Fans need no introduction, others can read the extensive Wikipedia entry. My own experience with his genius is this.
Although I was born in 1953, and experienced the music and culture of the 60s and 70s like everybody else of my generation, I somehow never got into Zappa or Beefheart. My friends and I were into other things, Jimi, Janice, The Doors and a little bit later, The Yes Group and Queen. 35 years passed in the blink of an eye and one day in 2009 I discovered the Zappadan Festival. That prompted a full immersion in the many albums of FZ, which as everyone knows can keep one very busy for a very long time. Naturally this activity led me to Captain Beefheart. I've never been the same since, music appreciation-wise.
Hot Head is the first cut on Doc at the Radar Station
She can burn you up in bed
Just like she said
Cos she's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
She can throw uh pot t'show (?)
She can start a fire aglow
Cos she's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
She puts her head into the fire
Makes you red hot perspire
Cos she's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
She was burnt before she was born
Burnin' up a storm
Cos she's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
Lick out like flame
'n' burn you to a shame
'n' bite the burnin' flame
Things are burnin' big
She's a red hot pig
She's a hobo wire toaster
She's a circle on a spit
She's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
She can stitch you to a wheel
Take you to her fire
'n' spin you round 'n' round
Boy, you take you down
Fire Fire Fire
She's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
Burn you up in bed
Just like she said
Cos she's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
She can lick out like a flame
Burn you to a shame
Yeah, bite a burnin' flame
She can burn you up in bed
Coil you up instead
Cos she's a Hot Head, Hot Head, Hot Head
She can throw uh pot t'show (?)
She can start a fire aglow
