Avocado Salad's Influence on Rock n' Roll

Clearing out noise from the back of my head:

I take them avocados off the shelf
I dice and mash 'em up by myself.
Add some lemon and I serve it cold.
I like that old time guacamole. Bob Segar

Everybody in the whole cell block
Got salmonella from the jailhouse guac. Elvis

You can spill guac in America... Night Ranger

She's another guacamole widow,
Living in this town.
Another guacamole widow
Since they gunned him down. Wishbone Ash

By the way, your Editor would like to point out that we do, in fact, know that it's not really pronounced "gwak-a-mohl," but rather "gwak-a-mol-ay." However, that latter doesn't really sound anything like rock-n-roll. We'd have had to rhyme up things with, oh, I don't know, the word "holy" in 'em. Or "rolly-polly." Or at a stretch, "E. coli." So be glad - you could have gotten "Guacamole Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and at the hour of our lunch, ..."
