The third Flecktones album, Warner Brothers. Recorded in 1992, the title cut was inspired by Baby Gramps' song "Palindromes, Palindromes, Where Do You Roam." "UFO-Tofu" is a tune that has sections that are played forward and backwards in various combinations, making musical palindromes. "Sex in a Pan" was written by Victor and named by Howard after a dessert that was fed to the guys in North Carolina. Victor dedicated the tune to James Brown.
