A detailed analysis of the above Frank Zappa composition, including notated musical examples.
Status Back Baby
LYRICS
I'm losing status at the high school
Check out the cool background sax part:
Oh mama, what will come of me?
Listen to the electric piano or celesta. Probably Don Preston. Very nice touch...
High school spirit's at an all time low
Sax break; goofy vocals with guitar; and then another Stravinsky quote (FZ plays the opening of Petroushka) ... and goes off into a short guitar break over a fast insistent beat; another Petroushka quote...and back to
I'm losing status
and
I'm dreaming...
