History
When the Simpson family went to Books! Books! And Additional Books!, Lisa bought two books: a biography of Peter Ueberroth and Al Gore's new book, Sane Planning, Sensible Tomorrow. She said she hoped that Gore's new book was as exciting as his previous one, Rational Thinking, Reasonable Future.
When the bookstore clerk scanned Sane Planning, Sensible Tomorrow at the cash register, a signal traveled to The Pentagon and Gore was notified that someone had finally bought a copy of it. When he got the news, he said, "Well, this calls for a celebration." Gore then put on an LP record and played the song "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang. When the song got to the lyric, "Celebrate good times", Gore even-tonedly said, "I will."
