Can you think of a rhyme for Orange? |
Silly Question of the Week #1
Format: I will ask everyone in a number of forums and blogs I write in a question and then people can respond and at the end of the week we'll all see what everyone has to say. If appropriate, I'll chime in with my own response to the question and respond to other people's responses at the end of the week. Often the question will be political in nature, but occasionally, as in this case, they'll have to do with some random thing that has been bugging me. For this reason, I will post this under a miscellaneous category out of everyone's way. I might copy more interesting responses and record them in an archive available on a web page, but let's cross that bridge when we get to it.
Question of the week for April 17 to 23:
In the recent M&Ms commercial, "Will & Grace" star Megan Mullally (who plays Karen) sings a short rhyming phrase for each color of M&M. At the end, she gets to Orange and, after loudly and brightly singing "ORANGE! You're so..." the music abruptly stops, a frustrated look comes over her face, and she says, "Wait! Nothing rhymes with Orange!" I think she's wrong. Can you think of things that rhyme with Orange, or that at least come close, and, that go along with the music in the commercial?
You can find Megan Mullally's bio on the NBC site:
http://www.nbc.com/Will_&_Grace/bios/Megan_Mullally.html
And since it would probably be a violation of copyright law for me to recite the lyrics of the entire commercial, if you have never seen the commercial before (or, just for grins and laughs, you want to see it again) you can find it on the M&Ms site:
http://us.mms.com/us/fungames/tv/ under "Nothing Rhymes with Orange."
By the way, I hereby affirm that I do not work for NBC, M&M/Mars, or Ms. Mullally and that I am just some weird guy who is trying to find out if there is a rhyme for Orange.
Have fun! And see you next week!
