"Start Me Up"! That was classic.

Maybe it was because it was late and I was tired, but it actually didn't sound like "Start Me Up" to me and I kept wondering if that was what it was. Maybe it was that they lyrics are so hard to understand on the original.

I certainly didn't realize that song was so raunchy, in a double-to-single endentre-ish sort of a way. (That line about hands getting "greasy" was a little more porno than I would've guessed.) Which, of course, made it all the funnier. Especially having those words sung by Harry Schearer in a dress.

I loved how they stayed in character and Conan kept addressing Harry as "Marta."
