During "Be-Bop Tango" Zappa brings some people up stage to dance.

Some men in the audience immediately start shouting obscene remarks that are inaudible on the record, but Zappa does retort to them: "Oh? Is it very good for other things out there now?" Eventually he asks for one of the engineers to turn the sound of his microphone up, "so they can hear what I'm saying."

Zappa even has to calm them down again ("Hèèèèy") and just decides to start off without properly ending his introduction.
