In a nutshell, the key difference between Zappa and the majority of modern musical 'artistes' is that Zappa straddled the difficult middle ground between populist and avant garde. The fact he dressed it up with silly lyrics is secondary - and even he admitted this on several occasions.
I always like to think of Uncle Frank as a kind of cross between a dynamic conductor (wild hair, funny 'tache, big nose) and a circus ringleader (wild hair, funny 'tache, big nose). His main instrument was the orchestra, he just had a rather unusual combination of instruments in it.
