Bettie Page Dances to the oddball Netherlands
New Wave band Gruppo Sportivo's song "Superman" - which features a reworking of the Lumpy Gravy rendition of Frank Zappa's "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance"plus a
lil "Runaway/Crocodile Rock"-esque workout on the Farfisa
(many claim Gruppo Sportivo lifted the lick from Zappa, though Gruppo's US LP "Mistakes" attribute the riff to Frank)
For years I took this to mean Frank Zappa guested on the track, but hey everyone makes
"Mistakes"

´ll say it again & for the last time (promise): it
´s NOT Frank Zappa featuring on guitar here, it´s Gruppo Sportivo covering The Mothers as an intro for their great song "Superman" featuring singer/ guitarist Hans Vandenburg on Fender Telecaster!
Plus, she's an original.

If you want to hear the version of this song with words, then listen to the Mothers of Invention's album entitled We're Only in it for the Money. It is under the name "Take Your Clothes Off When you Dance".
Bettie Page will always be full of win! ^__^
