Made almost entirely of massively overdubbed live recordings, Sheik Yerbouti (1979) was the first album Frank released after his less-than-amicable departure from Warner Bros.  Nonetheless, it became one of Frank's most commercially successful recordings, perhaps because of its sheer nuttiness.  This may very well be the most genuinely wacky album Frank ever made, and one of its wackier tunes is "Jewish Princess."

I have another reason for posting this - my Songfight friends Octothorpe created a terrific Star Wars-related mock-up of this song called "Jedi Princess."  They did this for my benefit during the 2005 Songfight Gift of Music - I talk about the GoM in more detail here.

A Star Wars parody of a Frank Zappa song?  It's like those guys have known me my whole life.
