677 - Frank Zappa Bobby Brown 1979

"Bobby Brown (Goes Down)" is a song by American composer, musician, and singer Frank Zappa. It appears on his "Sheik Yerbouti" album from 1979.
During the late 1970s, Frank Zappa put the emphasis in his work on sociological studies of odd human behavior, a trend that existed since his early days with the Mothers of Invention, but developed into his main concern by the time of Sheik Yerbouti. "Bobby Brown" belongs to this category. The main character used to be a successful specimen of white male: cute, attending a "famous school," ambitious and popular: "I am the American dream." After his studies he is going to "get a good job 'n' be real rich." But the Womans Liberation movement had such consequences that he turned to homosexuality and sadomasochism. Now the American dream has "a spindle up [his] butt till it makes [him] scream".
