LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This year marks the 40th anniversary of "Valley Girl," Frank Zappa's sardonic, GRAMMY®-nominated Top 40 hit co-written with and featuring his then teenage daughter Moon Unit Zappa offering up the "totally bitchin'" local slang of the day over a gonzo riff set to an energetic beat. Released in 1982, the satirical track – which poked fun at the teen culture of Southern California's San Fernando Valley – became the innovative artist's biggest hit in the U.S. and inadvertently popularized "Valspeak" across the nation while capturing the zeitgeist of the day.

Key Points: 
  • Inspired by '80s cartoons, the animated video is chock full of Easter Eggs from across Zappa's peerless and prolific career.
  • When 14-year-old Moon first approached Frank Zappa about a collaboration, her only goal was to spend more time with her legendary father.
  • Adding additional instrumentation from bassist Scott Thunes, plus a sardonically catchy chorus, Frank Zappa unwittingly created an anthem for the early '80s.
  • Moon looks forward to the new ways people will connect with the iconic character she created that the world continues to love.
