Muffin Man is a song recorded live by Frank Zappa. It appears on his 1975 mostly live album Bongo Fury. The song begins with studio recorded spoken word lyrics delivered by Zappa and is followed by the chorus. Directly after this, a lengthy guitar solo is performed and a repeat of the chorus with backing vocals from Captain Beefheart.
The song closes the album, as well as the compilation Strictly Commercial, and was also used as a finale in concerts for many years afterwards.
