1961 was a year that can be read the same whether viewed normally or upside-down. That won't happen again until 6009.

In this particular case, I remembered that it was on the cover of one of my copies of
Mad magazine from that era.
This should be easy: I can be a breakfast entree or a sexy young singer. What am I?
