アダルト・ロック | Mona Lisa was a woman.

Mona Lisa was a woman.

Life is so strange, Destination unknown.
When you don't know, Your destination.
Something could change, It's unknown.
And then you won't know, Destination unknown.

「One Size Fits All/Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention」

ここのところ何十年も日進月歩で、流れも急速で、広く浅く満遍なく情報の吸収をして始めて。の様な風潮がありますが、ただでさえ忙しくお仕事をされている方にとってはかなり過酷な状況と言えるでしょう。
フランク・ザッパ/ Frank Zappaのアルバム「ワンサイズ・フィッツ・オール/ One Size Fits All」が発売されたのが1975年。
ミュージシャンやシンガーは雲の上の存在と崇められていた時、やはりザッパは雲の上の人でした。

・・・一筋縄にはいきませんね・・・

"Po-jama people" Lyric

Some people's hot
Some people's cold
Some people's not very
Swift to behold
Some people do it
Some see right through it
Some wear pyjamas
If only they knew it

The pyjama people are boring me to pieces
Feel like I am wasting my time
They all got flannel up 'n down 'em
A little trap-door back aroun' 'em
An' some cozy little footies on their mind

Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
They sure do make you sleepy
With the things they might say
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Mother Mary 'n Jozuf, I wish they'd all go away!

Po-jama people!
It's a po-jama people special . . .
Take one home with you, save a dollar today
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Wrap 'em up
Roll 'em out
Get 'em out of my way
Hein nya-nya-hein nya-nya-hein nya-nya-hein
HOEY! HOEY! HOEY!
Wrap 'em up
Roll 'em out
Get 'em out of my way
Hein nya-nya-hein nya-nya-hein nya-nya-hein
HOEY! HOEY! HOEY!
Wrap 'em up
Roll 'em out
Get 'em out of my way
Hein nya-nya-hein nya-nya-hein nya-nya-hein
HOEY! HOEY! HOEY!

Shynjuku East(Well . . . ) now some people's hot
