In Defense of "Moments to Remember"
Each week, they presented the songs in a different staging. Sometimes, a song would be on the charts for so long that they'd start running out of ways to present it...and the stagings would start getting increasingly queer. I think this is what happened with "Moments to Remember".
Oh yeah, and look out for Thelma "Tad" Tadlock in both "Yellow Rose of Texas" and "Autumn Leaves".
It seems nobody put any research into the "Yellow Rose" number...
