Translates as "These Pigeon Cocks" but as Zappa explains in the liner notes:
That means, "Those Fucking Pigeons." If you've ever been to Venice, well, instead of trees, they have pigeons, and pigeon by-products. Which is probably one of the reasons why the town is sinking. The title was an afterthought. There are all those knocking sounds in that piece, and the knocking sounds were an invention of the string players. When they tried to learn it, it was very difficult for them to count it, and keep it even. So one of the guys said, "Well, why don't we just beat time on our instruments in between what we're playing?"—because they rehearsed without a conductor. When they played it for me with the knocks in it, I told them to leave it in. So you can just imagine those are pigeons.
