we were at some burger joint in Westlake, and him singing "The Impossible Dream" came on the TV.  I wondered, but didn't listen close enough to know.

"Jingle Bells
Batman smells
Robin laid an egg -- Hey!"

Best. Simpsons. Cameo. EVAH.

My mom LURVED Robert Goulet. We had a bunch of his LPs.  A relic of a bygone era (only Tony Bennett's left now, I guess).

I recently watched Atlantic City, which if you don't know it is a really good film, the one that made Susan Sarandon an A list actor.  Goulet plays himself, but it's not just for a performance number.

Please tell me he'd moved up to the Ricahrd Burton role at least (a bit long-in-the-tooth to be Lancelot at 64!)
