Discovered in Papua New Guinea, this species of tube-nosed fruit bat was recently
given its common name, Hamamas, meaning ‘happy’. However, it was initially named
something else thanks to its resemblance with a fictional character even though it did
not come from planet Dagobah. The name could not persist as the natives were not
familiar with the fictional franchise the name owed its origin to.

In the last episode of Scam 1992, Debashis Basu jokingly asks Sucheta Dalal what
were they to do about her source Karamchand. To this, she replies exasperatingly that
she prefers to call him something else. This other name is borrowed from another
scandal in the past. In this scandal as well, the secret informant was referred to by this
name. This pseudonym alluded to the deep background information he possessed
about the scandal, and also a widely publicised pornographic movie, popular at that
time. Which scandal and what pseudonym?

The song “X” is probably the greatest hit of the band Y. The irony is that the lead
guitarist of Y, who played the riff, hated the song! The riff was originally just meant to
be a string skipping exercise. Despite his original intentions, however, lead vocalist
liked the riff and wanted to keep it in the album. X was made up so fast, in fact, that
nobody had a good idea on how to continue it after the first few minutes. This is why
the band spends the last third of the song, after the guitar riff, asking, "__ _ _ _ __?" The
question wasn’t rhetorical!
X and Y?

One of Pink Floyd’s most iconic covers is ‘Animals’ – Pink Floyd’s 10th studio album –
featuring Battersea Power Station and in the distance a flying pig. The porcine
balloon and the title were both in reference to the novel X by Y, which informed much
of the lyrical content.
While Y criticized Stalinism in X, Pink Floyd focussed on capitalism in Animals.
