This unusual duet was preceded by the familiar pageant of the parade of nations, in which swaggering jocks are transformed into Model U.N. delegates thanks to enduring fashion stereotypes. The Bermudans wore their shorts; Tonga had grass skirts; the Japanese showed up in neon Hello Kitty-ish floral patterns; and the Americans, cautioned against excessive displays of national pride, strolled into the stadium in what appeared to be pajamas and--sacre bleu!--berets...
...solo on Flying Home that became legendary. He was a master of the style known as screeching and was equally adept at slow ballads. In addition to playing with most of the jazz giants of his era, he was invited by President Bill Clinton to perform a duet on the White House lawn at his first Inauguration...

Even in this meticulous recreation of the 1953 show, there's a slightly lesbic undertone to the crooning and caressing in Ruth and Eileen's plaintive duet "Ohio." The plaintivenss of Ruth's can't-get-a-date plight is underlined by her kid sister's attractiveness to every member of the opposite sex. (When Eileen is briefly imprisoned, she gets fawning butler and bodyguard service from the cops who have fallen for her.) It doesn...
