Appearing in 1975 in One Size Fits All, the nineteenth Frank Zappa’s album with Mothers of Invention, Sofa is produced in two versions, an instrumental one (No. 1) and a second one (No. 2) with English and German lyrics. The track is a passionate ode to man’s best friend (yes, the sofa), sung by his owner.

Ich bin der dreck unter deinen walzen
Ich bin dein geheimer schmutz
Und verlorenes metallgeld

I am the filth under your rollers
I am the secret dirt
And the lost coins

A special mention to Tom Fowler’s fretless bass guitar, it just gives the perfect ambience.
