Choice B should be "Fergalicious," a reference to Fergie, lead singer for the Black Eyed Peas and subsequent solo artist.

Yes, I understand that Fergie is not equally well known among all members of the Transcript Team. I love all of you for doing the work for the benefit of us all.

So, if the song was ubiquitous, why didn't we know that?

I think it would be safe to say that the song was ubiquitous within the cool and trendy writing staff, as confirmed impartially by the 20-something production staff. (Haven't some of them reached their early 30s by now?)

I further guarantee that there was some 50-year-old sound guy who thought, "I never heard of that song. I didn't even know the Duchess could sing!"

Don’t mistake my lack of typing skills for not knowing about Fergi.

Oh, dear, Transcript Team guy, I am so sorry if I implied such a thing. I am fully aware that you know about the singer in question, as well as virtually all other areas of prospective question categories.

I meant that other Team member. That one over there. You know.

Plus the sound guy.
