i want the truth!

ok, flashback to electric company. my co-worker today was telling me that one time someone mistakenly called her “ruth.” her name is nowhere near “ruth” so she was trying to figure out where this person came up with that wrong name for her and i suddenly remembered a short cartoon from electric company (or was it on sesame street?) where a cartoon guy with long hair is passionately singing to a bored looking woman and the lyrics of his song are, “i want the truth, ruth. all i want, all i want, all i want is the truth, ruth… gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme give me the truth, ruth…” and he ends on a hopeful note, looking at the girl and she mutters, “my name’s pearl.”
