A French Whipping

Detective James Barton (Frank Brana) come to the castle of Count Dartmoor (George Rigaud), a scientist and archaeologist who tells a terrible story about the discovery of an ancient mummy and the discovery of a scroll that reveals the strange preservation process he was subjected to. When Barton enters the castle Count Dartmoon is viciously whipping a severed hand that is chained to the wall. Barton presents himself as an Egyptologist, but you cannot fool Dartmoon who reads the mind of the detective. We the viewers are then thrust into one flashback after another as we learn of the horrible secrets of the mummy and his need for young girls to quench his "thirst".

As Frank Zappa was focusing more on his computer and orchestral music in 1985-1986, he put together an album and a video of live material from his then-last tour from 1984. Does Humor Belong in Music? was released in January 1986, in Europe and Japan only. In 1995, Ryko issued it for the first time in the U.S. (a reissue for the rest of the world) with a thorough remix, new cover artwork, and a different edit of "Let's Move to Cleveland" (adding one extra minute). Asking the title question is answering it, at least when Zappa is concerned. It expresses a way for him to get back at music critics who despised his stage antics and scatological humor in the early '80s – from a man who was trying to affirm himself as a "serious" composer.
