Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

I know I should never have started this – I can’t get that tune out of my head!!
Well, at least I came up with another verse.
Three Blind ‘lites, Three Blind ‘lites.
See how they roam, See how they roam
They all sent data to those at home
To tell us a little of what we don’t know
Too bad they end up as toast over Nome
As Three Blind ‘lites
Hope it’s not catchy. I'll stop now.
