    Peking.

    (although Peking and Beijing are the same word, technically)

    Point of Order.

    Peking and Beijing are the same word, just different renderings with english letters.

    They both mean "Northern Capital" in Chinese, and it's just a different way of representing the same set of chinese characters in english.

    Whoever said Beijing was correct.

    because...

    You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
    You really are a heel,
    You're as cuddly as a cactus,
    You're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch,
    You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

    You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
    Your heart's an empty hole,
    Your brain is full of spiders,
    You have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch,
    I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine & a half foot pole!

    You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
    You have termites in your smile,
    You have all the tender sweetness
    Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch,
    Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!


    You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch,
    You're the king of sinful sots,
    Your heart's a dead tomato
    Splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch,
    You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

    You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
    With a nauseous super 'naus'!
    You're a crooked dirty jockey
    And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch,
    Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!

    You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
    You're a nasty wasty skunk,
    Your heart is full of unwashed socks
    Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch,
    The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote 'Stink, stank, stunk'!

    The answer I was looking for was Girl on the run. McQueen was also uncredited for Somebody up there likes me.
