.: Trama :.
Chunga's Revenge is an album by Frank Zappa, released on October 23, 1970. Zappa's first effort of the 1970s marks the first appearance of former Turtles members Flo & Eddie on a Zappa record, and signals the dawn of a controversial epoch in Zappa's history (this era is both hated and loved by Zappa fans in equal measure). Chunga's Revenge represents a shift from both the satirical political commentary of his 1960s work with The Mothers of Invention, and the jazz fusion of Hot Rats.
The material presented on Chunga's Revenge is eclectic; there are two guitar jams ("Transylvania Boogie" and the title track), a bluesy amble ("Road Ladies"), a jazz interlude ("Twenty Small Cigars", culled from the Hot Rats sessions), an Avant-Garde live improvisation (the multi part "The Nancy and Mary Music", which is in truth an excerpt from King Kong), and several poppy numbers ("Tell Me You Love Me", "Would You Go All the Way?", "Rudy Wants to Buy Yez a Drink", "Sharleena"). The vocal tracks all deal with the subject of sex and/or groupie encounters, and, as Zappa notes on the sleeve of both the vinyl and CD, are a preview of the (then forthcoming) 200 Motels film/album. (Parts of this album were intended to grace the film, but did not make the final cut). Several of these tracks (Transylvania Boogie, 20 Small Cigars, The Clap, and the title track) were recorded during either the Hot Rats sessions or during the early 1970 sessions for the follow-up to Hot Rats that never materialized. Other material from those sessions appeared on: Weasels Ripped My Flesh ("Directly From My Heart To You"), Burnt Weeny Sandwich (Sugar Cane Harris solo section of "Little House I Used To Live In"), Zoot Allures (backing track for "Friendly Little Finger"), Studio Tan (backing track for "Let Me Take You To The Beach", and The Lost Episodes (original version of "Sharleena" and possibly "Li'l Clanton Shuffle"). Other "lost" tracks from these sessions include the instrumentals: "Twinkle Tits" and "Bognor Regis" (recently unearthed and showing up on a couple of recent bootlegs).
Supposedly, the title track is a song about a small industrial Gypsy vacuum sweeper.
The title track was later recorded by Parisian tango revival group Gotan Project for their 2001 debut album La Revancha del Tango.
