We're Only In It For The Money  by Frank Zappa

We're Only In It For The Money, released on March 4, 1968, is considered one of the most iconic and caustic works of Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. It combines psychedelic rock, experimental music, orchestral parts, and sound collage. It is the third album of the Mothers and part of Zappa's "conceptual continuity," connected with Lumpy Gravy.

The album is a relentless attack on American culture of the 1960s. Zappa criticizes the hypocrisy of the hippie movement and the "Summer of Love," considering them commercialized and superficial. He attacks both the right and left political scenes, as well as the authoritarianism of the police (e.g., in the song "Mom & Dad"). The original cover was a detailed parody of Sgt. Pepper, with the band members dressed in women's clothing in front of a yellow background. Due to fear of legal repercussions from the Beatles' record company, Verve reversed the cover, placing the parody inside the album and another photo on the outside.

We're Only In It For The Money has been included in the National Recording Registry of the United States Library of Congress due to its cultural and aesthetic significance. The album reached No. 30 on the Billboard chart.
