I live in NYC...The Price Club that Kramer probably went to is in Westbury, NY on Long Island. (approx 25 mi from Manhattan)

He could've gone to the Price Club in Wayne, NJ, right by the Willowbrook Mall, which also is about 25 miles from Manhattan.

Not to belabor a teeny-weeny insignificant point, but isn't that what newsgroups are about? Anyway, the tune that Kramer sang was NOT the Beef-a-Roni tune. And just to belabor the point even more, here are the lyrics:

        We're having Beef-a-Roni
        It's made with macaroni.
        Beef-a-Roni's really neat
        Beef-a-Roni's full of meat
        Beef-a-Roni's fun to eat
        HOORAY...for Beef-a-Roni!

By the way, I'm sure the Beef-a-Roni jingle is copyrighted, which is a very good reason for them NOT to have used it!

Okay, now I'm going to go out and GET A LIFE! Susan

Just to belabor this meaningless point even more, I believe that copyright protection is waived in some cases when two bars or less of a song are sung, but don't hold me to this.

I'm glad to hear that you're going out to get a life. When you know all the words to the Beef-a-Roni jingle, and when you take the time to type them into a news post, it's definitely time! :-)

Contrary to what Alvin H. Nichter would have us believe, those of us sitting on huge untapped wells of trivia appreciate it very much when people such as Susan take the time to tap into theirs for our amusement and edification. I always thought the second line of the Beefaroni jingle was, "It's cheese and macaroni," but I was very young back then. Kramer's version had a different melody, far less inspiring of brand loyalty. Unless you're a horse.
