Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: The Simpsons
To anyone born after probably 1989, this joke requires extensive explanation to fully appreciate - who MC Hammer is, Rick James, Party All the Time, novelty rap singles.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: The Simpsons
I believe my tax dollars fund public schools to teach the youth just this sort of thing.
