Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch, pubblicato nel 1982, è il decimo album in studio di Frank Zappa.

Il disco

Il titolo dell'album tradotto in italiano significa: Nave che arriva troppo tardi per salvare una strega che annega e prende il nome da un Droodle di Roger Price richiamato anche nel titolo e nel testo del primo brano della seconda facciata. Il disco fu registrato tra l'Estate del 1981 e gli inizi del 1982[1]. Le tracce-base di alcuni brani (sicuramente Drowning Witch e Teen-age Prostitute) furono incise durante alcune esibizioni dal vivo effettuate da Zappa e soci tra il settembre e il dicembre 1981[1]. Questo lavoro è divenuto famoso principalmente per la presenza del pezzo Valley Girl, con testi e voce di Moon Unit Zappa, figlia all'epoca quattordicenne di Frank, dove vengono citati e stereotipati alcuni modi di dire tipici dello slang giovanile parlato nella San Fernando Valley in California[2]. Tale pezzo è storicamente conosciuto per essere stato l'unico singolo di Frank Zappa ad entrare nella Top 40 di Billboard[3].
