On this day, December 21, 1984, Frank Zappa released his ambitious and controversial 42nd album, Thing-Fish. This satirical rock opera blends humor, social commentary, and experimental sounds to create a unique and provocative experience.
The album critiques everything from politics to cultural norms, all while telling the bizarre story of mutated “Mammy Nuns” and their outrageous escapades. Known for its bold themes and theatrical narrative, Thing-Fish stands out as one of Zappa’s most unconventional works.
