The Zutons mixed up the order of the words, presumably to throw people off the scent of easily the best version of Valerie. That featured on the album Burnt Weeny Sandwich by Zappa and the Mothers. In this 1969 version Frank does it for real i.e. no pisstakes, parodies or anything else. Frank could play in any style and on this version he opens with wah wah guitar and then relaxes into a very slow almost somnolent version. Try it and I hope you like it.
Sorry Zil, I'm not a big Zappa fan, in fact I would go as far as saying that I really did not like Zappa at all. He could play the **** out of the guitar but for me thats all I can say good about him. Sorry mate.
