Sick as a dog yesterday and completely flaked out which led to me having a real life flounce. Brilliant.

I must confess to not really having an opinion.

Which means it must be done exceptionally well and have some other redeeming quality to allow for the fact that humour moves on quickly and that what was funny 10 years ago is not funny today.

But then, I am a cretin.
Actually bollocks - 'Mexican Americans' and 'Save the Whales' both stand up today as hilarious.
I cannot fucking stand Frank Zappa though - he really was not funny at all, but was utterly convinced of his own wit. Cunt.

But his music was generally great. Particularly the earlier Mothers albums, I'm less keen on the later more noodling stuff he did.

Smart-arse jazz-rock bollocks.
I used to have 'We're only in it for the money' but I never really liked it, if I'm honest.

We're Only In It For The Money is actually one of my favourites. Freak Out and Absolutely Free have some good garage rock moments, but if you are not of fan of his other big influences (Stravinsky, Varese, Doo-Wop, etc.) which he combines in equal measures with the garage sound, along with his "unique" humour then it is probably quite annoying.
