Hmmm. IIRC, the song is "Flakes", from the album "Sheik Yerbuti".  Zappa 
wasn't the vocalist, although he does contribute a sotto voce "you want 
some mandies, Bob...?" halfway through the verse.

The album is a gem: Dancing Fool, Jewish Princess and Bobby Brown are 
all on it too, I think --it's a while since I've dragged out my old vinyl...
