An interesting thing about this song is the recurrence of the 'My Sharona' bass lick, in this case, the instrumental interlude with the fast guitar lick, e.g. underneath the lyric 'SPACE WARP'). This lick assumes a kind of a serial nature on the album; it's also on 'Tink Walks Amok', which on the original album came just before 'The Radio is Broken'. I also heard a rehearsal tape somewhere that had a very elaborate. atonal sort of loop melody, the basis of which is that 'Sharona' lick. It sounded like a variant of 'The Radio is Broken'.

Problem number 734...
it's also on 'Tink Walks Amok', which on the original album came just before 'The Radio is Broken'.
Having split things down to song titles we have painted ourselves into a corner and we do not have a satisfactory way to present the variations, interpretations and cross referencing that Zappa used. Some may say that we just keep expanding by adding articles and categories but that mostly adds to the hundreds of dead end/orphaned pages that are of little value to anyone.
So how do we tie all this together in coherent readable articles?
