Are You Hung Up?

Are You Hung Up?

"Are You Hung Up?" is the opening track on the 1968 album "We're Only in It for the Money" by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention.

Song Structure

"Are You Hung Up?" is a short montage of dialogue and musique concrete lasting 1 minute and 25 seconds in length. It includes stuttering hippie vocals by Eric Clapton, "Uh, out of sight. Are, are you hung up?", engineer Gary Kellgren whispering about Frank Zappa's mighty, omniscient presence in the control room, a brief guitar lick and Jimmy Carl Black saying "Hi, boys and girls, I'm Jimmy Carl Black and I'm the Indian of the group." This statement, a catch-phrase used frequently by Black in concert, resurfaces on later recordings by the original Mothers of Invention.
