...Dolly tangles with her alcoholic ex-singing partner, who is also her ex-husband (as in Tender Mercies). Dolly teaches Sly to move country-style (as in the Let's Hear It for the Boy sequence from Footloose). Sly belts out Little Richard's rave-up Tutti-Frutti before an incredulous audience (as in another of this week's culture clashes, Top Secret...

...Myself," a stomper in the best rockabilly tradition, Gordon throttles his voice in syncopation to the insistent beat while "The Three R's" echo the refrain. "Black Slacks," a two- minute tribute to sartorial splendor, careens like Ben Hur's chariot. It's sort of like "Tutti Frutti." Gordon sings...
