Yes, most of you are correct, this is one of the pieces from the never released 2nd Hot Rats LP sessions from early 1970. Amongst the other gems from the sessions were: Twinkle Tits, Chunga's Revenge, Transylvania Boogie, Bognor Regis, The Clap, and the backing tracks for Friendly Little Finger (Zoot Allures) and Let Me Take You To The Beach (Studio Tan).
A wohle lot of Mr. Zappas Albums regardless of the names have different tracks, (his of course) that totally change the tone my the album, My 'Them or us' from the 90s would be different from you schools from the 70s. I love em all, sooner or later he busts out the sickness in like every song!
@meangene408: We are different generations off Zappa listener I think. I mean, my fist FZ album was Overnight sensation, and Roxy & Elsewhere, I mostly never listen to Zappa after ”Sheik Yerbouti” (with exception), and that album is kind of included in ”not listen to”. But of course I have them all. And I hate ”Them or us ”, I really really dislike it. I guess that your first contact with Zappa is after the “1979” line? (record release year, not if you are young or old.)
@0214hjalle I don't have all his albums and i wouldn't say i have heard them all either but i like the fact that "them or us" is quite a varied album, Jazz, Reggae, 50's doo-wop. It has a wee bit of everything (same as this one) and i like the daft songs like "baby take your teeth out" and "Be in my video". I think they take away from the very serious nature that a lot of Zappa (and Cpn BH) fans take on in his music.
This must be the Hot Rats Band, and Don Sugarcane Harris in sparkling form, vocally and with his violin. I recognised a few of his favourite licks from Hot Rats and Burnt Weeny Sandwich.

The guitar solo in this song gets me every time. I can't believe the clarity in this recording. It's so perfect!
