I'm surprised more people haven't made this connection "What will we do tonight, Brain?"
"The same thing we do every night, Penny ... try to help Inspector Gadget!"
(*MUSIC STARTS*)
They're Penny and the Brain Yes, Penny and the Brain One's kinda furry, the other's sorta plain While Penny's fighting crime She's captured all the time ... Then rescued They're Penny and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain Brain
When Gadget's note explodes Right in Chief Quimby's face These two go on the road To save him from disgrace
They're Penny and The Brain Yes, Penny and The Brain Her e-book's arcane He suffers lots of pain When MAD unveils a plot They'll give that cat what's what 'Til "next time!" They're Penny and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain Wowsers!
-- * Blame krinndnz, who is completely innocent, but who got me searching the web in the first place for a picture of the MAD Cat from Inspector Gadget. Then this idea got stuck in my head ... and wouldn't let go.
Sharing the pain Dear gamers and sci-fi fans: Please root around in your MP3 collection until you find that old, dusty copy of the Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls."

“And now, in honor of my reaching Kennedy Meadows and the end of the desert, the song that has been writing itself in my head for the last 250 miles.
[To the tune of the Indigo Girls' "Closer To Fine" - Lyrics in comments]
... Oh, and, by the way, if anyone wants to dig up a [karaoke and/or instrumental] copy of this song, or the previous one, I would be more than happy to record studio versions when I get back to civilization.”
(The following is sung to the tune of "Hello Mudda, Hello Faddah")
Hello Anne and hello Larry,
Here I am in Agua Dulce.
Town is neat and food is filling,
But the heat is on the verge of hiker-killing.
You've seen pictures of the Saufleys,
They keep hikers on their property
In a guest house, tents and RVs,
There were 60 there last week. Now that's a party!
There are things I've heard since stopping,
Hikers from the trail are dropping.
You remember poor No Way Ray?
The memorial will be two weeks after Monday.
Now I don't want this should freak youse,
Ladybird got bit by a recluse.
Pinhead's shin splints still aren't healing,
And believe me, I have felt that broken feeling!
Let me stay,
Oh Jeff and Donna,
Let me stay,
'Cause I don't wanna
Go out to the scary desert
Where I might get heat stroke and fall down.
Let me stay,
I promise I will pat the dogs,
And smell nice in my clean new togs
Oh please let me sleep in,
I need to zero again!
Darling Mudder, Dearest Fadder,
The Mojave's growing hotter
And the Saufleys' is so shady
There are so many excuses to keep waiting.
Wait a minute, clouds just blew in,
Cooler weather might be brewin'
I can't stop or I'll be bailin'
So Mudder, Fadder, kindly disregard this mailin'!
(DUM dum dum dum-dum-dum dum DA DA dum plink plink!)”
