Or the Allan Sherman song about the Martian looking for his girlfriend
(to the tune of "Five Foot Two"):
Lovely shape
Custom built
Squeeze her wrong and she says TILT
I'd love to get my hands on one of those old machines again.
Williams' _Flash_ was one of my favourites. Stern's _Meteor_

And who could forget the way Bally's _Xenon_ would sigh when you
dropped quarters in, or the way she would seductively say, "Try
me again" at the end of a game...
