| Frank Zappa – Montana Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
Ok you devious little curiosity seekers who want a peep into the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, I challenge you to comprehend the true meaning of this song. It's about Frank's separation from his father. Unfortunately it's too involved to extrapolate here. Basically, FZ left home (moving to a place of enchantment - Montana) for a carrer in music that so many considered bizarre (raising lonely dental floss - why lonely?), so he could control his own destiny (by myself I wouldn't have no boss). It's far deeper, as are many of FZ's works, and I apologize for offering such a short explanation. Take A Toke On Me, BlueCheer420 |

Folks, it's utter folly to become entangled in the scenarios presented in each of the three "events" the kids experience. In listening to the wordless refrain towards the end of the song the message suddenly became clear. Allow me to paint a picture in your mind of a guy with his arms out, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows arched, with a caption that says, "OH WELL." Odd things happen to people. It's just the way it is so let it be. Don't make a crater out of mud puddle. |

It's been extremely enlightening for me to have read ALL the comments for this song. When I first heard it I knew it was not a "joke song" as many think it is. But it took me literally months to decide how I would interpret the three odd situations presented. Then it hit me. There really is no deep or hidden meaning(s). It's simple, and the wordless chorus is the key. All of us, some more than others, will experience uncomfortable social situations which, especially as a child, we have almost no control over. And the subliminal message in the chorus could justifiably be, "We're all different. That's just the way it is. And it's okay." |
