Subject: bilectal commercial



It just occurred to me that the jingle I hear many times too often on radio

commercials for the (regional?) discount electronics chain The Wiz, a.k.a. No-

body Beats the Wiz (I think that may be their official name) is bilectal. The

refrain--to a tune catchy enough to stick in one's head long after one wishes

one could evict it on behalf of worthier entries--goes like this:



  Nobody beats the Wiz

  (Ain't nobody gonna beat the Wiz)

  Nobody beats the Wiz

  (Ain't nobody gonna beat the Wiz)



A poor (wo)man's Rosetta Stone...
