Liz Taylor and Richard Burton argue (and argue) in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Bo Diddley demands Who Do You Love? Horton first hears a Who. The residents of Whoville celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. The Baha Men launch an ear worm called Who Let the Dogs Out? Abbot and Costello figure out Who's on First.
