Fake rock band from humor columnist Erma Bombeck's "Convenient Hearing" column, as compiled in the 1971 book "Just wait till you have children of your own!"
Finally, I went directly to his room. He was sitting on the register in a fetal position. The record player was going full blast (Mr. Wonderful and the Electric Pimples). The television set was up to its aerial in decibels. He had a transistor cord in one ear and a telephone receiver in the other. He was teasing a yapping dog with a sock between his toes. I pulled all the plugs, hung up the phone, silenced the dog and demanded, "Why didn't you answer me when I called?"
He looked up slowly, made a peace sign with his fingers and said, "You know I can't hear you with a war on."
