Notes About This Song
“WPLJ” was originally recorded by the Four Deuces; Frank sings lead with Lowell George. The Deuces’ B-side, Here Lies Love, was also covered by the Mothers, as heard on You Can’t Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 5. This was sung by Lowell as well. Roy Estrada’s Spanish ad-libs at the end of “WPLJ” include, when translated, the advice to Motorhead (who’s yelling replies in the background) that getting a girl buzzed on the drink might make him “more attractive to fuck.”
