How about the "meta-musical" meaning of the album? The Residents
persistently make commentary on the music scene. What does it
mean that they borrow from other artists in the musical backing
of their story? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't their three
songs that make up all the melodies on the album?
"Ooh Baby" by Sam Cooke.
"Holy Holy Holy" the Christian hymn.
"Double Shot of My Baby's Love" by The Swinging Medallions.

Correction: the song is "Ooh Baby Baby" by Smokey Robinson and
The Miracles, one of the greatest songs of regret for my money.
It definitely paints the emotional mood of the last track, and
totally shocked me the first time I heard it used by the Rz.
Part of me assumes that they intended to use Smokey for a side
of the American Composers Series, and salvaged this particular
recording when it was clear they weren't doing that anymore.
