I love the part that goes "and then Betsy got tight and showed off her bottom to the whole caravan"

Ah-- an intellectual! ;-)

How do you find so many photos from the movie? The highlight for me was the Huckleberry Hound montage! And the censored clip was priceless. We used to sing Clementine in grade school. I never knew it was so dark. He's in good voice here. Fun songs.

I took the screencaps myself ("Dude" is available on DVD). I'm glad someone got the Huckleberry Hound bit-- I ran this one by my kids before I posted it, and they were mystified ("What does that cartoon have to do with Eddie Albert?" they asked). That they failed to catch such an important cultural reference made me feel I'd failed as a parent! :-)

[delusionaldiminutive]

Yes quite :) It's even better when the creepy female chorus sings it back. Ah hokeyness. I really like Eddie Albert but that chorus is just obnoxious.
