....from Zappa's The RealFrank Zappa Book (1989)…
"My lyrics are there for entertainment purposes only--not to be taken internally. Some of them are truly stupid, some are slightly less stupid and a few of them are sort of funny. Apart from the snide political stuff, which I enjoy writing, the rest of the lyrics wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for the fact that we live in a society where instrumental music is irrelevant--so if a guy expects to earn a living by providing musical entertainment for folks in the U.S.A., he'd better figure out how to do something with a human voice plopped on it."
Apearently FZ recorded
many instrumental tracks and even
albums.
Synclavier based albums
Francesco Zappa released in 1984, and Jazz From Hell released in 1986 (also
a Grammy Award-winning album for Best Rock Instrumental Performance) are all
instrumental.
And the orchestral albums Orchestral
Favorites, 200 Motels, Lumpy Gravy, London Symphony Orchestra are almost all
instrumental.
