This song was playing in the music shop where I work, and some clever customer started going on about how the main riff is 'exactly the same' as The Rolling Stones' 'Satisfaction'. Heads very, VERY nearly rolled...
Hey man. I'm a tone deaf percussionist and even I can hear the difference. It has a different rythum also, So the dude wasn't a drummer.
Jumping Jack Flash? Then this should really confuse them.... [ame="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yunk_buffalo-springfield-mr-soul-live-hp_music"]Dailymotion - Buffalo Springfield - Mr Soul - Live HP 1966 - a Music video@@AMEPARAM@@http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video@@AMEPARAM@@video[/ame]
YES! EVERYONE claims Mr Soul has the same main riff to Satisfaction as well, and you can hear the similarity... but it's a huge stretch to call it the same riff, the riff off Satisfaction sounds way more angular and stocatto-y than the riff on Mr Soul, which is far more smooth, flowing and legato-y. I hate to just hurl those terms around so crudely, but that's the best way my stoned brain can describe it... That whole album (the one Mr Soul is off, I forget the title - might be Bufallo Springfield Again) is awesome too, redhead - Hung Upside Down stands out in my mind particularly. Kudos for digging it up and posting here... and, naturally, kudos to the OP for making a thread about a fucking Zappa song!
"Mr. America, walk on by... Your schools that do not teach" Good one, but from the same album "Freak Out", there are many prophetic songs.

And Frank Zappa, as a musician, and songwriter, was more original than any Keith Richards riff ever. Freak Out was made to sound like a pop album, because he didn't wish to lose his label's support. The closest he came to a 'sell-out', was a freak out.
