Video (and lyrics): Frank Zappa's Greatest Band Performs One Of His Greatest Songs: Inca Roads

This video showcases what has to be Frank Zappa's greatest group performing one of Frank's greatest songs: Inca Roads, from One Size Fits All. Sure, I probably like the song because it contains a touch of Alien Lore. The stellar band on this outing includes (among others) George Duke (on piano, synthesizer and vocals), Ruth Underwood (marimbas), Napoleon Murphy Brock (Sax and flute), Tom Fowler (bass), and Chester Thompson (drums).

Inca Roads
By Frank Zappa

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round
And did it have
A motor
Or was it
Something
Different

Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Fly along the mountains
And find a place to park itself

Or did someone
Build a place
To leave a space
For such a vehicle to land

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Did the indians, first on the bill
Carve up the hill

Did a booger-bear
Come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was she round
And did she have a motor
Or was she something different

Guacamole Queen
Guacamole Queen
Guacamole Queen
Guacamole Queen
At the Armadillo in Austin Texas, her aura,
Or did someone build a place
Or leave a space for Chester's Thing to land
*(Chester's Thing... on Ruth)*
Did a booger-beer
Come from somewhere out there
Did a booger-bear
Come from somewhere out there
Did the Indians, first on the bill
Carve up her hill
On Ruth
On Ruth
That's Ruth
