""The Holiday Inn Motel Chain"" lyrics - FRANK ZAPPA
FZ: In this- In this next section-this is all a continuous piece, this is from the quasi-opera 200 Motels, which deals with the life of the rock & roll musician on the road, and especially dealing with the Holiday Inn motel chain. You have to imagine at this point each one of us is in own motel room, and we're getting ready to go out and score some nooky in this town that we just got into, 'cause you know that when you're in the rock & roll business, that getting paid for what you do is minute compared to getting nooky for what you do when you go on the road, so-
Howard: Right on!
FZ: No, no, no, I'm not going that far, that's your job. So here's the deal, when you're in a band and you get to a town like the day before you're supposed to play, the first thing you do is go dashing off to wherever somebody tells you it's the hot spot in town and you're trying to find somebody that flip your leg over and do [?] the hotel. So, this sequence here-the members of our jolly band are in the motel getting ready to go out. A little organ vamp in the background
Howard: Shit
FZ: Another night at the Holiday Inn
[?]
If it's worked for others
Perhaps it will work for me..
