Advance Romance

"Advance Romance" is a Frank Zappa song originally from his live album with Captain Beefheart, Bongo Fury.

It is a humorous parody of typical love songs and is sung by Napoleon Murphy Brock with George Duke.

[2] The song describes a low-life world of poverty, heavy drinking ("No more credit from the liquor store"), promiscuity / prostitution, and theft.

The simple structure of the song allowed a lot of improvisation, so a solo from almost any instrument would fit in well.

One solo was named "Jim and Tammy's Upper Room" and was put on Zappa's 1988 instrumental album Guitar.
