Quote Summary
This quote by Frank Zappa highlights the challenges of musical composition. It suggests that there are instances where traditional musical chords may not adequately convey an artist's intended message. In such situations, artists may need to think outside the box and rely on unconventional ideas or imagery to express themselves. The imagery of a giraffe filled with whipped cream represents the need to embrace unique and unexpected approaches to creativity.
