This would be a good theme song for the Chair of the House Financial Services Committee.  I've had this song in my head for a couple of weeks now, and it just won't go away.  I hope that this cures my problem, because I've been humming this catchy lttle jingle, and have sung it out loud in my new office.  People are starting to look at me with a wierd look on their face.  It's a good think my corporate overseer is in the Carribean.  Also, I don't think the pope is the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.  They took down an really awesome version from a concert vid off of youTOMB which had nothing to do with pope, on a question of copyright.

The version that I was really hooked on was live, and had been taken down by youTOMB.  BOO!  Just goes to show you that Zappa's assertions on crossfire back in the 80's that he wasn't an anarchist are valid.

Also, a good song about the police state is this smoking bluesy version of "Who are the Brain Police" Which you should watch/listen to even though the audio isn't that great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1MHEJT6sjk  this has Jean-Luc Ponty on violin, but you can only really hear him at the end.  He was in some interesting prog-rock bands, like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jan Hammer Group, and Chick Corea, and Stanley Clark.

This is the version I first heard on the Dr. Dimento Radio Show.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLnqMW6sIM4

LOL... Hilaroius. Why not.

 

Love 'who are the brain police'! I picked up both of the 3 CD box sets when Rhino released Zappa's stuff.
