"My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama" is a song written by Frank Zappa and originally recorded by The Mothers of Invention in 1969. The song was included on 1970's "Weasels Ripped My Flesh", a compilation LP of sorts that included various recordings by the band from 1967 to 1969. It was also released as a single on the Bizarre and Reprise labels as "My Guitar". Despite the more conventional naming, "My Guitar" did not chart.

The single version of the song was recorded in June 1969 and differs from the "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" recording. The album version features a longer break before the second verse is reprised, and is roughly half a minute longer.

"The Central Scrutinizer", the spoken-word track that opens Act I of "Joe's Garage", began life as an updated version of "My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama". Each of the songs' progressions of chords are identical. [ [http://pweb.netcom.com/~bigear/Zappa.html#Joe's%20Garage Zappa ] ]
