 A different song "White Port And Lemon Juice" was recorded by [[The Bel-Aires]]; and [[The Feathers]] mention the drink on "Shake 'Em Up" the B side of [[Johnny Darling]].
-WPLJ was a big sensation when it was released, hence another song on the same topic. The song was so popular that a radio station in New York changed their call letters to 'WPLJ'. It's such a classic for R&B fans that there are many covers, including one by Darryl Hall (of Hall and Oates), played faster than the original. The Zappa/Mothers version is a bit slower than the original.

-“W-P-L-J” was originally recorded by [[The 4 Deuces]] (Music City 790, 1955); The B-side, [[Here Lies Love]], was also covered by the Mothers. FZ sings lead with [[Lowell George]]. [[Roy Estrada]]’s Spanish ad-libs at the end of “WPLJ” include, when translated, the advice to [[Jim "Motorhead" Sherwood|Motorhead]] (who’s yelling replies in the background) that getting a girl buzzed on the drink might make him “more attractive to fuck.”
