G-Spot Tornado

G-Spot Tornado is a musical track created by Frank Zappa for his album Jazz from Hell in 1986.[1]

History

Zappa testifies before the U.S. Senate, 1985
Testimony continued

G-Spot tornado was written by Frank Zappa, he thought that the composition was so difficult to play that it could not possibly be performed by a human, therefore he initially recorded the song using a Synclavier DMS. Zappa was later proven wrong when the song was performed live on The Yellow Shark.

Parental advisory label

G-Spot tornado was released at the time when the RIAA introduced the Parental Advisory, and therefore the discs were forced to have a parental advisory even when none of the album's tracks had lyrics, but rather due to the song's title which mentioned the G-Spot, the female erogenous zone, an area of the vagina that when stimulated, may lead to strong sexual arousal, powerful orgasms and potential female ejaculation.[2]

Zappa went to the Parents Music Resource Center Senate Hearing, a former committee formed in 1985 by the wives of many Deputies with the stated goal of increasing parental control over children's access to music deemed to have violent, drug-related or sexual themes by labeling albums with Parental Advisory stickers. Zappa spoke with William Rehnquist (then Chief Justice of the United States), justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Clarence Thomas, and Al Gore, who declared himself a fan of The Mothers of Invention.[3]

The Yellow Shark

G-Spot tornado was part of Zappa's last album The Yellow Shark interpreted this time by human musicians at Ensemble Modern in Frankfurt, Germany, with participation of Canadian Dancer Louise Lecavalier.[4]
