"Find Her Finer" is a 1976 single by Frank Zappa from the album Zoot Allures . The song was recorded with Zappa's lips extremely close to the microphone, creating an intimate sound. [1] Roy Estrada provided falsetto vocals to create a comic effect to the song. It was intended to be the lead single for Zoot Allures, but failed to chart, unlike its other single "Disco Boy". [2] A live and sped up jazz version can also be found on the album The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life . It was played in concert in 1976 and 1988. [3]

Meaning

The song's satirical lyrics suggest that the best way to win a girl over is to show that you are less intelligent than her. [3] His reasoning for this is that women do not care for smart men, but instead a romantic. This parallels the stereotypical belief that men prefer unintelligent women. [1] The songs also metaphorically refers to a clitoris being fingered, extra emphasized by the next track on the album: Friendly Little Finger.
