UFOs and ancient Andes ruins: Frank Zappa’s “Inca Roads” (video)


The supremely weird (what else is new?) Inca Roads was the opening track on Frank Zappa’s 1975 LP One Size Fits All. Zappa and friends explore the racist cable TV theory that ancient illegal space aliens built the civilization of the Incas, because ancient Incas were not smart enough to do it themselves because brown.

Mira las palabras:

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round
And did it have a motor
Or was it something different?

Sure was different. I ain’t never seen nothing like that in my entire life!
Whose python boot is that? That ain’t my sh— What?
Why don’t you sharpen it then?
Little round ball… I could… couldn’t…
That white cain’t do nothin’
Je-he-zus! Wait a minute!
Mother Mary ‘n Jozuf!

Did a vehicle, did a vehicle, did a vehicle
Fly along the mountains
And find a place to park itself? Park itself?
Park it, park it
Or did someone build a place
To leave a space
For such a thing to land?

Ahhh, ahhaa
Ahhh ahhaa
Ahhh ahhaa
Ahhh ahhaa

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Did a vehicle come
From somewhere out there
Did the Indians, first on the bill
Carve up the hill

Did a booger-bear come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was she round and did she have a motor
Or was she something different?
Guacamole queen, guacamole queen, guacamole queen
At the Armadillo in Austin Texas, her aura
Or did someone build a place
Or leave a space for Chester’s thing to land
(Chester’s thing… on Ruth)
Did a booger-bear come from somewhere out there
Did a booger-bear come from somewhere out there
Did the Indians, first on the bill, carve up her hill?

On Ruth, on Ruth
Haha
That’s Ruth
