The Tunes of Two Cities

The Tunes of Two Cities is the ninth studio album by American art rock group The Residents, released in 1982.

Rather than forwarding the story of the battle between the Mole People and the Chubs, the record's concept is to display the differences between the two cultures through their music.

The Chub track "Mousetrap" bears a noticeable resemblance to Stan Kenton's "Eager Beaver."

These tracks are sequenced between "Praise for the Curse" and "The Secret Seed", restoring the alternation between "Mole" and "Chub" songs.
