Duration: 2:24.Frank Zappa’s song “America Drinks and Goes Home” is a satirical take on the culture of American drinking habits. The song is from Zappa’s album Absolutely Free, which was released in 1967. In the song, Zappa uses his signature mix of tongue-in-cheek humor and biting social commentary to poke fun at the country’s binge-drinking culture.The song follows a group of bar-goers as they drink their way through the night, with each verse featuring a different character or set of characters. The characters range from a woman who “wants to dance until she drops” to a group of sailors who “just wanna get high”. Through his lyrics, Zappa paints a vivid picture of the nightlife scene in America, poking fun at the characters’ over-the-top behavior and lack of restraint. The song’s chorus repeats the phrase “America drinks and goes home”, which serves as a commentary on the country’s tendency to consume alcohol in excess. The phrase also serves as a warning about the potential dangers of over-drinking. Despite its serious message, “America Drinks and Goes Home” is still an enjoyable listen. Its jazzy melody and upbeat tempo make it a perfect choice for any night out.
