28 | !! Sweet and Tender Tropes: |
29 | * CoversAlwaysLie: The bizarre clock doesn't provide any helpful answer when the person will be back from lunch? It's not even clear whether it's actually in the middle of the afternoon. |
30 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: The album cover. |
31 | * EpicRocking: ''Every single song.'' |
32 | * IconicOutfit: "Hat and Beard", which were Thelonious Monk's visual trademarks. |
33 | * LetsDuet: "Something Sweet, Something Tender" is a duet between Richard Davis on bass and Dolphy on bass clarinet. |
34 | * LighterAndSofter: "Something Sweet, Something Tender" |
35 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: For such a casual album title it's surely an impressive and exciting piece of art. |
36 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: "Hat and Beard" was inspired by bearded hat wearer Thelonious Monk and "Gazzelloni" by flautist Severino Gazzelloni. |
37 | * ShoutOut: Music/FrankZappa's "The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue" from ''Music/WeaselsRippedMyFlesh'' is a {{Homage}} to Dolphy, who was also listed in Zappa's influences list in the sleeve notes of his album ''Music/FreakOut'' (1966). Zappa also namedrops ''Out to Lunch'' in the lyrics of "Oh No" on ''Weasels Ripped My Flesh''. |
38 | --> ''I think you're probably out to lunch''. |
39 | * TitleTrack: "Out to Lunch". |
