           I should try the commercials video thing sometime.   
      
           For me the one that most strikes me is from one episode, I want   
   to say from Season Seven, where Tom sings out, ``Ed Sul-li-vannnn'',   
   which I took to be a bit of stray silliness.  Years later I finally did   
   see _Bye, Bye, Birdie_, and realized that *this* was the thing referred   
   to and oh, yes, that's a perfectly correct reference to make.  Also a   
   funny one.
