Billy Crystal created the hilarious parody of the Hollywood Star Fernando Lamas, who was most famous for his Latin charme and his fairy tale marriage to Hollywood's definitive Bathing Beauty Esther Williams. - "You Look Maaahvelous" has become a 1980's catch phraze like "Where's the beef?" or "Who shot J.R.?". The novelty record barely charted in the Hot 100, but remains a curiosity and a papatable dance club favorite.
@sphinxsarcophagus Yes, he did. It's a club scene...he's sitting in a booth, another scene has him dancing with a tall women as his head only came to her breasts. Ha!
He had celebrity look-a-likes in the video, too. I've seen it on Youtube before, but can't find it, now.
It used to air on TV, years ago and I probably have it on a VHS tape, but where the tape is...I have no idea. :-)

This is the bombdiggy of early days of rap parody. This track is in the mix with Prince, Midnight star, etc. They used to mainly play this on black radio and RNB radio stations in LA, San Diego, San Fran. really big in Orlando FL.
