Product Details
Best known for the infamous "Dinah-Mo-Hum"--a tale of sexual depravity and bovine perspiration--Over-Nite Sensation is a flawlessly executed collection of jazz-rock Frank Zappa classics. The seven-song set, which includes backup vocals by Tina Turner and the Ikettes, equally showcases Zappa's unique penchant for storytelling and the abilities of his studio-musician sidemen. Zappa's guitar work is also some of his finest, flaring up on "I'm the Slime," "Zomby Woof" and "Montana." --Andrew Boscardin
Product Reviews
 (4 stars) - Over Nite Sensation - Zappa in all his GLORY!
I had this on vinyl back in the day. Had to have for my current collection. "Montana" is my favorite! "Dyno Hum" is also very entertaining. We lost Frank Zappa too soon. So much more poetry could had been written & performed by him.
 (5 stars) - SCHOOLS SHOULD ISSUE THIS TO THIRTEEN YEAR OLDS...
I first heard this album when I was around thirteen, and instantly became hooked on asking girls how to make their Dinah-Mo Hum. Some may pan this album for being too commercial, but to make a statement like that would only prove in the long run, that you must not get it. Zappa fills in the blanks with some of his most immature lyrics, but thats only to round out the over all concept, which plays fun on the pop culture that its selling itself to.
He writes tunes that sound like what was popular at the time... CARAMILLO BRILLO has sort of a seventies california folk rock feel to it. I'M THE SLIME has a disco vibe happening.
Zappa stays true to Zappa but isn't so weird that a large percent of the poulation don't connect. In a way he opens the doors to many peoples weirder sides. Take a skewed look around. It makes this a good album for thirteen year olds who like to play with peoples nerves here and there. Freak some people out, you know? Also, theres mostly straight ahead tunes here that are easy to understand without much thought. They are a little bit filthy though so you might not want to let your moms catch you listening to it. If she catches you and gets mad, just ask her where her Dinah Mo is coming from? This is stuff you need to know.
(5 stars) - it's a classic
Frank Zappa has a talent for creative goofiness. That means, even though your first opinion upon listening to any one of his albums (except Hot Rats) is that he's deliberately singing in a goofy style, his ability to put a song together creativey and make it sound like something *no one* else could possibly create makes him an original genius. It really does.
Over-Nite Sensation captures every aspect of Frank Zappa's creative and silly side perfectly. Could it be the ultimate Frank Zappa album? Well, I choose Hot Rats as the mans BEST album, but Over-Nite Sensation isn't far behind. This album, unlike Hot Rats, has vocals, and silly lyrics about going to Montana, dental floss, um... girls doing naughty things, and more!
Meanwhile, his FLAT OUT AWESOME guitar soloing skills are implemented into the songwriting, and other unpredictable things such as female vocals in the background.
It's just a really great album, though a very short one. I highly recommend this album. You might not like it, I admit, because he really dips into his goofy side here, but he also backs up his silly ways with great songwriting and a creative touch unlike anyone else.
(5 stars) - I love FZ!
