Freak Out! was the first album released by Frank Zappa and the Mothers, and it is also extremely funny. It is one big satire of pop culture, drug culture, and American society in general. It pokes fun at teens and their hangups, like hair, cars, girls, basic teen vapidness.
You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here is hilarious. My favorite line is 'Mom I tore a big hole in the convertible.' Musically, vibes and kazoo are represented alongside the regular guitar bass and drums rock set up. Like any great pop song, it is also very catchy. Zappa seemed to compose these tunes in his sleep, it's like he was saying 'look how easy it is to write this teen stuff.'
