- No, no, no, you young'uns: that's "Like a Waring blender," which is
- the name of the sort of generic blender company (sorta like "Frigidaire"
- for a while there was the generic refrigerator company).

- Back to all-time bad songs, how about some applause on the meter
- for Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical"?
