Crackle -- is the crispy sound! You gotta have crackle or the clock's not wound. (round?) ?????????? Snap Crackle Pop Rice Krispies! Pop ?????????? You can't have fun unless Pop's around. You can't stop hoppin' when the cereal's poppin, Snap Crackle Pop Rice Krispies Sorry about the gaps, but my gawd it's been a long time. Maybe some of the other mentat generalists (trivia buffs) out there can fill in the missing lines... "I'd probably still be eatin' 'em if they didn't have so d*mn much sugar..."

I was in an a capella singing group while I was a MIT, and we sang the Rice Krispies jingle Mark mentioned. Here are the lyrics; I'm glad that there are others who remember that commercial with fondness: Snap, what a happy sound, Snap is the happiest sound I've found. You may clap, rap, tap, slap, but Snap makes the world go 'round. I say it's Crackle, the crispy sound, You gotta have Crackle or your clock's not wound. Geese cackle, feathers tickle, belts buckle, beets pickle, but Crackle makes the world go 'round. I insist that Pop's the sound, The best is missin' 'less Pop's around. You can't stop hoppin' when your cereal's poppin'. Pop makes the world go 'round. Snap, Crackle, Pop, Rice Krispies. Ray Schnitzler -- Hi There! This is Eddie, your shipboard computer.

How about:
Snap -- what a happy sound!
Snap is the happiest sound I've found:
You can rap, clap, tap, slap
But Snap makes the world go round
Snap Crackle Pop Rice Krispies!
I say it's Crackle, the crispy sound!
You gotta have crackle or the clock's not wound.
Geese cackle, feathers tickle, belts buckle, beets pickle,
But Crackle makes the world go round!
Snap Crackle Pop Rice Krispies
I insist that Pop's the sound
The best is missed unless Pop's around.
You can't stop hoppin' when the cereal's poppin,
Pop - makes the world go round
Snap Crackle Pop Rice Krispies
For any really talented musicians out there, you get one person for
each chorus, sing each one separately (they each have different music), and
then sing them together...
