Sheik Yerbouti is a 1979 music album by Frank Zappa, released through Zappa Records in North America and CBS Records internationally. The album was Zappa's first release through the former label, which Zappa established through Phonogram as a vanity imprint following a lengthy legal battle with ex-manager Herb Cohen and Warner (Bros.) Records.A mostly live album with studio embellishments and heralding a visibly increased comedic emphasis, it was the first album released after winning the rights to all his songs in a court case against his former label Warner Brothers. It remains the best-selling album in his catalogue, especially in Europe, where "Bobby Brown" (no relation to the musician) even became a Number One hit in Norway. Other fan favorites are "I Have Been In You", "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes", "I'm So Cute", "Baby Snakes", "City Of Tiny Lites", "Dancin' Fool", "Jewish Princess" and "Yo' Mama". | |

Misogyny Song | |
| Sheik Yerbouti (Music) / int_61d6784f | comment |
Misogyny Song: "Jewish Princess" was accused of being antisemitic, while Zappa defended himself that the subject he sang about did in fact exist, and therefore he didn't apologize for it. He did, however, write a song poking fun at his own religious background called "Catholic Girls" on his next album Joe's Garage (1979). "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes": "Bobby Brown Goes Down", in which Bobby "lets" a cheerleader do "all the work for his paper" and maybe he'll "rape her later". He also describes Women's Liberation as "creepin' across the nation" and "fucked a dyke". Arguably justified, on a purely psychological level, if you regard Bobby as having been a self-hating closeted gay man all along: homophobia and misogyny generally go together, and as soon as Bobby accepts his sexuality and starts having sex with guys, he stops being so nasty about women. | |

Covers Always Lie: At first glance when seeing Zappa in his sheik headgear on the front and back album cover you assume there will be an Arabic theme going on. But no, it's not a Concept Album and no references to Sheik Yerbouti are made on the entire album, except for the instrumental "Sheik Yerbouti Tango". | |

Spoken Word in Music: "What Ever Happened To All The Fun In The World?" and "Wait A Minute" are short interludes between Zappa band members. "The Sheik Yerbouti Tango" has an introduction by Patrick O' Hearn: "Why don't you take it down to C-sharp, Ernie?" "Rat Tomago" ends with O' Hearn laughing: "Oh-ooh-h, listen to him go!" "Dancin' Fool" also ends with a conversation between Zappa and a girl, though we only hear him talking. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Sheik Yerbouti (Music) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
"Jewish Princess" has the line "Hi-ho, Silver! Away!", a reference to the Catchphrase of the cowboy The Lone Ranger, a character where comedian Lenny Bruce- one of Zappa's influences- once did a routine about too. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Sheik Yerbouti (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Zappa would later name his Concert Film Baby Snakes, after one of the songs on this album. "I Have Been In You" is a stab at Peter Frampton's "I'm In You". The song was also used in the film Happy Together by Wong Kar-Wai, along with "Chunga's Revenge" from the eponymous album. "Flakes" has a Bob Dylan parody half way. "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes" references The Gong Show. "I'm So Cute" starts off with the chant One two three four!, a reference to The Ramones. "Jewish Princess" has the line "Hi-ho, Silver! Away!", a reference to the Catchphrase of the cowboy The Lone Ranger, a character where comedian Lenny Bruce- one of Zappa's influences- once did a routine about too. "Yo' Mama" has a shout-out to Managua, capital of Nicaragua. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| Sheik Yerbouti (Music) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: The line "one of my legs is shorter than they other" in "Dancin' Fool" references Zappa's own accident in 1971, when he was pushed off stage by an idiot and had to spent months in the hospital. It caused his voice to be much lower than before and one his legs to be a bit shorter than the other. | |

Live Album | |
| Sheik Yerbouti (Music) / int_d29f109e | comment |
Live Album: Certain tracks were recorded live, with a lot of overdubs. The only implication can be found near the end of "Yo' Mama", where Zappa names his band members and thanks the audience for coming to the show. | |

So You Were Saying...? | |
| Sheik Yerbouti (Music) / int_d70eacf6 | comment |
So You Were Saying...?: "Broken Hearts Are For Assholes" has a mid-section interlude where Zappa and Patrick O'Hearn start trading lines that are apparently a description of upcoming events in some kind of BDSM club. After a while the singer returns to his original point again: "But you forgot what I was saying..." | |

Grief Song: "Whatever Happened To All The Fun In The World?", a spoken word track where we are informed that "Larry's not with us anymore", because he apparently "bit the big one". The others find this hilarious, though. Larry Fanoga was the alter ego of Zappa band member Jim "Motorhead" Sherwood. | |
