and Edgard Varèse.

Subject: CRD: Frank Zappa, "Sofa #2"
Music by Frank Zappa (1940-1993)
This is quite an attractive piece of music. It could be commercial, with
a few more margaritas and the right company.
However, I digress.
This is my own favorite song of FZ's to sing. Beautiful melody
(also very common as an instrumental) and bilingual lyrics (they come in
German also).

I am the heaven, I am the water
I am the dirt beneath your rollers
I am your secret smut & lost netal money
Down your cracks
I am your cracks and crannies
I am the clouds, I am embroidered
I am the author of all tucks an damask piping
I am the chrome dinette, I am the chrome dinette
I am eggs of all persuasions
I am all days and nights
I am here
and you are my sofa
