 In Ellen Oumano's ''[[Movies For A Desert Isle]]'' (1987), Zappa said: ''"In the case of [[The World's Greatest Sinner]], the guy who produced it didn't like one piece of music I'd written, so he took an album of the London Philharmonic doing 'The Planets' by Gustav Holst, had it transferred to 35 mm, didn't even get a license, and stuck it in the movie in the place where he wanted it. He didn't give any credit in the film, so I've got my name on it as the composer on the picture. I got this big shock when I went to the premiere and suddenly there was "Mars, the Bringer of War, da-da-da-da" coming out in this one scene."''

 A snippet from ''"Jupiter: Bringer of Jollity"'' from Holst's "The Planets" can be heard at the start of Zappa's track ''[[Invocation & Ritual Dance Of The Young Pumpkin]]'' on ''[[Absolutely Free]]'' (1967).
