The Land of Gorch
The Land of Gorch is a recurring skit in season one of Saturday Night Live. This segment featured Jim Henson's Muppets. Prior to Sesame Street, Henson had initially created puppetry work for a more adult audience, including his show Sam and Friends. His characters were regular appearances on the late-night-comedy scene including The Ed Sullivan Show. After Sesame Street, Henson feared that he would become typecast into working on children's television series. His talent agent Bernie Brillstein, who represented Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi, helped him transition to Saturday Night Live.
The premise of The Land of Gorch featured Muppet characters in a far-away locale, who were members of a royal family. They behaved boorishly, with frequent references to drug abuse, sexual innuendo, and intake of alcohol. Characters included King Ploobis and Queen Peutra and children, and servants Scred and Vazh. These characters often consulted their oracle Mighty Favog for advice.

WISS (AM)
WISS (1100 kHz AM) or Big Red AM 1100 is an American radio station broadcasting an News/Talk format. It is licensed to Berlin, Wisconsin, USA, and serves central Wisconsin and the Fox Valley. It used to operate at 1090 kHz. The station is owned by Hometown Broadcasting LLC (owned by Tom Boyson), which acquired the station in 1999. WISS used to have an FM sister station (WISS-FM) at 102.3 MHz which was sold and moved to 104.7 MHz.
WISS changed its music format from Classic Country to soft Oldies on February 2, 2009. Artists heard as part of the new format, according to the station's website, include The Beatles, Carpenters, The Supremes, Barry Manilow, Anne Murray, Frank Sinatra, Kenny Rogers, and Neil Diamond.
The station ran an annual trivia contest between 1982 and 2005. The contest was billed as the "world's longest running commercial trivia contest" before the 2006 contest was canceled.
It has added a simulcast on 97.3 FM because AM 1100 does not operate all day. The 97.3 simulcast is available 24 hours a day, and is in operation before, during, and after AM 1100 is on the air.

Heads Will Roll
by: Yeah Yeah YeahsOff with your head
Dance 'til you're dead
Heads will roll, heads will roll
Heads will roll on the floor
Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The river's all wet
You're all cold
Dripping with alchemy
Shiver stop shivering
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Off, off with your head
Dance, dance 'til you're dead
Heads will roll, heads will roll
Heads will roll on the floor
Looking glass, take the past
Shut your eyes, you realize
Looking glass, take the past
Shut your eyes, you realize
Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome, you're all chrome
Oh, oh, oh
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
