History Music / BroadwayTheHardWay

* RepurposedPopSong: "Dickie's Such an Asshole" was a song that Zappa's band already played live in 1974, but never appeared on an official Zappa record before.

* DreamTeam: His duet with Sting, covering "Murder By Numbers." It's ''spectacular,'' and arguably better than the original recording by Music/ThePolice (which is already a high bar).

* PrecisionFStrike: Music/{{Sting}}, not particularly known as a profane individual, delivers one at the end of Zappa's introduction to [[Music/ThePolice "Murder By Nubmers"]].
--> It's not in my nature to kick a man when he's down. When I saw the first part of the show I realised I had to come up here and tell you something. Well, four years ago Jimmy Swaggart said this about me: He said "this here song by the Police, 'Murder By Numbers,' was written by SATAN! Performed by the sons of SATAN! BEELZEBUB! LUCIFER! THE HORNED ONE!" ''I wrote the fucking song, alright?''

--> ''I wrote the [[PrecisionFStrike fuckin']] song, awright?''

* GreedyTelevangelist: One of the criticisms of religion that comes up in "Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk" is how TV televangelists tend to manipulate people with religious beliefs into giving them money.

* {{Corpsing}}: "Jezebel Boy" has the band members crack up a few times.

--> "Imagine, if you will, a multimillionaire TV evangelist [[DraftDodging saved from Korean combat duty]] [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections by his father, a U.S. senator]]; studied law, but not qualified to practice it; father of a love child who, in adulthood, [[{{Nepotism}} hosts the remnants of Papa’s religious propaganda program]]; claims not to be a faith healer [[ByNoIMeanYes but has, in the past, dealt sternly with everything from hemorrhoids to hurricanes]]; [[ArmchairMilitary involved with funding for an undeclared war in Central America]], claiming Ronald Reagan and Oliver North as close friends; [[CorruptChurch involved in suspicious tax avoidance schemes under investigation for 16 months by the IRS]]; claims to be a MAN OF GOD, currently seeking the United States Presidency, hoping we will all follow him into... Franchise/TheTwilightZone."

# [[Music/ThePolice "Murder by Numbers"]] (5:37)

--> With a Ku-Klux muu-muu\\

They wanna mess you up, screamin':\\
"No abortion, no-siree!"\\

(What's that hangin' from a neighbor's tree?\\

Would THEY do THAT\\

Seriously?)

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Zappa absolutely annihilates Pat Robertson in “Jesus Thinks You’re a Jerk”:

"Elvis Has Just Left the Building", "Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk", "Dickie's Such an Asshole" and "Hot Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel" have become fan favorites, and Zappa's performance of Music/ThePolice's [[Music/{{Synchronicity "Murder By Numbers"]] with former Police frontman Music/{{Sting}} on lead vocals is generally considered a highlight of both performers' careers.

''Broadway the Hard Way'' is a 1988 LiveAlbum by Music/FrankZappa, taken from his world tour that same year (which also ended up being his last; his diagnosis with terminal pancreatic cancer in 1990 caused him to dial back his live appearances to a considerable extent before his death in 1993). It is notable for being one of his most political, with the majority of tracks tackling the Reagan administration, televangelists, and the Iran-Contra scandal, but also people like UsefulNotes/RichardNixon, Jesse Jackson, Music/ElvisPresley, and Music/MichaelJackson. Compared to the LP release, the CD features eight additional tracks[[note]]"Why Don't You Like Me?", "Bacon Fat", "Stolen Moments", "Murder by Numbers", "Jezebel Boy", "Outside Now", "Hot Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel", and "What Kind of Girl?"[[/note]] and a considerably different running order; given these two factors in combination, both tracklists will be listed here for convenience.. "Elvis Has Just Left the Building", "Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk", "Dickie's Such an Asshole" and "Hot Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel" have become fan favorites.

'''Tracklist'''

The CD version adds "Why Don't You Like Me?", "Bacon Fat", "Stolen Moments", "Murder by Numbers", "Jezebel Boy", "Outside Now", "Hot Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel", and "What Kind of Girl?" as bonus tracks.

'''Personnel'''

** "Bacon Fat" and "Why Don't You Like Me?" both quote from "Billie Jean" by Music/MichaelJackson, from his album ''Music/{{Thriller}}''. The line "He's white, Jim" in "Why Don't You Like Me?" is a reference to "He's dead, Jim", a recurring phrase in ''Series/StarTrek''. The song also mentions Arnold Silvestri, Reagan's UN ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Franchise/{{Star Wars}} character Lando Calrissian.

** "Rhymin' Man" musically quotes from the theme from ''Series/TheTwilightZone'', Music/FryderykChopin's "Funeral March", the theme from ''Series/MissionImpossible'', ''Series/TheUntouchables'', "Mississippi Mud", "Happy Days Are Here Again", "Entry of the Gladiators" by Julius Fucik (which Zappa quoted before during "America Drinks" on ''Music/AbsolutelyFree'' and "The Adventures of Greggery Peccary" on ''Music/StudioTan''), "Hava Nagilah", "Hail to the Chief", "La cucaracha", "Frère Jacques", "My Sharona" and "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum".

** "Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk" quotes from "Louie Louie", "Rock of Ages", Franz von Suppé's "Light Cavalry Overture" and the theme from ''Series/TheTwilightZone''. The line "What's that hangin' from a neighbor's tree? Why, it looks like 'colored folks' to me" is a reference to Music/BillieHoliday's song "Strange Fruit", while "give me that old time religion" references "Moonlight on Vermont" on ''Music/TroutMaskReplica''. For some reason ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}} and CNN journalist Tom Braden are also namedropped.

''Broadway the Hard Way'' is a 1988 LiveAlbum by Music/FrankZappa. It is notable for being one of his most political, with the majority of tracks tackling the Reagan administration, televangelists, the Irangate affair, but also people like UsefulNotes/RichardNixon, Jesse Jackson, Music/ElvisPresley and Music/MichaelJackson. The CD version adds more bonus tracks to the vinyl version. "Elvis Has Just Left The Building", "Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk", "Dickie's Such An Asshole" and "Hot Plate Heaven At The Green Hotel" have become fan favorites.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Several songs are satirical attacks on President UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan, televangelist scandals, Music/ElvisPresley, the Irangate affair, Reverend Jesse Jackson and Music/MichaelJackson. Zappa also mentions a "confinement loaf" in "Any Kind Of Pain" and "When The Lie's So Big". This is a bean by-product that is being administered to problematic prisoners. A ration of a troubled prisoner is a slice of confinement loaf and a glass of water. Apparently, this seems to mellow them down. After explaining this Zappa asks: "How long will it be before confinement loaf will find its way to US high schools?"

** Zappa references the Irangate affair in songs like "The Untouchables", "When the Lie's So Big", "Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk" and "What Kind of Girl" . The Irangate scandal revolved around the UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan administration secretly faciliating the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo. The money was used to fund the Contra rebels in Nicaragua who tried the overthrow the socialist government there. Chief convicts and suspects in the case are namedropped in several of the lyrics, including President UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan, vice president UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush, Ed Meese [[note]] US Attorney General (1985-1988), forced to resign [[/note]], John Poindexter [[note]] National Security Advisor (1985-1986) [[/note]], Oliver North [[note]] Lieutenant-colonel convicted for shredding thousands of government documents detailing transactions and defending these and other felonies in front of US Congress [[/note]], William J. Casey [[note]] Head of the C.I.A. (1981-1987) and Reagan's campaign manager. Died during the Congressional investigations and was used as a scapegoat by other suspects being questioned as a result [[/note]] and Michael Deaver and Lyn Nofziger [[note]] White House assistants, both convicted for trying to cover up the Irangate affair [[/note]].

Hollings from the PMRC hearings and can be heard on "Porn Wars" from ''Music/FrankZappaMeetsTheMothersOfPrevention'', as well as in track "Any Kind Of Pain" on "Broadway The Hardway". The song also mentions a sausage, an object ridiculed before in songs like "The Torture Never Stops" from ''Music/ZootAllures'' and "Dong Work For Yuda" from ''Music/JoesGarage''.

** "The Untouchables" imagines the characters from ''Series/TheUntouchables'' arresting members of the UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan government. Zappa mentioned actors from this TV series before [[note]] , Frank DeKova, Joe De Santis, Bruce Gordon and Herman Rudin [[/note]] in his influences list on ''Music/FreakOut'' (1966).

* CorruptChurch: Televangelists Jimmy Swaggart, Pat Robertson and Jim and Tammy Bakker are targeted in songs like "Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk", "When The Lie's So Big", "Hot Plate Heaven At The Green Hotel", "What Kind Of Girl?" and "Murder By Numbers".

* QuestioningTitle: "Why Don't You Like Me?" and "What Kind Of Girl?"

* ProtestSong: The majority of songs on this album criticize the UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan administration, televangelists and in only two songs Jesse Jackson and Music/MichaelJackson too. Near the end of "Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk" Zappa tells the audience:

* RepurposedPopSong: "Dickie's Such An Asshole" was a song that Zappa's band already played live in 1974, but never appeared on an official Zappa record before.

** "Elvis Has Just Left The Building" refers to Music/ElvisPresley's obesity, his bell-bottom jump-suit on stage and the fact that he gave away Cadillacs to people he just met. The line "so take down the foil from his hotel retreat" refers to the fact that Elvis slept during daytime and had aluminium foil covering the rooms of his walls to have complete darkness in his suite. The title itself is the famous ThatsAllFolks closing statement people would make to let the audience know that the concert was over.
** "Planet Of The Baritone Women" provides a shout-out to "Walk Like An Egyptian" by Music/TheBangles:

** "Rhymin' Man" musically quotes from the theme from ''Series/TheTwilightZone'', Music/FryderykChopin's "Funeral March", the theme from ''Series/MissionImpossible'', ''Series/TheUntouchables'', "Mississippi Mud", "Happy Days Are Here Again", "Entry of The Gladiators" by Julius Fucik (which Zappa quoted before during "American Drinks" on ''Music/AbsolutelyFree'' and "The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary" on ''Music/StudioTan''), "Hava Nagilah", "Hail To The Chief", "La Cucaracha", "Frère Jacques", "My Sharona" and "Hallelujah, I'm A Bum".

The line "What's that hangin' from a neighbor's tree? Why, it looks like 'colored folks' to me" is a reference to Music/BillieHoliday's song "Strange Fruit", while "give me that old time religion" references "Moonlight On Vermont" on ''Music/TroutMaskReplica''. For some reason ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}} and CNN journalist Tom Braden are also namedropped.

** "Why Don't You Like Me?" is full with references to Music/MichaelJackson, including his songs "Bad" and "Dirty Diana" from ''Music/{{Bad}}'' and "Billie Jean" from ''Music/{{Thriller}}''. His changing skin color and smaller nose are addressed ("I thought he looked good -what happened to you?"), his troubling relationship with his parents ("I hate my mother, I hate my father"), his physical resemblance to his sisters [=LaToya=] and Music/JanetJackson ("I AM my sister"), brother Jermaine Jackson, the fact that he was raised a Jehovah's witness ("Please read this pamphlet"), Bubbles the chimpansee and his llama, his Pepsi commercials and the UrbanLegend that he slept in an oxygen tank.

* SpecialGuest: "Murder By Numbers" features an actual guest appearance by Music/{{Sting}}.

** "Elvis Has Just Left The Building" targets Music/ElvisPresley, whose death ten years earlier was commemorated in 1987, while "Why Don't You Like Me?" does the same with Music/MichaelJackson, easily Elvis' successor in terms of success and fame in the 1980s.
** "Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk", "What Kind Of Girl", "When The Lie's So Big", "Hot Plate Heaven At The Green Hotel" and "Murder By Numbers" are all satirical attacks on the sex and corruption scandals revolving around televangelists at the time. Jim and Tammy Bakker were involved in an embezzlement scandal for which Jim was convicted. His secretary Jessica Hahn also accused him of rape. Pat Robertson, whose ties with the ultraconservative Christian fundamentalists in the Republican Party are highly controversial and his very difficult to believe claim that he is not a "faith healer" is referenced too. Jimmy Swaggart was caught with a prostitute twice, a fact referenced in "What Kind Of Girl?" and would be satirized again on ''Music/TheBestBandYouNeverHeardInYourLife'' and ''Music/MakeAJazzNoiseHere''.
** Zappa references the Irangate affair in songs like "The Untouchables", "When The Lie's So Big", "Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk" and "What Kind Of Girl" . The Irangate scandal revolved around the UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan administration secretly faciliating the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo. The money was used to fund the Contra rebels in Nicaragua who tried the overthrow the socialist government there.

Died during the Congressional investigations and was used as a scapegoat by other suspects being questioned as a result [[/note]] and Michael Deaver and Lyn Nofziger [[note]] White House assistants, both convicted for trying to cover up the Irangate affair [[/note]].
** "Hot Plate Heaven At The Green Hotel" also provides a take that towards Reagan's "trickled down" economics and the fact that he ate a lot of jellybeans.

** "Dickies's Such An Asshole" provides a TakeThat towards UsefulNotes/RichardNixon.

--> ''Gave a couple to Pat Boone'' [[note]] American singer and actor (1934), best known for covering black artists' songs and making them acceptal for white audiences. Later in life he became a vocal conservative political commentator. [[/note]]

--> ''An article raised some questions about whether or not Martin Luther King actuallyy died in Jesse's arms. There were reports that Jackson dipped his hands into King's blood or even used chicken blood and rubbed it on his shirt, which we wore for a few days afterward as he met the media. So I did this song about the idea of communicating through nursery rhymes, as Jackson is prone to do. It rubs me the wrong way. I'm not saying that all of Jesse's ideas are bad; I agree with some of them. But I'm not confident that Jesse Jackson would be the person I would look to to implement any of them. I don't want to see any religious people in public office because they're working for another boss.''
** "Promiscuous" attacks US surgeon general C. Everett Koop, whose lectures against anal sex and theories about AIDS and cigarette smoking where contested by Zappa at the time.
** "Murder By Numbers", sang by Music/{{Sting}} starts off with an intro by the singer claiming that televangelist Jimmy Swaggart called the song "Satanic". Sting retorts:
--> ''I wrote the fuckin' song, awright?''
