(In the "Stage #2" version of Pygmy Twylyte) at 5:36 isn't that a total
ripoff of "The World is a Ghetto"? I'm burning my entire collection of
Zappa stuff because of this.

Yup, that's the old "War" horse. 'Course, at the time it was a very
popular song. Since Frank was never above throwing in anything that
intrigued him, I'm inclined to think he rather liked this song.

Yeah. "War" is a group that was very popular in the early to mid 70's,
with songs like "Slippin' Into Darkness", "Low Rider", "Cisco Kid", and
"The World Is A Ghetto". They were a multiracial group that fused rock,
soul, funk, and twisted it up with latin percussion while at the same time
sounded extremely raw and rough around the edges. While groups like
Earth Wind And Fire were sounding as slick as snot, War gained a following
that appreciated its rootsy sound and conscious message. At first they
were led by Eric Burdon.

I like 'em a lot, I don't know why mwcook bashes them so.
While the particular guitar phrase he quotes does follow the head from
"The World Is A Ghetto", it's my opinion that it was accidental. For one
thing it's an unremarkable and very common little lick that every guitar
palyer will hit at some point, and for another I don't hear anything in
Zappa's phrasing that would indicate he's changing gears in order to quote
a song. I think it's just a moment in the solo that at least these two
people happen to think sounds like another song.
