FZ band alum Mike Keneally pulls off an amazing rendition of "The Jazz Discharge Party Hats". This tune, originally from Frank's "The Man From Utopia" album involved pairing a live acapella of Frank's with a guitar track written & played by Steve Vai, as transcribed by Vai from every syllable of Frank's vocal. The result being the studio version on the album.
In the above video, Mike Keneally is performing both parts. Anyone familiar with the album cut will appreciate Keneally right away. That album also featured "The Dangerous Kitchen", another lyric-vocal-guitar pairing written & produced in the same manner.

"...(Some of you might think this is weird. . .
No wonder.
It's not exactly normal, but
What the f*uc*k?)
So, they're snorting it ...
(Hey! It's the twentieth century . . .
Whatever you can do to have a good time, let's get on with it,
So long as it doesn't cause a murder . . .)..." Frank Zappa
