First time I've heard Vic doing the "neat...sweet...petite" bit. Glad they had Ted Cassidy dub those lines.

A rendition of this should've been used for the cold open for the pilot for Wednesday.

People talk only about Wednesday nowadays, but they forget how much of a banger this was before. EVERYONE knew this song at some point.
