I am late to the Korla Pandit appreciation club, and really only knew him from his Ed Wood cameo until digging a little deeper into his music and history. I figured there had to be some old threads about him on TC.

For any Frank Zappa fans there is an interesting nod to Korla (as "Korla Plankton") in the lyrics to Excentrifugal Forz off of the Apostrophe(') album:

There's always Korla Plankton
Him 'n me can play the blues
An' then I'll watch him buff that
Tiny ruby that he use
He'll straighten up his turban
An' eject a little ooze
Along a one-celled Hammond Organism
Underneath my shoes
