(The songs on Cruising With Ruben & The Jets are) "...more than recreations, they're careful conglomerates of archetypical cliches. For instance one song on the 'Ruben & The Jets' album simultaneously has quotes from background chants sung by 'The Moonglows', the opening theme of 'The Rites of Spring', in fact the tune is 'Fountain Of Love', it's on the fade-out but nobody ever heard that as 'The Rites Of Spring' because there's like five different levels of musical accompaniment going on, not counting the band. There's all these different vocal parts and they're all cliches and they're all carefully chosen for nostalgia value and then built into this song with the most imbicile words in the world." - Frank Zappa interview for International Times (isuue 63) 1969
