I think you can do better than just a lyric mention. Dave's worked with people, who've worked with people, who've worked with Al.

Only one good hotel in town, eh?

Thinking of possible hotel-operator, bellboy & baggage mishaps... that had the makings of quite a video.

Here's a little better one for David Letterman:

*Antonio Banderas was a guest on Dave's show, as was Madonna,
who did a film called "Truth or Dare" in which Antonio appeared.
*Madonna performed a different version of "Like a Virgin" in that film.
*Al parodied Madonna with "Like a Surgeon, and switched to what he calls the "Truth or Dare" version of the song shortly after the film came out.

Billy Boyd stars in "Lord Of the Rings". One of the Compossers for "Lord of The Rings is Sir James Galway. Sir James Galway played Flute and Tin Whistle on "My Heart Will Go On", Al parodies "My Heart Will Go On" in concert.
