"Weasels Ripped My Flesh" was the first classic Frank Zappa album I ever laid ears on. I always thought only Mr. Zappa could have concocted such a sick, disturbing sounding album title. Imagine my amazement all these years later, learning that the title was actually nicked from an article from a men's adventure magazine from 1956. I wonder if FZ was aware of the even weirder article title "Flying Rodents Ripped My Flesh" from 1957? To be attacked by carnivorous flying squirrels! What a horrible way to go.
