FZ: "The Return Of The Hunchback Duke" is a combination of various things from old records. There's some stuff from Burnt Weeny Sandwich, mostly from side two, "Little House I Used To Live In", and it ends with "Cruising For Burgers" from the Uncle Meat record.

Yeah.

FZ: One, two, three, one, two . . .
