Guess the song

[Mikeandvan]

If there isn't already a thread for this, let me start one, listening to a certain Motown track today gave me the thought. Guess the song from a lyric sample.

'Mama passed away while making homemade jam'. lol.

"Group W is where they put ya if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committin' your special crime. There was all kinds of mean, nasty ugly-lookin' people on the bench there. There was mother rapers... father stabbers... father rapers... Father rapers! Sittin' right there on the bench next to me!"

You can get everything you want at Alice's restaurant - excepting Alice.

It's the intro for "Penguin in Bondage", from the album "Roxy and Elsewhere" by Zappa/Mothers. In the frostbite nite, with the flaps gone white, shrieking as she spots the hoop across the room. Every time she sees the hoop. Hope that clears things up :)
