Trivia / Läther

• Corpsing:
  • After "For the Young Sophisticate" ends Zappa is heard chuckling: "Sick..."
  • When Zappa asks Bozzio about his pickle in "Titties 'n Beer" Bozzio cracks up.
  • Ray White stumbles over his words near the end of "The Legend of the Illinois Enema Bandit"
  Ain't talking about beheaded-tated Bobby... haha... try again... Potato Headed Bobby.
• Real Life Writes the Plot:
  • As "Punky's Whips" describes, Terry Bozzio was indeed fascinated by a publicity photo of Punky Meadows, pouting his lips. Michael Kenyon, the criminal who gave his victims enemas, was arrested in 1975 around Chicago. Zappa and his band first heard of him on their car radio and were immediately amazed that such a bandit would exist. Kenyon's notoriety was enough to have a 1976 erotic thriller called "Water Power" to be based on his life. The Cinema Snob reviewed it in 2014 and even used a snippet from Zappa's song during the opening credits. Though it must be said that the courtroom scenes in "Illinois Enema Bandit" didn't happen in real life.
  • The peccary actually exists, living in Central and South America and the southern parts of North America. Technically speaking they're not actually pigs, but are very closely related to them.
• Throw It In!: The version on this album of "Honey Don't You Want A Man Like Me?" has a delightful piece of audience interaction, during a very brief pause in the music:
  Heckler: FUCK YOU, ZAPPA!
  Zappa: And fuck you too, buddy, you know what I mean? Fuck you very much!
