“Bobby Brown (Goes Down)“ is a song by Frank Zappa released on his album Sheik Yerbouti in 1979. One of his best known songs, it was hugely successful in Europe. The song describes a wealthy, misogynist student named Bobby Brown, “the cutest boy in town”, whose life is the archetypical American Dream until a traumatic sexual encounter with “Freddie”, a lesbian involved in the women’s liberation movement, leaves him questioning his sexuality. He eventually turns gay and by the end of the song is a self-described “sexual spastic” involved in golden showers and S&M, for which he thanks Fred. Read on...
