Their name is... [reverb]
"Touchtone and the Call Girls."

[audience laughs]
BITSY>> Oh dear! When did it start acting like this?
BIFF>> I just tried making a phone call!
BITSY>> Well, quick! Let's apply the patches.
BITSY>> Golly, Biff, it's 6:30 already! I guess you probably want to go home.
BIFF>> Actually, Bitsy, I'd rather stay with you.
BITSY>> Gee, Biff, could it be that you feel the same way I do?
BIFF>> Oh, yes, Bitsy, I do, I do!
[music starts]
[tune of Cole Porter's Cheek to Cheek]
BIFF>> Siemens! I'm at Siemens!
And I've never been so happy or so glad!
And I pity all the people who are sad,
when I spend the whole night testing in the lab.
BITSY>> Siemens! I'm at Siemens!
And there is no doubt at all I would go mad,
if I hadn't had the thrilling times I'd had
when I spend the whole night testing in the lab.
BIFF>> Oh I love to go out dancing,
and to dress up really rad.
but I don't enjoy it half as much
as testing in the lab.
BITSY>> Oh I love to go on hot dates,
with a handsome, sexy lad.
But I don't enjoy it half as much
as testing in the lab.
BIFF>> Test with me! The switch is falling apart!
BITSY>> But steals my heart
with every restart!
BIFF>> At Siemens! We're at Siemens!
And we're thankful for the happiness we've had!
BITSY>> It doesn't matter that the whole design is bad.
BIFF>> Yeah, it sucks!
BITSY>> When we spend the whole night testing in the lab!
