*FZ on "'''Think It Over'''": (from [[The Complete History Of The Few Last Weeks Of The Mothers Of Invention]] (1972))
 
<blockquote>"About six weeks ago, I finished the book and lyrics for a science fiction musical called [[Hunchentoot]] (which may never be staged), and under the title "'''Think It Over'''," this piece is used as an aria, sung by a religious fanatic con man of the future, as an instruction to his Alpha-meditating followers:<br>
 
<br>
 
''If Something Gets in Your Way,<br>
 
''Just think it over<br>
 
''And it will fall down, etc.<br>
 
<br>
 
But, as an instrumental item, it goes under the title-disguise of "'''The Grand Wazoo'''." It doesn't require too much in the way of scientific explanation. It's just a shuffle."<br></blockquote>
