Around 1994 (I think), my friends and I were sitting around listening to oldies. The song "Little Deuce Coupe" came on, and one girl, Teresa, actually sang out loud "Little Best Cook". We all just looked at her in total shock. I mean, at this time our average age group was about 21, but come on, it doesn't sound like that to me. Thanks to Teresa for one of the funniest things I have ever heard!
