I agree heartily with those who said that Studio Tan is a masterpiece.  I found it a little intimidating at first, but everything on it is so great, and on the side, it's virtually another album by the One Size Fits All band.  I didn't know that when I bought it, and that's my favorite FZ group, so yet another plus.<br><br>"RDNZL"!<br><br>Oh, and here's a real, nocturnal, gregarious, wild swine:<br><br><br><br>Which, of course, extinguishes itself with white markings about the neck.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was wondering might anyone know why the word "extinguishes" is used in The Adventures of Greggery Peccary instead of the word "distinguishes"? Or if it's just a mistake?

I've always thought the word is 'distinguishes'.

don't think it's a mistake. either way it's deliberate. still sounds like "distinguishes" to me, though.

but, I could be wrong.

LOVE STUDIO TAN!
A true masterpiece!
Think of the sheer work in orchestration and arrangement!!!

Extinguishes would be a typical meaningful Zappa obscurization - compare Thing-Fish's vocabulary...

And the sheer level of diabolical fiendishness involved in Lemme Take You to the Beach. Not that it's a totally unwelcome addition to the album, but you know what I mean...

Perhaps he is alluding to the fact that this particular breed of Peccaries is not only distinguishing themselves from the rest of their more backwards family but, because of their penchant for mainstream style business/capitalism (wearing a "tie", working in large, mindless trend-manufacturing offices etc), ultimately driving themselves to extinction. Or something. Or I'm completely wrong.

NO ONE could use a razor blade like Frank!
Think of the editing involved! In a world without digital.
STUDIO TAN on headphones is too much!

(oh...by the way...that last quote in my comment was NOT from frank zappa
but from Festus Zvinkle. ..the 'Z' is silent)

I'm going to weigh in with extinguish. I can't hear distinguish at all:

it's weird. you've heard a song hundreds of times (or whatever) and you think you know the words.
I've listened to the beginning of 'greggery peccary' a couple of times tonight, and, damnit, I'm pretty sure the word is "extinguishes."
well, there you go...

ok, it's "vants", not "wants" (I made a typo). but; "mammy"...?
now, that's debatable.

From authorized german book Frank Zappa Zonx:

Page 54:
…
That extinguishes itself by markings which resemble
a wide tie,
Directly below the white collar!

Page 10:

Manny the Camper wants to buy some white (fish)!
