The question that comes to me is:
if 'Watermelon' is one of
the three songs he never wanted played in any other media, What are the other
two?

I've
never seen (or heard of) this film, but here's an interesting
snippet
• When the producers tried to buy the rights of Frank
Zappa's "Watermelon in Easter Hay" they were told by Zappa's family that
Zappa requested that three of his songs were never played in any media
except the album where they appear and that song was one of them. Gail
Zappa, Frank's widow, saw the movie when editing was almost completed and
agreed to make an exception because she considered that Zappa would be proud
of the
movie.

I just watched this Mexican movie on a family recommendation. It

interesting, but what I did not expect was Watermelon In Easter Hay
to be
the song played during the end credits, Joe's version. Anybody know
about
this?
-I've never seen the movie myself, but the song being in
it is kind of "old news" for a segment of the fan population. I think the
movie came out in, uh.. 2001, maybe? It was mentioned in and around
alt.fan.frank-zappa prob'ly a whole buncha lotta times since
then.
So, is the film itself any good? What is it actually
about?
