Described by American Songwriter as a "compositional genius," Zappa is known for writing songs offering sage advice ("Don't Eat The Yellow Snow") to astute cultural critiques ("Valley Girl" and "Trouble Every Day"), disco satire ("Dancin' Fool") to serious orchestral compositions ("The Perfect Stranger" and "Strictly Genteel"). Under the new agreement, UMPG acquires Zappa's complete publishing catalog including "Watermelon In Easter Hay," "Cosmik Debris," "Peaches En Regalia," "Uncle Remus," "Joe's Garage" and hundreds more. With the acquisition, which additionally includes Frank Zappa's name and likeness, Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), UMG's global catalog company, and Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), the company's leading music publisher, will build on the company's already successful track record of working with the Zappa Trust to amplify Frank Zappa's career as a trailblazer, iconoclast, brilliant musician and fearless artist who challenged music and culture with his unconventional and uncompromising vision and advocacy.
