Zappa/A-L-B-U- kirky!

There IS a mention of Albuquerque New Mexico on one of Zappa's songs off his album The Man From Utopia (not one of his best albums, some of the songs are just plain bad, like he is trying to fulfil a contract obligation, which shouldn't be necessary because he released close to 60 albums in a span of 25 years)
Anyway, The Jazz Discharge Hats (which has 'unclean' lyrics like many of FZ's songs) is one where FZ tells a story, but it sounds like a live concert recording of Zappa just joking around with crappy jazz impov in the background- Weird Al's Albuquerque is a far, far superior song.
It starts out:
Once upon a time
It was in Albuquerque, New Mexico
There were these girls that worked at the college
They were really cool
(they thought so anyway)
They would be delighted to tell you how suave they were at the drop of a hat
Albuquerque is mentioned at least 4 times in this song. I am sure you can find the full lyrics by doing a search of Frank Zappa sites, but be warned, it is not for children.
