i dont think theres any relevence I know that it doesn't have a great relevence, but what is written in the drum could have more than one meaning. If I'm not wrong, this Zappa's album is from 1968. Did he know something about the "great" change in the Beatles after 1966? Did Zappa refer to Faul putting that words in the drum? Maybe yes, maybe no. Thats why I (xpt ;D) posted the pic, to know your opinions about it Thanks!!! ;D |

I figured that was the drum you were talking about.
One of my favorite albums of all time!!!
A wonderfully weird & funny album..... a must-have for all ex-hippy-weirdos!!
I never really thought about it before, but I suppose it's quite possible he knew something & was taking a stab at the Beatles for their decision to continue on.

I'm a Zappa fan, and I'm 100% sure there's no meaning in the drum. Zappa was a genius and made fun of almost everything. In fact he dedicated his greatest efforts to fight against censure.
I know this is just one more of his irreverent jokes.

I dunno.
Explain the fact that the cover was "accidentally" printed on the inside gatefold of the "Magical Mystery Tour" cover at a warehouse in London and that these copies were circulated to record shops.

Yeah for sure partly it's a joke, like Mother Nature's Son said, Zappa did weird things like that. Sorta a weird ghoulish thing on top if you look at it sideways though.. What is that?? I remember listening to only one album of Zappa back in the late 70's, something with the line "Billy was a mountain, Ethyl was a tree growing out of his shoulder". My friends and I for some reason liked to play that over and over again for laughs. Well, we didn't have much to do, ok?  |

Zappa to be sure was not only a musical genius, but a master of popular culture/social commentary satire.
I feel (land of opinion) that the cover is pure satire but from several different perspectives. The music of the Mothers was not mainstream or 'Top 40' by any stretch of the imagination; nor was it ever meant to be.
So, he's spoofing that "they're only in it for the money" when in actual fact, they existed (at that time) only for the eclectic, in-the-know fringe elements of rock listeners.
Zappa was revered in those cult circles, but didn't have very much mass exposure and probably that was alright by him.
The cover is a clever satire spoofing the Sgt. Pepper's cover, obvious to all.
I don't feel Zappa meant The Beatles, by replacing paul with Faul, were "in it for the money" when the easier road to take, when tragedy befell Paul, would have been to pack it all in and drop out. Note that circa 1966-1969 or so, the Beatles certainly weren't hurting for money.

Hello Been reading the posts, had to reply here I remember an interview with F.Z. in which he stated that the title "we're only in it for the Money" was a quote From Ringo Starr. Zappa stated he chose the quote to remind people of the Beatles before they became "socially conscience" Zappa seemed to believe that it would take more then a band, no matter how good, singing "All you need is Love" to change society. So the title was a taunt: Beatles "All You Need Is Love" Zappa (quoting Ringo) "We're only in it for the Money" For the Record, I'm a fan of the Beatles and Zappa |
