[mojohelmet]

i taped this on vhs when it was first shown back in the 90s! ive made back up copies too, just in case. i love what she says about latoya jackson....priceless bette.

[chefmikehenry]

Why has she never released this song? I loved it when I first heard it on her Art or Bust concert.

[IncognitoShhh]

i'm a 45 year old gay man and I have been in love with this woman since I laid eyes on her nearly 30 years ago. i still wanna marry her !

[atomus]

@IncognitoShhh And then what? I doubt she wants to live in a sexless marriage.

[KidzridezChgo]

Was this before or after she filmed Hocus Pocus?

[CeCeLeighCMD92]

This was in 1991, and the film Hocus Pocus was released in 1993

[parishiltonrocks]

I love this song! Is it on any of her albums? I can't find it :(

[lovebettemidler]

[nzleslie1]

Bette, you're the best!!

[xXxXOogieXBoogieXxXx]

Did she ever record this song?

[Mazartz]

The first time I ever heard this song was from the 'Art or Bust' concert video - which I WISH they would bring out on DVD as it is absolutely brilliant! Don't think she has ever made a studio recording of it.

[wackojacko13]

She should though. It is one of her best!

[xXBetteMidler4evaXx]

[iaminthburg]

Gotta play it again; gotta write down those jokes.

[xXxXOogieXBoogieXxXx]

haha, that's what I did! I tell them at school to my friends! Obviously out of earshot of the teachers tho, lol!

[mgmbacklot]

I worked for Arsenio at the time of this taping. I watched all through rehearsals all afternoon, just 10 feet away from her. She was very nice to me. She was there to promote her film "For the Boys" in December of 1991

It was commented on another YouTube continuation of this interview that it was the first week of December 1991. I remember watching this in the bar at the time. I really felt old when I saw the date.
