Product Description

"How Could I Be Such a Fool?" is a song by Frank Zappa, originally released on his debut album "Freak Out!" in 19661. The song was later included in other albums, such as "Cruising With Ruben & The Jets" (1968)2 and "Mystery Disc" (1998). The song's musical structure is notable for its use of a modified nanigo rhythm, which Zappa referred to as a "Motown Walz." It maintains a 3/4 time signature throughout, with shifting accents adding complexity to the rhythm. Lyrically, the song explores themes of heartbreak and betrayal in a romantic relationship. The narrator expresses regret and self-criticism for being fooled by a partner who mistreated them. "How Could I Be Such a Fool?" has been performed live by Zappa, with a notable performance recorded in Edinboro, PA on May 8, 1974. The song continues to be available on various streaming platforms, allowing new generations of listeners to discover this early work in Zappa's extensive catalog
