📺 Frank Zappa · Frank Zappa
Saturday Night Live · season 4, episode 69 · Saturday, October 21, 1978 Host: Frank Zappa. Musical guest: Frank Zappa. • Frank Zappa and his band perform "Dancin' Fool" from the 1979 album Sheik Yerbouti, "The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing" from the 1981 album You Are What You Is and "Rollo", which was cut from the 1974 album Apostrophe (') and would remain unreleased until 2006's Imaginary Diseases. • Special Guests: Father Guido Sarducci, Franken and Davis • During Zappa's performance of "Rollo", John Belushi, in character as Samurai Futaba, briefly appears on stage with the group. Singing into a microphone duct taped to the body of an electric guitar, Belushi carries out a call and response bit with the band. • Zappa was unpopular with the cast and crew, possibly in part because their lax views on drug and alcohol consumption did not mesh with his anti-drug stance. This is highlighted in the sketch "Night on Freak Mountain", which also features Paul Shaffer as Don Kirshner. Throughout the episode, Zappa regularly mugs for the camera and frequently notes to the audience that he is reading from cue cards. • Mr. Bill Moves In. Wiki link
