Notes About This Song

Out-take from The Torture Never Stops at Johanneshovs Isstadion, Stockholm May 1, 1988.

Gorgo could be a reference to the 1961 British monster movie Gorgo. Yet in The Real Frank Zappa Book Zappa mentions that he owned "a vile short-tempered Siamese cat named Gorgo", whom he named after Gorgonzola, one of the Grunt People in his project Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People.

CC Clues In This Song

Gorgo is one of the stars in the "One Size Fits All" (1975) "universe".

Eddie Are You Kidding? performed by Flo & Eddie (without FZ), contains a line 'Our lovely model Gorgo here will demonstrate'... (see Illegal, Immoral And Fattening from 1975).
