Foggy G, "The Songs That Were Played," We're Only In It For The Touring

1968: Essentially performed as on "Ahead of Their Time"- the instrumental version.

1974: Essentially performed as on "Unmitigated Audacity" from Beat the Boots Volume I.

1975: Funky! A whole different arrangement, with a rollicking funk beat. The music is set up in your standard verse/chorus format, with some extra ooh's and aah's, and a musical bridge segueing either into a short Duke or Frank solo after the second chorus. As the solo peters out, the music enters this repetitive yet interesting funk groove, which gradually fades in volume and leads us to the next tune. Quite a shame this one never got released. Even Brock's vocals- which were frequently annoying by this stage in his Zappa career- were all right on this piece. One of the reasons why everyone needs to track down a tape from this tour.

1988: Essentially performed as on MAJNH- the instrumental version- and always performed as part of the Big Medley.
