The Dolly Show No. 110
Opening of The Dolly Show #110 with special guests Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. To the strains of Dolly's record "Love Is Like A Butterfly" we fade up on a plastic prop butterfly lit with pulsating pastel blue and violet lights. Camera pulls out to reveal the butterfly as part of a giant sparkly sign that reads simply "Dolly." As the sign rises into the rafters, the lights come up on the set and Dolly Parton is lowered from the ceiling on a swing as a voice-over announces her. To canned applause, Dolly steps off the red velvet swing in a sparkly white dress and sings "Proud Mary." Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., dressed in captain's uniforms, brandish life preservers that read "Proud Mary." McCoo and Davis do painfully unfunny introductory bit.
