Baby Snakes (Eng. baby snakes) is the soundtrack of the film of the same name by Frank Zappa, which appeared in 1983 as a picture disc. The photographs were taken from concerts at the Palladium, a rock concert hall in New York that were recorded on Halloween between 28 and 31 October 1977. On the record the title Punky 's Whips first appeared officially. He describes the fictitious latent homoerotic feelings that drummer Terry Bozzio at the sight of a promotional photograph of the lead singer of the band Angel, Punky Meadows, feels. The publication of this piece was actually already provided for the album Zappa in New York (1976 ), but was taken due to legal concerns on the part of the record company Warner Brothers shortly from the album. On that drive, and also piece Titties & Beer was to be found, which is supplemented Baby Snakes to a swipe at just this company.
