May get a lot of flack on this, but Frank Zappa was one of the most creative artists in our lifetime. Only had one 4-channel album of his, the one with Dynamo Hum (forget the dang name!). Creativity = 10. Musical arrangement = 10. Made me laugh = 10. Miss his genius...

Dina-Moe Humm was first released on the album "Overnight Sensation" in 1973.<br /><br />Sure wish I could post the lyrics to that song here, but I'm sure the mods would POOF it!

That's it, KKC! Overnight Sensation... Sounded GREAT in 4-channel!<br />Dang, now I'll be singin' Dina-Moe Hum all stinkin' night!<br />("Couldn't say where she's comin' from, but I just met a lady named Dina-Moe Hum... She stroll on over say, "look here, bum, I gotta 40-dollar bill says you can't make me ...")

SoulWinner,<br /><br />I cant beleive that you don't have Peter Frampton "Live"!<br /><br />Not having that album is like never hearing "Stairway To Heaven"!<br /><br />I think you need to get to a store and get a copy of Frampton...SOON!<br /><br />Not having Frampton is like a Rock & Roll Cardinal Sin! :D

Hey BrianFD,<br /><br />Now that, that song is stuck in your head and you'll be singing it all night, see how many of your freinds know or remember that song.<br /><br />Been trying to get my local R&R FM station to play that song for the past couple of years, but they continually refuse.<br /><br />Even the overnight DJ's won't play it!<br /><br />Go Figure.
