3:54 is the climax of the song, IMHO.

There are more vids from this set which are also worth listening to (you can find them on daTube). I had to double-check to make sure that wasn't a young Bill Clinton doing the singing when I first saw them.

I just got into Pekka's works recently, myself. I found out about him through an interview re: his turning down Zappa! I think I understand why, though. Like the adage about "too many cooks", having someone that comes from Pekka's background and abilities joining Zappa's troupe as an underling would've made for some negative tension, possibly. Hence the famous reply of "No...too much bullshit!" Yet, at the same time, I can't help but feel the world lost out on something special had they gotten together. Oh well...

Anyway, glad you tuned in. So long as 1 person picks up on it, the purpose is served.
