Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce
Special orders don't upset us
All we ask is that you let us
Serve it your way.
Have it your way, have it your way
Have it your way at Burger King.

Talk about an earworm! I'll be humming that jingle all day.

Beanie! Yikes®! you just unearthed a long-buried memory: when I was studying music in the 70s, my project was to write a theme and variations. I took that jingle as the theme, and wrote variations in Haydnesque style. Talk about your earworms...

Thanks for the memories....

My memory is computer related. A little background. Honeywell Information Systems had taken over what had been the Xerox CP series mainframes and set up things so that individual accounts had to be individually configured for various processes. PCL (pronounced pickle) and EDIT were two of the optional processes that could be implemented. Thus:

Hold the PCL, Hold the EDIT,
Special orders don't upset it,
Just as long as you let it
Do it HIS way.
