ZAPPA THE MUSICIAN-PERFORMER: Zappa's musical influence

Many musicians were influenced by new kinds of music that Zappa created and experimented with.  Orgasmic-sounding, nonverbal vocalizations are perhaps the best example of such an element that was copied by others.

Try listening for yourself...

Zappa & MOI: "Help, I'm a Rock!" (June 1966)

Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention - Help, I'm a Rock

The Doors: "The End" (Jan 1967) ... listen at 9:03 ... also includes a hard-to-notice change in meter and tempo, very Zappan

The Beatles: "Lovely Rita" (Feb 1967)

All much to Zappa's chagrin - his work being mimicked AND credited by two of his least favourite types: a drug abusing hippie band (The Doors)

and the commercially loved Beatles? No wonder he hated them both.
