Solving this diagramless crossword from the very top and then up from the very bottom proceeds normally for a time, yielding the following top and bottom pieces:
Solving the clues between the very bottom and the very top yields answers which all start with A at the top. After a bit these jump back to AAA and then are in normal alphabetical order. At the bottom of the seemingly ordered section are words which start with Z, as expected. However, the words after ZZZ are obviously not exactly where they should be.
As hinted at in the crossword itself ("YAKKO", "MEXICAN HAT DANCE", and "ENGLISH LANGUAGE", among others), the answer words immediately after the top of the crossword (from AARDVARK to AFRAID) and immediately before the end (from ZACHARY to ZAIRE) are the starting and ending lyrics to "Yakko Warner Sings All the Words In The English Language".
The parts of the song that were broadcast also included a section in the L's from LEVEL to LUTE. Solvers who find this section (which starts where LEVEL is alphabetically) should observe that the clues for the first 25 of these words form an acrostic which spells out the answer, which is LIZ LEMON GREEK FROZEN YOGURT.
