Herbert Manfred "Zeppo" Marx (February 25, 1901 – November 30, 1979) was an American film star, musician, engineer,[citation needed] theatrical agent and businessman. He was the youngest of the five Marx Brothers. He appeared in the first five Marx Brothers feature films, from 1929 to 1933, but then left the act to start his second career as an engineer and theatrical agent. Zeppo Marx was a multi-millionaire due to his engineering efforts.
There are different theories to where Zeppo got his stage name: Groucho said in his Carnegie Hall concert in 1972 that the name was derived from the Zeppelin airship. Zeppo's ex-wife Barbara Sinatra repeats this in her 2011 book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life with Frank. His brother Harpo offers a different account in his 1961 autobiography, Harpo Speaks!, claiming (p. 130) that there was a popular trained chimpanzee named Mr. Zippo, and that "Herbie" was tagged with the name "Zippo" because he liked to do chinups and acrobatics, as the chimp did in its act. The youngest brother objected to this nickname, and it was altered to "Zeppo."

My hands still bound together
Why can't we just exist, in a world so pretentious
Bleak horizons bleed disdain
For a mind so determined to reach the sky
On the wings of a dream
Why won't you fade away
Into nothing
Why won't you fade away
Into nothing
In this day and age of zeppo's and of slaves
You have been here forever
Anger and impatience always seem to burn
Your vapid sense of life, it breeds you deep into your fear
Why won't you fade away
Into nothing
Why won't you fade away
Into nothing
Now we stand before you baring all our souls
From within this living darkness
Have you no idea what it takes
To create what we are living
Every moment wrought with despair and elation
We will never be easily stopped!
Why won't you fade away
Into nothing
Why won't you fade away
Into nothing
Lingering in darkness, wading through my fears
My hands still bound together
Why can't we just exist, in a world so pretentious
Bleak horizons bleed disdain
For a mind so determined to reach the sky
