Hungry Freaks, Daddy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hungry Freaks, Daddy" is a song by the Mothers of Invention, and was released on the Mothers' debut album, Freak Out!
The song showcases Frank Zappa's lyrical talents; it's the first song on the first side on the first record of the Freak Out! double album gatefold. The guitar riff is reminiscent of The Rolling Stones' hit (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, and the arrangement has a pseudo-symphonic feel. The lyrics mock conformity and refers to Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society. It is one of Zappa's best-known songs.
The song is also quite notable for being the first song on Zappa's first full album. According to the liner notes on the Freak Out! album, this song was written for Carl Orestes Franzoni.
