I don't know so much that he was making fun of her vibrato in WMYTYTO. They were talking about how Lindsey was influenced by the emerging new wave scene of the late 70's and early 80's and other singers were doing that sort of thing. Listen to Cyndi Lauper's first album, even though that was a few years later, she does it a lot, especially on the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun b-side Right Track Wrong Train. I think he was just trying to be new wave.
I didn't really think TKOL was about Lindsey, I just figured it was a little nod to him. But yeah, given the time I don't think she would have been that affectionate to do so.
And off on a tangent, anyone here from Canada hear of a show called Corner Gas. I recently saw an episode where they made a joke about how the characters in this small town love their acronyms and they go on to spout off some really long almost absurd ones, and I thought to myself, "eh, the Ledgies put them to shame". LOL!
