For some reason, the phrase “Fast and Bulbous” has been stuck in my head all evening, and I've been chanting it in my best Don Van Vliet accent.
found this mashup version on the Tube
lyrics if you can't decipher 'em:
Dialogue:
Don Van Vliet: (laughter)
taped DVV: “Fast and bulbous”
The Mascara Snake: “Fast and bulbous” DVV: “That's er . . . ” (more laughter)
Frank Zappa: “Okay, do it again, then you've won.”
DVV: “I love it, it's one of those words.”
MS: “Fast and bulbous”
DVV: “That's right, The Mascara Snake, fast and bulbous.”
MS: “Bulbous also tapered”
DVV: “Yeah, but yer gotta wait until I say, 'Also, a tin teardrop' ”
MS: (laughing) “Huh. . . christ”
FZ: “Again, beginning”
MS: “Fast and bulbous”
DVV: “That's right, The Mascara Snake, fast and bulbous. Also a tin teardrop.”
MS: “Bulbous also tapered”
DVV: “That's right”
