Well, off the top of my head, Joe's Garage I contains some FZ whisperings
which are reminiscent of (if not precisely the same as) a scene from
Airplane: "The white zone is for loading and unloading only...". Which
came first, the chicken or the egg? (I don't have the disc or video to
compare dates with, but I'm assuming that Airplane was first).

The White Zone riff is what is constantly announced curbside at LAZ (LA
International Airport). That's the origin.

So the place is ex-LAX?

My personal favorite: "And this is what she said, just a-swingin' through
the trees" can be heard on an old Don & Dewey single, the name of which I
forget. Also, it sounds to me like the arrangement of "Pink Champaigne,"
another Don & Dewey number, was used by Frank for his slowed-down version of
Little Richard's "Directly from My Heart to You." (Don of D&D = Don
"Sugercane" Harris.)
Also, a little shuffle riff that Frank used to open some '74 and '75 shows
can be heard at the opening of "Young Blood" by the Coasters.

I thought it was LAX?
Although LAZ (or La-zee, as you prefer) is certainly not without a
somewhat cynical charm...
