Notes about this song

Originally recorded for Jeff Simmons' album Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up in 1969. Zappa refers to this recording in Joe's Garage Act 1

Joe is so disoriented by his disease, he goes in the

other room and plays the title cut from an old

Jeff Simmons album, and sings along with it.

- Scene Eight of Joe's Garage Act 1
