Of course, there is always 'Ernie, the fastest milkman etc' - a coincidence with Electronic Random Number Indicating Equipment for generating Premium Bond winning numbers. I am sure there must be a song for Anita, another councidental acronym for the first Nixie display calculator I ever used - Automatic Number Indicating and Tabulating Apparatus. The last in this tangent is 'Fido Dido' for which the resonant acronym is Fog, Intensive Dispersal Of. A method of aiding returning bombers during WW2 attempting to land safely at airfields so equipped on foggy nights - common hereabouts in E. Anglia in the 1940s.

Not just the title, plenty of initialisms in the lyrics too!

Yes you're all correct I think I'll widen the theme to acronyms & initialisms, there is a difference and I thought there was but hadn't quite looked into it, but there we go, learn something new each day.

An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word (e.g., NASA), while an initialism is formed from the initial letters of other words but pronounced as individual letters (e.g., FBI)

Throw it all into the seed tray and see if the budgie bites
