“A waffle without the letter W is just awful”

The Sesame Street song “The National Association Of ‘W’ Lovers” (1971) has the lyrics:
 
A fine word like “waffle”
Would turn out just “awful”
Oh, “W’s” grand as can be!

 
“A waffle would turn out just awful without the letter W!” was posted on Twitter on April 26, 2010.
 
“Take the W out of waffle house and its just awful house hahahah jim gaffigan joke” was posted on Twitter on December 4, 2010. American stand-up comedian, actor and author Jim Gaffigan told the Waffle House joke on his album King Baby (2009).

My friends recently lent me their collection of Muppets/Sesame St. records.  I made a compilation tape of my favorite songs from it and have been listenign ot it (er, listening to it) for the last few days.  I’ve had to do a lot of explaining about why I keep laughing, dancing, etc.  I love it!  One of my favorite songs is Bert singing about W.

“Even the Waffle House sign looks like a ransom note. There’s always a letter out. Occasionally it’ll be the W. So it’ll read Awful House.”
