Tex and Edna Boil's Organ Emporium: Rhythm Ace
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Standing in front of a crudely superimposed sign for Tex and Edna Boil's Organ Emporium, a bewigged Edna in white cat-eye glasses launches into a hard sell for the couple's round-the-clock showroom, its endless rows of organs and this week's bargain Rhythm Ace drum machine, while Tex sits at a keyboard behind her and chimes in only to agree. She announces a cookout weekend, and grainy film of the parking lot shows Tex at a grill handing out sausages to shoppers, before Edna warns customers to keep their greasy fingers off the instruments. She repeats the deal and the store name, garbles a pitch about discovering a musical prodigy in the family, and signs off with the store's cheerful slogan.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Keep those fingers off the merchandise. Those little piggies are greasy.
We'll put the song back in your heart.
