+'''The Blimp''' is a track from [[Captain Beefheart]]'s ''[[Trout Mask Replica]]'' (1969) album, produced by Frank Zappa. On this track, [[Magic Band]] member Antennae Jimmy Semens (A.K.A. Jeff Cotton) recites the lyrics by telephone, while [[Frank Zappa]] can be heard recording it in the studio and commenting on it afterwards.
-Guitar Player (1993) Interview:
+''The Blimp'' was also sampled by the band [[DEUS|dEUS]] as part of their debut single ''Zea'' (1994).
-[FZ:] I was in the studio mixing some other tapes, and the band that's playing on The Blimp is actually [[The Mothers]]. The vocal on The Blimp was recorded by telephone. He had just written these lyrics, and he had one of the guys in the band recite it to me over the phone. I taped it in the studio, and recorded it onto the piece of tape that I had up at the time, which was my track. So, that's how that came about.
+==Frank Zappa about ''The Blimp''==
-[GP:] And now your version of The Blimp is out on the re-release version of [[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]] too.
+Frank Zappa, cited in an interview in Guitar Player (1993):
-[FZ:] It's also going to be on this new episode of [[You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 5]]. The piece is called [[Charles Ives (The Track)|Charles Ives]]. We used to play it on the '68-'69 tour.
