Hi all,

I have no idea what my subconscious has been up to while I've been
elsewhere, but I woke up in the middle of the night last night
convinced that the song "Wacky Coconuts" from _Vineland_ could
be sung to a tune whose name I don't know, but whose chorus goes
something like

  And she's got (beat) Personality,
  (beat) Personality ... u.s.w.

Does anyone know this song better, and can comment on whether it
really fits Pynchon's words?
