[Steely Tom]

When this song came out on the radio back in the '80s, I heard an interview of Frank Zappa on some NPR show, probably Morning Edition.

The interviewer tried to get Mr. Zappa to talk about how he felt about his daughter performing the song live (she recorded it at age 14).

Frank Zappa sort of dodged the subject, but the interviewer persisted, and finally Frank said "look, if you're asking me if I'm going to let her go on the road with me, the answer is absolutely not."

I thought it was kind of a funny remark, given the wide-open sexual license of some of his early albums, which I heard when I was in eighth grade or so (1968 or '69). Made me chuckle as I drove to work that morning.
