Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a song from the early '80s
I really didn't know what to call this one; and I don't really know how to introduce it, either. So I guess these vague sentiments will just have to do! The answer to the meta is a song from the early '80s. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=195217#p195217
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
