UPDATE: Becky Quick and “Becky Quick”


A week ago, SING ALL KINDS reported on local pop band 40 Watt Moon, who lyricized their ardor for CNBC anchor Becky Quick in the song, named, appropriately enough, “Becky Quick.” (Band member Chip Googe is an Account Executive for the Memphis Flyer.)

Since then, the story has traveled the information superhighway between Memphis and not-Memphis, having been picked up in notes from TVNewser and a North Carolina Biz Blog.

Although where somebody got the idea that 40 Watt Moon is a country band, we’ll never know.

In the way of things Internet, the news got back to newsbabe Quick, who has since been in contact with members of the band. The word on the street is that the song may make an appearance on Quick’s show “Squawk Box” tomorrow, Friday, May 29. Tune in to CNBC from 5-9 a.m. CST to find out. We’ll be.
