Biography:
Frank Vincent Zappa (born December 21, 1940 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States – December 4, 1993 in Los Angeles, California, United States) was an American composer, guitarist, singer, bandleader and producer. He was one of the most prolific musicians of his time, releasing over fifty albums of original material spanning over a thirty-five year career.
Zappa's earliest influences were 1950s pop and rock (such as doo-wop and rhythm and blues), and 20th-century classical composers including Igor Stravinsky and Edgard Varèse.

Song : Yo Cats (3:34)
Album: FZ Meets the Mothers of Prevention (#44, 11/21/85)
4/4, Key of F (usually)
This is a cool piece about the music biz and FZ's impression of session
players. This is a fun song to play so if you've never heard it dig up
a copy of FZMMP, well worth it with some excellent, short Synclavier comps.
Some of the chord in this one are questionable. Especially the C/F/Ami/Dmi.
I played with this one a lot before I settled on those chords. Some other
options include G/F/C/Dmi and C/Bb/Ami/G. The B/F#/C#/G... section is
also very weird. These chords work with the melody but harmonically aren't
the greatest in the song (unless you like that sorta thing :0) If you
find alternates let me know.
This song has subjective chords because the progressions are implied
by the melody only. There are no clear chord parts being played.
