+* [[Ruthie-Ruthie]]: The song recalls a story of [[Ruth Underwood]] being ill, and ordering room service.  Upon placing the tray outside her door, a man forced his way into her room, and she promptly kicked him in the balls. Frank Zappa recounted the story in Ted Templeman's interview ''[[Frank Zappa's Revenge]]'', Music Magazine, July 2, 1987: '""We also used to have this little featurette in the show which was like a news flash of what happened the night before on the road and some of those are real sick. On one of them (vocalist) [[Napoleon Murphy Brock]] started making up the words, based on a true story, about a guy who tried to force his way into (percussionist) Ruth Underwood's hotel room in Pittsburgh, Penn. She had ordered room service and she was wearing some kind of nightgown and she opened the door to push the tray out and this Xerox salesman-type guy tried to jump in the room and she kicked him in the nuts. Napoleon sang it all on stage the next night."
