At first a complete head scratcher because I was using my mad meta decoding skills and not seeing any secret passageways. In other words working too hard for a meta with an easy rating. Then I googled and there it was. I remember the song but not the lyrics that apply… cute idea!
The other Wendy. :roll:

I had the same feeling, and the same post-puzzle earworm. I had to look in about six or seven places but I finally found it. I put it in Crosshare comments so as not to spoil.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Thank you!! Good to know I’m not crazy. (No comments from the peanut gallery on that subject, please:)
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Fini.

Unboxed (which is also a compilation album by Sammy Hagar, which is totally unrelated to the meta)

I have definitely left the box
I now have to go to detox
To solve this fine puzzle
I first had to guzzle
Each theme answer on the rocks.

Thanks for a firecracker of a puzzle WIll

(Edited to fit the metre of a good limerick - with which this should not of course be confused)
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

This was not "easy" for a 63 year old! Out of the box with a nudge from @BarbaraK, who is better at Google search than I am!

Took me a minute (and a google search) but now the song's stuck in my head. Good one!
