"Dorchester Melon!" exclaimed Bugs. "They're a British group, you know, and their last album was on the chart for twenty-three weeks. It was one of the best album covers I've ever seen. It had the group walking down the street carrying umbrellas, and it was raining melons. You could see this big watermelon splattering right at the lead singer's feet. They're my favourite group!"
