SHOW NOTES

• Watch Barry Manilow sing his jingles. It is truly terrible television!

• When Weezer covered Barry Manilow’s State Farm jingle, however, it was great!

• Amy’s awkward interaction with Rivers Cuomo was covered in Episode #2, “Pete Rose’s Underpants”.

• They Might Be Giants, along with John Hodgman, provide verification of the former existence of “The Electric Banana”.

• Consult your local Wikipedia for information on moshing.

• Here is an amazing photograph showing what it looks like when Amy meets Weezer:
