I've seen it.

Ever wonder what the purpose of that was? Was it for crash testing?

He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life

Thanks, that has been stuck in my head all morning.
