Does Humor Belong in Music? is a live album by Frank Zappa. It features concert recordings from October–December 1984. It was the first album by Zappa to be released on CD only (although it was bootlegged on vinyl for listeners who did not own CD players).[1]
A home video (later reissued on DVD) of the same name was released. "Tinseltown Rebellion", "Trouble Every Day" and "Whipping Post" appear on both, but are different performances. Fragments of "Hot-Plate Heaven" also appear in the video (with only the verses of the song left intact). The cover art of the original CD release and the VHS release, however, are the same.
