This day in music history.

October 29, 1976, Frank Zappa releases one of his finest albums, "Zoot Allures". The albums title track became Franks opening song for his live shows until he stopped touring. The album also features such Frank clasics as "Disco Boy", "Find Her Finer" and "Miss Pinky" ( a song about a inflatable sex doll).
'The Torture Never Stops' by Frank Zappa from the Zoot Allures LP.
Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair
Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes and scratch their matted hair
A tiny light from a window hole a hundred yards away
Is all they ever get to know about the regular life in the day;
An' it stinks so bad the stones been chokin''N weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works'
N the torture never stops
The torture never stops
Slime 'n rot, rats 'n snot 'n vomit on the floor
Fifty ugly soldier men, holdin' spears by the iron door
Knives 'n spikes 'n guns 'n the likes of every tool of pain
An' a sinister midget with a bucket an' a mop where the blood goes down the drain;
Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair
An evil prince eats a steamin' pig in a chamber right near there
He eats the snouts 'n the trotters first
The loin's 'n the groin's is soon dispersed
His carvin' style is well rehearsed
He stands and shouts
All men be cursed
All men be cursed
All men be cursed
All men be cursed
He's the best of course of all the worst
Some wrong been done, he done it first (Well, well)
An' he stinks so bad, his bones been chokin'
(Yeah) 'N weepin' greenish drops, (Well)
In the night of the iron sausage, (Well)
Where the torture never stops.
Flies all green 'n buzzin' in his dungeon of despair
Who are all those people that he's locked away up there
Are they crazy?,
Are they sainted?
Are they zeros someone painted?,
It has never been explained since at first it was created
But a dungeon like a sin
Requires naught but lockin' in
Of everything that's ever been
Look at hers
Look at him
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
