“Touring can make you crazy,” says Frank Zappa, and so can 200 Motels. Zappa's self-proclaimed “surrealistic documentary” finds the Mothers of Invention stranded in Centerville, a cardboard cut-out of mediocre America, comprising a boutique, a bar called Redneck Eats, a concert hall, and a motel just like the 199 others where they've stayed. “A real nice place to raise your kids up,” perhaps, but peel back the paint and it's a bawdy bedlam of rednecks, groupies, and rock stars. When Zappa isn't played by a dummy, we get Ringo Starr as Larry the Dwarf, a Zappa lookalike. The Who's drummer, Keith Moon, stars as a cross-dressing nun who's got some bad habits. And then there's acid-tongued Flo and Eddie, our corked-up choirboys. Twenty-five wildly incendiary songs are performed, including “This Town Is a Sealed Tuna Sandwich,” “Half a Dozen Provocative Squats,” “Penis Dimension,” and “Lonesome Cowboy Burt.” 200 Motels is no Best Western-it'll keep you up at night.
