Touch Me There
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Touch Me There is a 1979 album recorded by Lakshminarayana Shankar (credited as "Shankar") and produced by Frank Zappa, who wrote all of the lyrics and cowrote the instrumental No More Mr. Nice Girl.
The lyrics for the album's opening track, Dead Girls Of London were originally supposed to be sung by Van Morrison, but since Morrison was signed to the Warner Bros. Records record label (whom Zappa was suing over his proposed 4-LP album Läther), Zappa was unable to release the song with Morrison's vocals, and so they were re-recorded (this early version did appear on Frank Zappa bootlegs, such as Another Cheap Aroma). [1]
In the final version of the song, the lyrics are sung by Zappa and collaborator Ike Willis. Vicky Blumenthal provides the chorus on Dead Girls Of London, Knee-Deep In Heaters, and No More Mr. Nice Girl, while Jenny Lautrec sings the lyrics to the album's title track, Touch Me There, and Shankar himself sings the lyrics to the album's final track, Knee-Deep In Heaters.
The album was reissued on CD by Barking Pumpkin Records in 1992.
