Can you all see Looney Tunes and Bugs,Elmer,Sylvester and the random other lesser known 1 time charachters in their place!? Wow! what an influence Kaye and Sills had on the Toons of the 40,s and 50's!!!

is there sheet music for this????????

I love seeing how much fun they are both having around 5:10!
For those who weren't around U.S. television at the time to catch the references: At 5:05, Ms. Sills sings a reference from a Kentucky Fried Chicken advertisement. Around 6:03 is the song straight from a popular Meow Mix cat food advertisement . The "Dy-no-mite" reference (1:27) was a very popular catch-phrase from a character on the sit-com "Good Times."
Danny's part borrows from his excellent 1945 movie "Wonder Man."

It was in color. We had it for music classes and her dress is a lovely medium blue. Went with her wonderful hair color. The whole program was wonderful and great for kids to see.

It was broadcast in Color in the U.S.
Other countries did not have color until much later. Also, the networks sometimes only made a copy of a show in B+W for posterity. Color debuted (as we know it now) on 12/17/53, and I remember seeing it in the late 50's but it only became common in the 60's.

Delightful! Beverly and Danny are wonderful together and seem to be having a splendid time mixing grand opera with contemporary music (even the famous MEOW MIX jingle!). What a pity that good, clean entertainment like this is so rarely seen today. Thanks for sharing.
