  I was playing Them or Us to a friend and he got a big chuckle out of Frogs With Dirty little Lips. Now I seem to remember in an article (Maybe Society Pages) that the cadence (sp) to this piece is a reference to some composer's style. FZ named it a specific type of cadence. It was like "The Zanzini Cadence" or some shit. Anybody know what the fuck I'm talking about, 'cause I don't.

  The cadence in "Frogs" is known as the "Landini cadence," if I remember the pre-Renaissance segment of Music History 101 correctly. This is the I-VII-VI-I (in this case, A-G#-F#-A) bit in the chorus. (Tape collectors out there should cf. the Ft. Collins '80 version of "Dangerous Kitchen.")
  Landini, Sanzini, Zanti - more conceptual continuity, I guess.
