Rabelais?
[edit]Just a question. What's the evidence that the cover is, infact, referencing Rabelais? I can see the similarity between the two people's work, and certainly Zappa seems Rabelaisian, but it seems more likely that the cover is just depicting the war taking place in the story contained in the liner notes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.76.151.25 (talk) 01:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
The article Eat That Question, about one of the songs on the album, only contains one reference, and doesn't appear to assert sufficient notability for a separate article. According to Wikipedia:Notability (music), "Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article" so I have proposed merging it to this article, about the album. —Snigbrook 00:08, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Agree. Merge done. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 17:15, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
The stuff about recording techniques should appear at the level of the album, not the track. The Hot Rats stuff is irrelevant, and should go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.150 (talk) 19:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
I don't understand the first line of this section. What was novel about the recording method? Is there any source to this? The statement in question: "Eat That Question" features George Duke's piano playing and the recording of the Fender Rhodes electric piano in a novel way. Most recordings of the instrument prior to "Eat That Question" were not of comparable sonic quality or production value as Duke's performance on the piece. —Plarpco (talk) 20:20, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Inaccurate?
[edit]"Before "Wazoo," two earlier albums of mostly instrumental work were released by Zappa, "Hot Rats" and "Burnt Weeney Sandwich." The album "Waka/Jawaka" followed "Wazoo." "
This seems wrong. Wazoo came after Waka, and Wazoo was the 4th such work not the 3rd. Anyone object if I remove these two sentences? Even if corrected, they contribute little and sound lame. --Matt Westwood 19:14, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
