Who can take great beauty and talent and slam it into the ground?

Old TV did this sort of thing all the time:



I found that clip in my search for a clip to pay tribute to Robert Goulet.

This is the most clumsily staged song. Did they even rehearse? Watch Goulet awkwardly thwack Julie Andrews on the stomach at 30 seconds. And then comes the comic banter about how sexy Peggy Lee and Robert Goulet are. This show seems to be from about 1973, and Goulet's hair and sexy manner exemplifies the way older adults channeled the youth culture of the day. But Goulet truly was extraordinarily handsome.

So let's roll it back a few years to a better era of male style, and let's have Goulet with 2 other singers again, make them men this times, and instead of bantering about sex, let's have them banter about cheese. It will be sexier!



Robert Goulet died yesterday. He died waiting for a lung transplant.
