“Long Haired Freaky People” is a song written by Frank Zappa and released on the 1967 album Absolutely Free. The lyrics are nonsensical and feature surreal imagery, such as “freaks with pigtails down to their knees” and “dancing naked in the rain.” Despite its strange lyrics, the song became a hit single and helped to establish Zappa as a counterculture icon.
The song has been interpreted in many different ways, but Zappa himself has said that it is simply a “nonsense song.” However, some critics have suggested that the song is a satire of the hippie counterculture, while others have seen it as a celebration of individuality and self-expression.
