How could all you UNIX users forget Western Electric's contribution to
this genre? To the tune of "The City of New Orleans" (written by Steve
Goodman about a train that used to run from Chicago to New Orleans; the
best known recording is probably by Arlo Guthrie):
	
	Hello America, how are you
	Western Electric helps you say hello
		etc.

Also, does anyone remember the Teaberry shuffle? I think it was a commercial
for a sugarless gum, and showed people walking down the street and occasionally
breaking into a little dance. I remember the tune was a pop hit on the radio
about the same time (I can still remember the tune, but it's rather difficult
to hum it over the net.. (-:).
