Hi. I'm new to this forum and I hope you all can help me out. The question came up today of where did the phrase "Anna Maria Alberghetti in a taxi, honey" come from. I googled the phrase and found that in Anna Maria Alberghetti's bio on imdb.com it says it came from the Mary Tyler Moore Show. It says that a character on the show was challenged to use her name in a song and came up with the phrase. My question is which character? My guess would be Murray, but I don't know that for sure. Does anyone know who, and which episode it was? Thanks so much!

Thanks! I actually did search for Anna Maria Alberghetti (and I'm hoping that's the last time I'll have to type that name today!), but didn't get any hits. I appreciate your putting in the link.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show message board regulars are a helpful sort.

I had that stuck in my head so long, that I finally recorded it into GarageBand and made an mp3 of it to put on my iPod. Gotta love when they sing!! I actually thought that Ted complimented Mary's voice well: high-low.
