The tune "Titties n' Beer" from the _Zappa in New York_ album features beer, a fistfull of downs, a girl by the name of Chrissie kept around for when it's "tittie-squeezin' time", the Devil, werewolves, and a gun. Pretty much covers it all, eh? Dan Hall "So I shot him with my shooter, said: BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Perfect example. It is also interesting to note that in the song, the Devil takes Frank's titties (girlfriend Chrissie) and beer away from him. The Devil offers Frank a deal, but is rather taken back when Frank agrees without hesitation to sign away his soul to get back his titties and beer. There is also a blatant reference to masturbation (gosh, no!), at least in the version I heard, which was from the bootleg PA'S NOSE FELL OFF, IT FELL RIGHT INTO MA'S COFFEE AND DISPLACED IT, so this tune is indeed a whopper.
