Kilyle: Does the... wait, Johnny Mathis? Huh? What'd I miss? ...anyway, is the "Eensy-weensy spider" song from... what, 8-Legged Freaks, maybe? ... does that count?

Falchion: Have any of you people seen that 30-second spot for Rainbow Six 3 with the little girl singing 'My Country 'tis of Thee'? Brrr...
Wardog: Didn't Alien³ open with footage of a facehugger breaking into someone's cryopod, to the tune of Twinkle, twinkle, little star?
