Track #18 is a song called "Mother People". You would think it's a song about Zappa's group, but Mother
is never mentioned in the song. (Hear the complete song at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWFu7N4jknw .) Instead, Zappa and the boys sing:
We are the other people (x3)
You're the other people, too.
And then in the most important passage of the song, they have one of the band do a John Lennon sound-alike to the lyrics:
Let me take a minute and tell you my plan,
Let me take a minute and tell who I am.
If it doesn't show,
Then you better know:
I'm another person.
Frank Zappa knew.
