"Let's Make the Water Turn Black" is a song by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, released on their 1968 album "We're Only in It for the Money"2. The song is known for its quirky lyrics and psychedelic rock style. It tells the true story of brothers Ronald and Kenneth Williams, who were Zappa's neighbors in Ontario, California, during the early 1960s2. The song describes their various childhood antics and activities. The lyrics also touch on the brothers' adult lives, mentioning that Ronnie joined the military and Kenny was "taking pills". The song's title refers to the brothers' process of fermenting raisins to produce alcohol.
Musically, the track features Zappa's characteristic blend of experimental rock and satirical lyrics. An instrumental version of the song appears on the 1991 live album "Make a Jazz Noise Here."
The song has become a fan favorite and has been covered by various artists in tribute albums. It showcases Zappa's unique songwriting style, combining humor, social commentary, and unconventional subject matter.
