LuisterdocTrack Record: De oorsprong van Valley Girl - Moon & Frank Zappa(Deze podcast kun je niet meer hier beluisteren, maar wel bij Storytel en de bibliotheek) Frank Zappa (1940 - 1993) deed weinig anders dan muziek maken. Voor het vaderschap had hij geen tijd. Toch weet een van zijn dochters hem op een gewiekste manier te verleiden tot een gezamenlijk nummer. Tegen de verwachting in wordt 'Valley Girl' in 1982 Zappa's grootste hit. Dankzij het succes van het nummer en de merchandising er omheen, kan Frank een van de eerste digitale studio's in zijn huis laten installeren en een orkest in Londen inhuren voor zijn orkestrale werk.
