Or maybe we could make a joke that Artie’s a mutant ’cause his hand has extra digits?

It makes one wonder who exactly Artie would, at this juncture, consider fine to be romantically involved with as a human. Zeta??

Oh, Cesar Chavez!  That Cesar Chavez!
United Farm Workers, well he was the prez!
My knees get weak when anybody says,
“Oh Cesar, that Cesar Chavez!”

Oh, Cesar Chavez!  That Cesar Chavez!
He conquers my dreams now, like Hernan Cortez!
No one could ever be as sexy as
That Cesar, that Cesar Chavez!

We’re in an orange grove,
As through the trees we rove
We can do most anything we like!
And when he takes my hand,
Libido takes command …
I give up, my intellect’s on strike!

Oh, Cesar Chavez!  That Cesar Chavez!
My heart’s palpitating, whenever he says,
“You look so cute in nothing but a fez!”
Oh Cesar, that Cesar Chavez!
