Opening of The Dolly Show #112 with special guest Lynn Anderson. 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 Lynn Anderson, dressed as Dolly Parton (complete with red dress decorated with a rhinestone flower and massive fake bust), is lowered from the ceiling on a swing as a voice-over announces Dolly. To canned applause, Lynn Anderson as Dolly steps off the red velvet swing and sings "That'll Be The Day." The real Dolly immediately interrupts the proceedings, and she and Anderson compare notes on whether or not Anderson's costume is "too much." "That'll be the day" is Anderson's response, and the two of them duet on the rest of the song. Parton blows a line, singing that she doesn't care that she forgot it, and in general is on the verge of hysterics for the remainder of the song, giggling madly. Afterwards Anderson, referring to her imitation bust line, says "All this excess baggage is hard on my lungs," and Dolly looks Anderson up and down, saying "Is that how I look?" Funny, surreal, charming clip.
