“Toad-O-Line” is a musical riff on the track “Hold the Line” by Toto, who are harshly criticized by Zappa on this record for backstage debauchery of the worst, but by no means exceptional, kind. This is an instance, like “I Have Been in You,” “Punky’s Whips,” and the entirety of We’re Only in It for the Money, of Zappa directly satirizing a particular performer as well as the rock music industry and culture in general. However, unlike in the other cases, this also serves as a musical adaptation of an existing tune rather than a more general stylistic parody or jab. Zappa is actually riffing off the notes of “Hold the Line.”
