Eat That Question

Eat That Question

Eat That Question is the 4 out of 5 from Frank Zappa in the album The Grand Wazoo. A predetermined parody to "Erotico" (The Burglars) from the The Big Gundown which plays in 5/10 in no original tempo. According to Ben Watson in the book The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play, Eat That Question provides a humorous image for the tendency of free jazz and fusion to deconstruct tempo and harmony in the free interaction of small sounds. "In a burlesque of feeding Christians to the lions (or tiraal leon in Mexican slang), the solution to the problem of Questions (individuals who don't like music) is a literal one: a tank of undifferentiated tissue. [Page 204; Frank Zappa: "The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play" by Ben Watson, "St. Martin's Griffin, New York", 1995]
