Okay, this is stupid, but it's also buggin' my brain...
I have a buncha tapes of Nick@Nite. So, I see a lot of shows like All in the Family, Roseanne, Cheers... all the old GOOD shit, right?
Well, there's this one episode of Cheers where there is such a HUGE mistake I can't believe I've never heard of it before. There's one episode where Sam is trying to get into Rebecca's pants... again. (Yes, I know. There are MANY episodes like that. Stick with me here...)This time, he's trying to figure out her musical trigger. Calls her Mom, finds out that she positively melts when she hears "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by The Righteous Bros. So, he gets a tape of A song, plays it and she resists long enough to get Sam outta her office, then lays a liplock on Norm that nearly kills him. Only problem?
The song Sam plays for her, that gets her into such a tizzy ISN'T the right one.
The one he plays for her, the one that she freaks out on Norm because of, is "Unchained Melody" (Percy Sledge), not "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling". Idiots. Whew. Thanks.
I feel lots better now that I've got THAT out.
(Best to NOT mess with ME when it comes to 60's & 70's songs, don'tcha know.)

Reminds of an episode back when I was a fact checker at USNew & World Report. One of the 'name' writers (cough)Gloria Borger(cough) had a piece on Sen. Kerry (not the candidate - the other one) which made mention of someone singing "Waltzing Matilda." Well, the source material showed that it wasn't "Waltzing Matilda," it was Eric Bogle's "And the Band Played 'Waltzing Matilda'" which is a gut-wrenching song about war-wounded veterans returning to Australia from the hell they experienced at Gallipoli.
Bottom line, she wanted to call it "Waltzing Matilda" for space considerations. Really ticked me off and I don't even remember what was done though I think they killed the song ref entirely.

If my pickled brain cell serves me correctly, didn't Rightous Bro's ALSO do a song called "unchained melody"????

Yeah, I think they did, but it's still not the right song... *grin*
