...FROG-POND SHALLOWNESS of Fairchild's acting ability-her transformation from chaser to chasee hasn't made her act any better-make you feel more like you're flipping through the pages of Playboy than patronizing a theater.

...documentary, half musical extravaganza. The show, Get High on Yourself, also centers on the jingle, which is presented five times in pop, rock, acid rock, country and gospel versions. Warbling it among a huge cast will be 55 entertainment and sports celebrities, ranging from tuneful Olivia Newton-John to frog-flat Paul Newman. (Among others: John Travolta, Cheryl Tiegs, Tracy Austin, Muhammad Ali, Carol Burnett.) A week later the NBC campaign will close in a Bob Hope special, with a call by the comedian for a continuing, nationwide antidrug alert...
