This is really more about the clip at the bottom of the post and what it represents in each of us. It's definitely still tied into the music theme of the blog, though. The song was written back in 1958 by Julius Dixson and Beverly Ross. It was most popularly and successfully covered by The Chordettes, as heard in the above video. There is little to no real meaning in the song. It was inspired by a lollipop that was stuck in Dixson's daughter's hair that caused him to be late to a writing session with Ross. After hearing the story of his tardiness, Ross sat down and wrote a version of the song on the spot.
It appears in the clip below on Cheers. It seems whenever people are confronted with the idea of getting on stage in front of an audience, their first reaction is to dismiss the idea as quickly as possible. The way a lot of people experience this is by taking part in some karaoke. Once they get over the initial shock of jumping up on stage, the adrenaline rush they feel makes them want to stay there.
That's the case here with Frazier from this classic "Cheers" clip. He's afraid, a little nervous, of singing in front of his barroom friends. Once he gets going, though, he can't get enough. Of course, he's more into the standards and Great American Songbook classics. Meanwhile, Norm and Cliff pick one of the most ridiculous radio hits ever, only to follow it up with an even more ridiculous display that only they could pull off together.
