The link to "Under Me Sleng Teng" goes to a 2004 album reissue. I think it's pretty safe to assume that Beth Lesser meant the single. Maybe it's the case for other entries as well that she referred to the singles ("Zungguzungguguzungguzeng", "Greetings", "Pass the Kouchie")?

I didn't find the list nor read the book, so you'll have to check with panam.
