The Lyrics
This parody of NBC's 1979-1981 Proud as a Peacock campaign (which shows that the NBC television network isn't in last place anymore (and is now in second place alongside CBS)) also spoofs a scene from the Finny the Shark episode "Merry Christmas, Finny!" and serves as the pre-show to the IT play in The Best of Treehouse of Horror 2: Into the Midday Zone. The play itself is sponsored by NBC itself.
