In Popular Culture
The 2007 album Jarvis by British singer songwriter Jarvis Cocker features a song called From Auschwitz To Ipswich which features the line:
"Well if your ancestors could see you standing there They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire They had to fight just to survive So can't you do something with your life?"
The word Frigidaire sung to have the double meaning of expensive fridge and 'frigid hair'
The popular blues song "I'm gonna move to the outskirts of town", sung by Ray Charles mentions the brand:
"Let me tell you, honey
We gonna move away from here
I don't need no iceman
I'm gonna get you a Fridgidaire"
In "¡Bienvenido Mister Marshall!", the lyrics of the main song features:
"Los yanquis han venido, ole el salero, con mil regalos
y a las niñas bonitas van a obsequiarlas con aeroplanos.
Con aeroplanos de chorro libre,
que corta el aire
y también rascacielos bien conservados en Frigidaire.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
—Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)
“The white dominant culture seemed to think that once the Indians were off the reservations, they’d eventually become like everybody else. But they aren’t like everybody else. When the Indianness is drummed out of them, they are turned into hopeless drunks on skid row.”
—Elizabeth Morris (b. c. 1933)
