    Frank Zappa's "Jazz from Hell" was hit with a parental advisory lyric wowser warning even though the album is completely instrumental. Just goes to show that the people who hand out the labels (and, by extension, the people who think they are a good idea and demand them in the first place) don't know their arses from their elbows.

    The real WTF is that morgano doesn't know his music. D Minor would very very rarely have F sharps in it, since the key of D minor has a B flat and a C sharp.

    As for parental advisory, I think that any red-blooded American parent would want to know if their kids are sissy nancies who want to listen to clbuttical music.

    I suspect that's probably due to the track "G-Spot Tornado". Of course, given the way Frank & Tipper Gore locked horns over the PMRC stuff, I can see her declaring a blanket condemnation of anything he ever did. Her loss.

    Wow. We can't seem to go a day without a pretentious "real WTF" comment. Way to kill a joke by pointing out the "technical inaccuracies."

    While "Partita for Violin solo no 2 in D minor, BWV 1004" doesn't resolve to a D major chord, most of Bach's "minor" works that I've studied end with a resolution to major... i.e., F# would be in the final cadence.

    The US "Parental Advisory" sticker is a volutary program, not required by law. It's likely that Frak Zappa's label put the sticker on there to help sell albums. I'm sure that's why Rap CDs have them. Teens love rebellion.

  • espinafre (unregistered)

    I think it was thus labeled because "conne" means cunt in French.

    I agree, take a "Sing along with Winnie the Pooh" and slap an explicit lyrics sticker on it, and it will hit the top 100 in the teen crowd.

    Of course there is Tigger bouncing around all the time hopped up on XTC, Kanga the un-wed mother, and Piglet the closet homosexual. What's not to love?

  • Salvador G. Jr. (unregistered)

    I think it was labeled as such because of the way he is holding the violin. It really gave the wrong idea as to what "playing" the violin meant.

  • chaosmosis (unregistered)

    I don't see what the problem is. The violin is the devil's instrument thus the warning. pshaww!

  • Maarten Sneep (unregistered)

    Come on, this is just a last ditch attempt to get children interested in classical music. (see who gets this one).

    The Zappa album was probably labeled because of the title 'G-Spot Tornado' on that album (great piece by the way, even better on the Yellow Shark). Given that is was released after 'Frank Zappa meets the mothers of prevention' makes the label double ironic.

    Ligeti's opera "Le Grand Macabre" could very legitimately be given a parental advisory sticker.

    In one scene, two ministers insult each other alphabetically, starting with "Asslicker, asskisser" and then working their way crudely through the alphabet.

    In another scene, after a woman engages in some S&M with her husband, she asks God to give her one wish, a well-hung man. Death arrives and declares that her wish has been granted.

    "Please, not the whip!" "Well, then, kiss me!" "I'd rather the whip."

    C is natural in D minor.

    To Robbie and anyone else who corrected me, the C-Sharp will be in any harmonic minor key, of which Bach's Chaconne would have employed (minor keys in the baroque period practically always employed a raised 7th. An unraised seventh is used in more modern music, or in traditional/folk/pre-renaissance music)

    Addendum (2007-06-12 14:01): Edit to add: yes, though, an F-sharp may appear in the final cadence...but being that it's a solo violin, I would imagine that there wouldn't be more than one, hence "those f sharps" would still be inaccurate.

    The parental advisory was mildly amusing, but Jake's comments had me laughing until the tears ran.
