| | Frank Zappa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In her improvised "lyrics" to the song, Zappa's daughter Moon Unit satirized the vapid speech of teenage girls from the San Fernando Valley. | | | Läther featured all aspects of Zappa's musical styles —rock tunes, theatrical works, complex instrumental compositions, and Zappa's own trademark tube distortion-drenched guitar solos were all recorded for the release. | | | Zappa soon appeared on the influential Los Angeles radio station KROQ, allowing them to broadcast the whole album, and instructing listeners to make their own tape recordings. |

| | Frankly A Cappella |
| | Zappa gave a thumbs-up to sign The Persuasions to Straight Records---and suggested using the audition tape as the finished album. | | | That album, "A Cappella" was released on Zappa's Straight Records label in 1970, launching The Persuasions on their show business career. | | | Yet The Persuasions---who launched their recording career in 1969, when Zappa signed them to his Straight label after listening to a tape a friend played for him over the telephone---deftly manage the complex arrangements and intricate rhythm structurs that Zappa wrote to challenge a generation of virtuoso instrumentalists. |

| | ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY OC Weekly: Music: Reconstructing Zappa |
| | I think with a lot of the later bands, the people knew of the music, but they didn’t actually listen to it, and they didn’t really know where Zappa was coming from. | | | "In 1961 or ’62, Zappa used to come and sit in with the band I had that performed electronic music or experimental music, and I think you could hear that [in the original Mothers]. | | | Before hooking up with Zappa in the early ’60s, Preston, now an exceptionally youthful 71, toured and/or recorded with a stunning litany of heavies, including Nat King Cole, Charlie Haden, Elvin Jones, Paul and Carla Bley, and Herbie Mann. |

| | Zappa is married to Paul Doucette, who is drummer for the band Matchbox 20. | | | The song appeared on Zappa's contemporary album Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch, a title which had itself been thought up by Moon Unit, as an explanation for the cryptic line drawing on the album's cover. | | | "Valley Girl" was Frank Zappa's only top 40 hit in the United States, and popularized phrases such as "Grody to the max", "Gag me with a spoon", and also the word bitchin' as a term of high praise. |
