It was a bizarre request, since almost no radio stations at the time ever played Zappa’s music.

“Jewish Princess” (1979)

A satirical look at various stereotypes of young Jewish women, Frank Zappa’s song “Jewish Princess” attracted the attention of the Jewish NGO the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The ADL asked for an apology, but Zappa refused, stating that such “princesses” truly existed, and that they needed to be “commemorated” in song.

Moreover, the ADL had asked the Federal Communications Commission to ban the song from being played on the radio. Which was a bizarre request, since almost no radio stations at the time ever played Zappa’s music.

Prince of Mockery

“Jewish Princess” appeared on Zappa’s 1979 album “Sheik Yerbouti” (sounds like “Shake your booty”).

The title was not the only humorous part of the album – much of its content was hilarious. The album’s humor and mockery brought Zappa increased exposure and fame, and it became Zappa’s biggest-selling album ever, retailing over 2 million copies worldwide. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdz2ZhBjZ2soqfYDYFSsCKz5i1tjHDUzBBbz7bwh19aA6/image.png

Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa was a US musician whose eclectic musical tastes and experimental approach led him to perform rock, blues, jazz, and even orchestral music – and to push the boundaries of each type. Regardless of genre, almost all of his music is improvisational, nonconventional, iconoclastic, and above all, unique and interesting.

60 Albums – Yeah, 60!

Zappa was incredibly prolific. Over the course of his 30-year-plus career, he created over 60 albums of music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

On “Rolling Stone” magazine’s 2004 list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time,” Zappa was ranked at Number 71. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdz2ZhBjZ2soqfYDYFSsCKz5i1tjHDUzBBbz7bwh19aA6/image.png https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSggg85xNgDjzJxRDg8dcRmcVPYXjLRRgVvfpXMorGToH/image.png

I want a nasty little Jewish Princess
With long phony nails and a hairdo that rinses
A horny little Jewish Princess
With a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma
Lonely inside
Well, she can swallow my pride

I need a hairy little Jewish Princess
With a brand new nose, who knows where it goes
I want a steamy little Jewish Princess
With over-worked gums, who squeaks when she cums
I don't want no troll
I just want a Yemenite hole

I want a darling little Jewish Princess
Who don't know shit about cooking and is arrogant looking
A vicious little Jewish Princess
To specifically happen with a pee-pee that's snappin'
All up inside, I just want a Princess to ride
Awright, back to the top ... everybody twist

I want a funky little Jewish Princess
A grinder; a bumper, with a pre-moistened dumper
A brazen little Jewish Princess
With titanic tits, and sand-blasted zits
She can even be poor
So long as she does it with four on the floor
(Vapor-lock)

I want a dainty little Jewish Princess
With a couple of sisters who can raise a few blisters
A fragile little Jewish Princess
With Roumanian thighs, who weasels 'n' lies
For two or three nights
Won't someone send me a Princess who bites [4 x] _{https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdz2ZhBjZ2soqfYDYFSsCKz5i1tjHDUzBBbz7bwh19aA6/image.png
