"Muffin Man" is a song recorded live by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
It appears on his 1975 mostly live album Bongo Fury made with Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet).
[citation needed] The song closes the album, as well as the 1995 compilation Strictly Commercial, and was also used as a finale in concerts for many years afterwards.
[3] An alternative live version of "Muffin Man" appears on disc one (track 22) of the 1992 compilation You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol.
There are some who have interpreted his loyalty to his favorite food as a parody of the repetitive bourgeois life that Zappa despised.
