"REG" reminds me of this song. Wow I had forgotten about it

Apparently Reg is a nickname for QEII?
I irrationally dislike Lucy. Because of childhood stuff. Lucy from Peanuts, who was really not nice at all, she was pretty malevolent. And I think of I Love Lucy, which as a child I never actually watched, but disliked the idea of - it was still hyped nostalgically in the 70s kinda like Friends is today. To me as a child, it was just an image of 50s fake-ass domesticity and fake-ass "showbiz", and the cliche image of L. Ball with her plastic hair, lipstick, and New York accent... I mean I'm sure it was a funny show and all, but to me as a kid it was just stupid stuff that only middle-aged people would like. And I never met any real-life Lucys who countered these images.
