The song is a "playlet," a word Stoller used for the glimpses into teenage life that characterized the songs Leiber and Stoller wrote and produced. The lyrics describe the listing of household chores to a kid, presumably a teenager, the teenager's response ("yakety yak") and the parents' retort ("don't talk back") — an experience very familiar to a middle-class teenager of the day. Leiber has said the Coasters portrayed "a white kid’s view of a black person’s conception of white society." The serio-comic street-smart “playlets” etched out by the songwriters were sung by the Coasters with a sly clowning humor, while the saxophone of King Curtis filled in, in the up-tempo doo-wop style.

Dick Clenent and Ian La Frenais had written the successful sitcom "Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads" (follow-up to their previous 1960's hit series, "The Likely Lads"). This success led to their writing for "Seven of One" in 1973, a series of seven individual comedy playlets starring Ronnie Barker. Each 30-minute segment from different writers each would be considered potential 'pilot' which if decided it had the potential could be developed into a series in its own right. Clement and LaFrenais's contribution was "Prisoner And Escort" featuring Fletcher, an ageing lag and his misadventures while being transported to Slade prison in Cumberland after having been sentenced to (yet another) five-year stretch inside.

The show, as described by Anthony Hayward of The Independent, was "a cocktail of comedy sketches, playlets, songs and parodies, a long-winded Corbett monologue and a singing star, sandwiched between the opening and closing news summaries." The usual format consisted of many sketches between the two, an ongoing filmed serial, a solo character sketch from Barker, Corbett's monologue, a musical number, a special guest, bookended by joke news items, delivered from a desk by the two in the style of newsreaders, before ending with the catchphrase "It's good night from me – and it's good night from him." This was a set format which was used for almost the entirety of the show's run.

During the years of the Puritan Interregnum when the theatres were closed (1642–1660), the comic subplot of Bottom and his compatriots was performed as a droll. Drolls were comical playlets, often adapted from the subplots of Shakespearean and other plays, that could be attached to the acts of acrobats and jugglers and other allowed performances, thus circumventing the ban against drama. When the theatres re-opened in 1660, A Midsummer Night's Dream was acted in adapted form, like many other Shakespearean plays. Samuel Pepys saw it on 29 September 1662 and thought it "the most insipid, ridiculous play that ever I saw ..." After the Jacobean / Caroline era, A Midsummer Night's Dream was never performed in its entirety until the 1840s.

Its dramas vividly depict and celebrate the dispatching of powerful officials, gurus and merchants either by the mocking scorn of villagers or the sword of the Goddess in a protective maternal rage. No authority figure is spared and some playlets happily lampoon kings, Hindu gods like Krishna, and even charlatan Bhopa shamans. The healthy skepticism such skits reflected and encouraged in rural Mewar, along with other similar art forms/practices in the subcontinent helped birth India's 2005 Right to Information Act, which has been journalistically hailed as "the most significant change to Indian democracy since Independence" Gavari's itinerant format continues to closely network and promote solidarity among Mewar's scattered rural villages as well as their constituent castes and religious communities.

In 1920s, the Taiwanese Cultural Association(:zh:台灣文化協會) galvanized the self- identification from the cultural and societal perspectives, through public lectures, publications, playlets and summer schools, in which intellectuals eg. Lin Mosei(:zh:林茂生), Shao-Hsing Chen(:zh:陳紹馨), Lin Qiu-wu(:zh:林秋悟) addressed in the public sphere; Lin Qiu-wu(:zh:林秋悟) and Isshū Yō(:zh:楊杏庭) were involved with student movements, and even Shenqie Zhang(:zh:張深切) and Hsiang-yu Su(:zh:蘇薌雨) were enlisted to militia resistance.

Speculation for KMET's new format was between a first of its kind new age/smooth jazz/soft rock hybrid format, or a dance-rock format positioned between KIIS-FM, KPWR, and KROQ. In the end, on February 14, 1987 at noon, the station indeed flipped to the former, a format that eventually came to be called "new adult contemporary" (NAC) or simply "smooth jazz" with the branding "94.7 The Wave" and new call letters KTWV. The first song on The Wave was the fittingly titled "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" by Sting, followed by the first instrumental, "Maputo" by Bob James and David Sanborn. In its initial 19 months, management referred to The Wave as a "mood service" rather than a radio station; the only live voices heard were those of personalities from Financial News Network doing news and traffic updates. In lieu of disc jockeys, listeners were encouraged to call a "Wave Line" to learn what the music being played was and the music was wrapped around pre-recorded vignettes called "Playlets" featuring "ordinary people" in unique situations (one of whom was voiced by Terry McGovern, coincidentally the former morning man on KSAN from 1974 to 1979) that noted the time as part of the dialogue.
