''Weasels Ripped My Flesh'' is an Album by Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention , released in 1970 (see 1970 In Music ). Conceptually, the album could be considered phase two of Burnt Weeny Sandwich . Both albums consist of previously unreleased Mothers tracks released after the demise of the original band. Whereas Burnt Weeny Sandwich 's pieces generally have a more rigid and planned feel captured by quality studio equipment, Weasels Ripped My Flesh mostly captures the Mothers on stage, where they employ frenetic and chaotic improvisation characteristic of Avant-garde Free Jazz . The album's infamous closer and title track is nothing more than every man on stage producing as much noise and feedback as they can for two minutes. Interestingly, an audience member is heard yelling for more at its conclusion. The album's title was borrowed from the cover description of a man-versus-beast cover story from the September, 1956 issue of ''Man's Life'', a Men's Adventure magazine. German releases of the album featured an alternate album cover that Zappa did not approve showing a baby caught in a Rat Trap .
