The album was made when Beefheart's career was in the dumps. His former albums hadn't sold well and even an attempt to go commercial failed miserably, causing even Beefheart himself to disown himself from the material. On top of that he was in a position where he couldn't record or tour without causing contractual problems. So Zappa helped his old high school buddy out by taking him on tour. The result of their collaboration was the Live Album Bongo Fury.For fans this was the long anticipated collaboration between two giants of avantgarde rock. Expectations were high, maybe too high, because the album felt disappointing to most, despite some fan favorites like "Advance Romance" and "Muffin Man". Nevertheless this was reportedly the favorite Zappa album of Czech President Vaclav Havél, who tried to name Zappa his Cultural Ambassador in 1990.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })TracklistSide One "Debra Kadabra" (3:54) "Carolina Hard-Core Ecstasy" (5:59) "Sam With the Showing Scalp Flat Top" (2:51) "Poofter's Froth Wyoming Plans Ahead" (3:03) "200 Years Old" (4:32)Side Two "Cucamonga" (2:24) "Advance Romance" (11:17) "Man with the Woman Head" (1:28) "Muffin Man" (5:33)Personnel
