Ronald McDonald, famous clown, stands with arms wide open. Behind him is outer space with some planets and stars and nubulars with the Enterprise flying. But this picture is like cartoony not photoey. In front of Ronald the aforementioned clown is a sign that reads "McDonald's STAR TREK MEAL"

But the SONG?

The whole concept of calling a person a "genius" has always seemed like a horrible mistake. It should be a word for what people do, not what they are.
