Frank Zappa plays the bicycle on Steve Allen’s TV show

No Comments Music Usability Videoclips

A link from digg took me to YouTube where all kind of wonders can happen.

I found a two part video of a young orchestra composer named Frank Zappa in a TV show from the 60s demonstrating how to play the bicycle.

It is actually a true Zappa-style performance but it is also a lesson on usability, interface and affordances (relationships between actors and objects).

The actual performance starts at the end of Part 1 but Steve Allen’s interview to a shy Zappa before it, is also worth watching.

Watch Part Two on YouTube

Zero. Zilch. None. No commento.

No. No, you can't... STOP. Please don't go away. Please? No one's ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave... if you leave... I just, I remember things better with you. - Dory
