Memory lane... When I was a kid, a local radio station had a call-in question asking what ICBM meant; I was the first to call in with the correct answer, and I won a copy of this album. I can still hear that song in my mind, 50 years later. Thanks!

I think that meant someone forgot to flush, juvenile I know but I couldn't resist.

You were probably a conservative at that time, or trending in that direction, since conservatives, being national security-minded, would have been more likely to know that acronym. On the other hand, liberals would have had the advantage had callers been asked to define UNEF or ACDA.

I was a bit older than a kid, but I won one of those call-in things once by identifying this song (by then it was a golden oldie):

The prize was a $20 gift certificate at a used record store.
