Rock-a-feller, he's the feller That we love Rock-a-Feller Rock A Fell Er
That was actually a popular song back when old Nelson A was still considered a viable candidate for president. I presume the song playing on the radio in his office when/where he died was the old Gene Autry ditty:
When Peter Jackson was filming Lord of the Rings, he considered Waltham first because of its huge population of short people with hairy feet. New Zealand actually won him over because of its mountains.
Several westerns in the 60s used Waltham as their setting, thanks to the town's many saloons and burlesque theaters. Watch the credits carefully on TCM and you'll see the proof.
The newest Bond movie is actually being shot in beautiful Waltham...though most of it is car chases so it won't be immediately obvious. Watch for Green Lantern on the left about 20 minutes in.
