Weasels Ripped My Flesh is the seventh studio album by the American rock band the Mothers of Invention, and the tenth overall by Frank Zappa, released in 1970. It is the second album released after the Mothers disbanded in 1969, preceded by Burnt Weeny Sandwich. In contrast to its predecessor, which almost entirely focused on studio recordings of arranged compositions, Weasels Ripped My Flesh consists of a combination of live and studio recordings and features more improvisation.

Weasels Ripped My Flesh - 2 minutes of feedback that ends with some strange noises and eventually a farewell bid from Frank Zappa himself.

Weasels Ripped My Flesh" starts with a jazz piece "Didja Get Any Onya?", which introduces the elements of complex rhythms, free jazz wanderings and atavistic bellowing, which are all strongly present on many tracks of this album. Following blues calms the storm for a while, but soon the music returns to the avant-garde straits. Apart from the wonderful double-set, "Uncle Meat", this was the most difficult listening album ever released by the Mothers of Invention. This is basically an compilation, with the majority being recorded live, of various Mothers performances from 67 to 69 which ended up being titled "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" and was actually the last release before the first era of the group disbanded.
