One of FZ's most-produced songs was "The Torture Never Stops". It's on at
least four different albums of his. It was originally Beefheart's but FZ
tweazed the Beefheart original to give it a more sinister sound. I don't
recall now which disk I have that has Beefheart singing his original version
but it's quite different than FZ's. You can certainly hear Beefheart on "Hot
Rats". "Willie the Pimp" is a great tune that Beefheart sings on that album.
