Doreen, don't make me wait 'til tomorrow.
Make no mistake, there are no better songs than those that FZ offered up.
Ya end up hob nobblin' And on a good night she's gobbilin'.
Doreen don't make me wait 'til tomorrow.
Let me gobble tonight. It'll be allright.
No problem, it's down in France.

Son's friend showed up with a fifth of Wild Turkey. Say no more, nudge nudge.

750 ml I do believe. Yeah I had a night of the Wild Turkey many many years ago. I won't go into details.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The implication being that you are an awesome father.

They usually drink cheap Scotch whiskey all night long, but ain't stupid enough to die behind the wheel. I don't know why the Wild Turkey all of a sudden...someone must have gotten paid.
But back to Zappa. The Harder Than Your Husband/Doreen/Goblin Girl run is remarkable in its complexity. These are pop-rock tunes after all, but there are depths of musical construction there that are almost incomprehensible. Ol' Frank manages to invoke pure dumb country music, Andrew Marvell's To His Coy Mistress, which is familiar to any college freshman, and then mix it all up with so many puns...and it's musically brilliant, an added bonus.
Really, where else are you going to hear lyrics like:
When they're a goblin
There ain't a problin
When they're a goblin
I start a-wobblin'
Pink all over
Some is tan

I think it's a fifth of a gallon, 750 ml. I had mere shots glasses worth of it. Doesn't take much. Not when yer listenin' to Zappa.
