  • The Dean Martin Christmas Show (December 21, 1972).
    NOTE: RUclips didn't allow me to place the corresponding original performances from the musical "Till The Clouds Roll By", so these are missing, as well as a performance from Lynn Anderson.
    Musical numbers:
    Dean Martin and The Golddiggers - " A Marshmallow World".
    Dean Martin and The Golddiggers - Medley consisting of snippets of many songs, and ending in a big finish with "Style".
    Dean Martin and Lynn Anderson - Medley: "This Old House" and "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To".
    Dean Martin - "I'll Be Home For Christmas".
    Movies Finale pays musical tribute to "Till The Clouds Roll By" (1947).
    Comedy includes:
    Dom DeLuise and Lynn Anderson play a bickering Mr. and Mrs. Claus. After spending the night on the town, Santa comes home to his angry wife...

    I love how he flubs the lyrics on the very first line "It's a marshmallow world in the winter." Dean sings "It's a marshmallow world whenyafinnan"! Hilarious! He just smoothly goes on as if nothing happened. What a pro!

    Mr. Dean Martin was the epitome of cool and class!! The man just knew what to say, and was an expert at using body language. ......It is said that he and Sinatra had all the brods they wanted. It's easy to see why. He had a great life.

    The Christmas show from 1968 was much more Christmasy. If you missed that one, go check it out.
