'''Snuky Tate''' was the pseudonym of American musician Lionel White (1948-1998). He performed a comedic character named ''Snuky Tate'' during punk concerts. His single ''[[He's The Groove]]'' (1979) was a minor hit song and is a tongue in cheek dance song about [[Pope]] John Paul II, around the time he first visited the United States. <br />

==Zappa and Snuky Tate==<br />
<br />
On 19 November 1979, as a guest on ''[[WPIX, New York]]'', and on May 1981, as a guest on the ''[[Dr. Demento]]'' show, Zappa played ''He's the Groove''. <br />
<br />
==Zappa about Snuky Tate==<br />
<br />
'''Dr Demento''': '''In this next segment of our interview with Frank Zappa, which was taped a few days before the near-tragic shooting in the Vatican, Frank Zappa played a song about...[[Pope]] [sic.]. It's a little bit unconventional, but not at all disrespectful. In fact, it's all about really what a wonderful man the Pope is. And of course our prayers are very much with him. So let's listen...'''<br />
<br />
'''Zappa''': ''"Yeah. Snuky is a guy that I met in New York, and I don't know how to explain this record to you other than to say that it is a kind of...disco/funk/new wave/rampant commercialism based on the time when the Pope was touring the United States. And the name of this song is "He's The Groove."''<br />
