Infomercial
Written by Andrew F.
To the tune of Mr. Roboto, written by Dennis DeYoung

Come on buy it now, we know that you want to
You'll use it ev-er-y day
Come on buy it now, we know that you want to
Come on, we know that you'll buy...

You won't be using Pam-cooks chicken, pork or ham
The thing's made in Japan, it is the modren pan

The trademarked secret we've been hiding, you don't know where it's been
We used wind tunnels, and some computers, PCs, IBM's
So as you see it performing greatly, you will be surprised
We're glad to let this, secret out now, we'll no longer hide
We show you this live-just order in five
I tell you that I've-been cooking this live

We could have hawked this, with Michael Levy, or on QVC
With bargains plenty, we mark it down now, make you think that it's free
Prepare some Heros, they'll be so good that, you'll swallow them whole
Cook anything you, ever wanted, you'll have full control
Cook filet of sole-not beyond your control
Cook a whole shoal-you'll have full control

It is the modren pan. How much is it, you ask?
The price is gonna be, One hundred twenty three.

Come on buy this pan, we know that you want to,
Don't you (Don't you?) Don't you (Don't you?)
Come on buy this pan, we know that you want to,
Don't you (Don't you?) Don't you (Don't you?)
Come on buy this pan, we know that you want to,
Come on buy this pan, we know that you want to,
Come on buy this pan, we know that you want to,
Come on buy this pan, we know that you want to,
Buy another pan, you know that you got to
Now buy another pan, everybody wants to
Buy another pan, you know that you want to
Help your fellow man, buy one or buy two
Buy one, Buy one Buy one,
You want to buy one, please, buy one.

The problem's plain to see: we need technology.
This pan will save our lives. Just order this in five.

The time has come at last
For now we gotta ask
The pan is almost free
Why won't you buy? For me?
Please buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it.
