When It's Perfect - Frank Zappa

FZ:.

.. just so I can hear the song again

One two one two three

I’ll give you two bars

One two one two three

One two one two three

Again

One two one two three

One two one two three

That’s-- We’re missing

??: The accent

FZ: Okay

??: Frank, the that part?

FZ: No, actually, I think the part you’ve got is probably.

The other one was

pretty much engineered for the tuba

Now, let’s go over this «New Brown Clouds» the way we were starting off with it.

You missed this part.

There’s seven, you count seven quarter notes before you

come in, Kenny.

And then you read that as if it was double-time

FZ: Duh-duh duh-duh-duh duh-duh duh duh duh

Duh-duh duh-duh-duh duh-duh duh duh duh

Duh-duh duh-duh-duh duh-duh duh duh duh

Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh

??: Oh

FZ: All right, let me hear it

FZ: Let me hear the brass at that double-time clip

One-- I will count the seven beats before you come in

One two three four one two three

FZ: That 5/16 thing is like a little fanfare

Duh-duh duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh duh-duh-duh

Duh-duh duh-duh DUH

??: Yeah, right

FZ: You know those little fanfares.

Aynsley: the four beat exactly?

Aynsley: just before it

FZ: When it’s perfect, it’ll come into the right place

Aynsley: Yeah, but it’s exactly

FZ: It should be one two three four one two three duh-duh duh-duh-duh

Aynsley: a sixteenth note before

FZ: Yeah.

It comes in right on the downbeat of the four beat of bar two

Aynsley:

FZ: One two three four one two three

Duh-duh duh-duh-duh duh-duh duh duh duh

Duh-duh duh-duh-duh duh-duh duh duh duh

Duh-duh duh-duh-duh duh-duh duh duh duh

Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh

Okay, here it is in full regalia

??: Where?

FZ: From the beginning.
