Apostrophe (') - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (402 words)
Apostrophe (') is an album by Frank Zappa, released on April 22, 1974 in both stereo and quadraphonic formats.
Continuing from the commercial breakthrough of Over-Nite Sensation (1973), this album is a similar mix of short songs showcasing Zappa's humor and musical arrangements.
At this point the album takes an unexpected turn and instead tells of rambunctious antics ("wheedled on the bingo cards in lieu of the latrine") and follows with a scenario in which a leprechaun "stroked it".
