Inca Roads (song)
"Inca Roads" is the opening track of the Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention 1975 album, ''One Size Fits All''. The song features unusual time signatures, lyrics and vocals, and is one of the first Zappa songs to use xenochrony. The marimba-playing of Zappa's percussionist Ruth Underwood is featured prominently. The song was played in concert from 1973 to 1974, 1979 and 1988.〔http://www.allmusic.com/song/inca-roads-mt0010977420〕
==Themes==
"Inca Roads" for the most part explores the stereotypes of aliens encountering the Incan civilization. These themes, like the album cover of One Size Fits All seem to parody the spirituality of many progressive rock albums around the same era. The lyrics "Did a vehicle come from somewhere out there, just to land in the Andes? Was it round and did it have a motor or was it something different?" imply that a UFO is landing in the Andes mountains. As the song progresses, the lyrics become sillier and seem to mock the beginning of the song. An example of this is "...or did someone build a place or leave a space for Chester's thing to land (Chester's thing... on Ruth). Did a booger-bear come from somewhere out there..." The non-serious nature of these lyrics and even the music itself seem to be mocking other progressive rock bands and their possibly forced divine depth.〔http://www.metrolyrics.com/inca-roads-lyrics-frank-zappa.html〕〔http://books.google.com/books?id=uAYfqgGf4yYC&pg=PA119&lpg=PA119&dq=%22inca+roads%22++zappa&source=bl&ots=VI5zjR0GVM&sig=5NrYC2HaKYUiXETux6jgqPWZF7A&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vuxBUPeQGeHd0QH57IDICw&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22inca%20roads%22%20%20zappa&f=false〕〔http://books.google.com/books?id=uAYfqgGf4yYC&pg=PA120&dq=%22time+signatures%22+%22inca+roads%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9E_NUPnPLebC0QHDioDQCA&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22time%20signatures%22%20%22inca%20roads%22&f=false〕
