Comments:

FZ in the liner notes of Freak Out!:

Is carefully designed to suck the 12 year old listener into aour camp. I like the piano and xylophone accompaniment in the second chorus. It is cheerful. It is harmless. Wooly Bully. Little Richard says he likes it.

Touring versions from Foggy G's We're Only In It For The Touring:

1974 (May)
Essentially performed as on "Unmitigated Audacity" from Beat the Boots Volume I, with Brock on vocals.
1974 (Jul-Dec)
Another leftover from the "Ten Years of Mothers" tour. This was essentially played as on "Unmitigated Audacity" from Beat the Boots volume one, allowing for obvious differences in instrumentation.

Conceptual Continuity:

The Heat:

• Trouble Every Day? ("Chokin' in the heat")
• Son Of Suzy Creamcheese
• Downtown Talent Scout
