| B-side | "Zoot Allures" |
Find Her Finer is a 1976 single by Frank Zappa from the album Zoot Allures. The song was recorded with Zappa's lips extremely close to the microphone, creating an intimate sound.[1] Roy Estrada provided falsetto vocals to create a comic effect to the song. It was intended to be the lead single for Zoot Allures, but failed to chart, unlike it's other single Disco Boy.[2] A live and sped up jazz version can also be found on The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life. It was played in concert in 1976 and 1988. [3]
Meaning
According to the song, Zappa feels the best way to win a girl over is to show that you're less intelligent than her. [4]His reasoning for this is that women do not care for smart men, but instead a romantic. This parallel's the stereotypical belief that men prefer un-intelligent women. [5]
