- Got her middle name from the idea that her birth made parents Frank Zappa and Gail Zappa a "family unit".
- Had a hit record "Valley Girl" with her father in 1982. The single helped launch the brief Valley Girl fad of the '80s.
- Her name is parodied in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). Dr. Evil's moon base is divided into two units, "Moon Unit Alpha" and "Moon Unit Zappa".
- Her ex-husband, Paul Doucette, is the drummer with the rock band Matchbox Twenty.
- In 2004, Moon Unit was voted the most bizarrely named celebrity offspring off all time in a poll for Sky TV.
- Gag me with a spoon.
- If I was invited to be on *World's Strictest Parents*, I'd promptly accept. Honestly, that series had it coming!
