Zappa: Mom & Dad for String Quartet

https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-U... https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/pro... "Mom & Dad" is a song by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, released in 1968 as part of their album "We're Only In It For The Money". The song blends two of Zappa's favorite topics from the 1960s: "plastic life" and social commentary on generational conflicts. The lyrics paint a stark picture of parental indifference and societal violence. The song begins with the lines: "Mama! Mama! Someone said they made some noise The cops have shot some girls & boys You'll sit home & drink all night They looked too weird . . . it served them right" Zappa critiques the disconnect between parents and their children, highlighting issues such as emotional detachment, substance abuse, and the failure to communicate effectively: "Ever take a minute just to show a real emotion In between the moisture cream & velvet facial lotion? Ever tell your kids you're glad that they can think? Ever say you loved 'em? Ever let 'em watch you drink?" The song concludes with a tragic scenario: "Mama! Mama! Your child was killed in the park today Shot by the cops as she quietly lay By the side of the creeps she knew . . . They killed her too." "Mom & Dad" has been performed live by Zappa and his band, with recordings from concerts at the Fillmore East in 1971 and other venues45. The song continues to be recognized for its social commentary and relevance, addressing themes that resonate with audiences across generations.
