(Everything You Wanted to Know About) The Florentine Pogen Cookies

Some cool Conceptual Continuity:

• The song references Chester Thompson's encounter with a particular groupie ("Chester's gorilla");
• Louie Louie is quoted at 3:07;
• The Hratche-plche sound is identical to a section of Brown Shoes Don't Make It;
• Fan Belt is a constellation on the back cover;
• Pigs: "she go oink";
• Italy: Florence is a city in Italy.
