"I Like Bing Lee"

I was calling around this morning trying to get specs on various ovens, and one of the shops I called is an electronics store called Bing Lee. The salesclerk was helping me, and put me on hold for a couple of minutes. The muzak was playing some Bing Lee agitprop, including a little background song where they just go "I like Bing Lee."

After a few seconds, I realized I'd heard that tune before. After a few seconds more, I realized it was lifted directly from the Monty Python skit where they sing "I like Chinese." Exactly the same tune!

Of course, the Pythons probably lifted the tune themselves from somewhere else in the first place...
