Part 2 of 3 -- A highlight montage from The Love Boat in which Ethel Merman, Ann Miller, Carol Channing, Della Reese, Cab Calloway and Van Johnson join Captain Stubing and the crew for a musical extravaganza circa 1982 --- may cause seizures.
It is amazing they spend this much money, The cost of licensing this music was a major thing... probably the only record of these great stage stars and its on the Love Boat.
This is utterly demented, a somewhat mature Merman singing Everything's Coming Up Roses as a love song(!) to a rather terrified looking Van Johnson, it is almost like a surreal version of Forbidden Broadway, mesmerizing in it's unlikely madness.
But it was Merman's signature song so they had to get it in there somewhere and what better spot than one in which she is giving Van Johnson's character an ego boosting "speech"?
sweeties, why give negative comments about this ? if you arrived at this clip you are already 99,99 % certain of being either openly or latently gay,so enjoy that AND the great and unique fun of seeing these legends strut their stuff ! What ? You clicked on this link expecting Shakespeare ???

No, dear. The one known for wearing wigs was Carol Channing.

Yep. Known as a "Shirley Temple" - Grenadine (cherry syrup) and ginger ale with a cherry as a garnish.
