    The actress at 5:48 is NOT Judy Gold (never heard of her) it is Eugenie Ross-Leming.

    Does anyone know if John is parodying somene during his guitar performance? I picked up on some lyrics of his Cocker ‘homage’ Lonely At The Bottom that he did with Lemmings the next year, but he did seem to be ‘doing’ Cocker. Anyone know?

    *sigh* Harold Ramis
