1971년 발표된 프랭크 자파와 마더 오브 인벤션의 작품으로 그들의 냉소적이면서도 재기 넘치는 유머 감각을 맛볼 수 있는 음반. 왕가위 감독의 영화 ‘해피투게더’에 삽입되었던 히트곡이자 터틀스의 오리지널을 리메이크한 ‘Happy Together’가 실려 있으며 이 외의 많은 곡들이 명곡 반열에 오르며 다시 한번 그의 명성을 확인시켜주었다. 출시하는 음반마다 작품성만으로는 걸작 반열에 거의 모조리 올려놓은 프랭크 자파의 괴력이 다시 한번 발휘된 음반이다. .... ....

Mud Sh-sh-shark
THE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON!
Mud Sh-sh-shark We're gonna do a little dancing, A little dancing thing called the Mud Shark Now, this dance started up in Seattle
Lemme tell you 'bout the Mud Shark... The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows: There's a motel in Seattle, Washington called the Edgewater Inn. The Edgewater Inn's built on a pier.. so that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt -- it's got a bay or something out in your backyard,,, And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down whenever they want to, and rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it... you know what I mean? Now in this bay there's quite a variety of ah... fish! Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch. And all these denizens of the deep can come in real handy... Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called the Vanilla Fudge. Let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn Motel with a 8mm movie camera, enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting -- a succulent young lady (Mnaaaah!) with a taste for the bizarre... My mind drifts back to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport where the members of the Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they made at the Edgewater Inn with a Mud Shark. I'm gonna tell you, this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!...
Out You go out So far out You do the Mud Shark. baby ... etc
