[Mysterious Benefactor]

  

Complete this phrase: "Suddenly Vicki and Burke were startled by...!!"

[Uncle Roger]

A musical number by Dino, Desi and Billy

[Mysterious Benefactor]

   That's a blast from the past! 

Though you know what, as well known as they were back in the day, and I remember them appearing on all sorts of TV shows, but I couldn't name even one of their songs if someone offered to pay me a million dollars...

[Uncle Roger]

The only song that I am slightly familiar with is a Lee Hazlewood number called Not The Loving Kind. It's a downbeat number given an improbably peppy arrangement. Lee later recorded it with a much slower tempo and a superior vocal by Nancy Sinatra. Though I am admittedly somewhat prejudiced there.
There is a very weird clip of Dino, Desi and Billy doing the Royal Crown Cola jingle. Complete with them guzzling it down backstage at the Hollywood Bowl. Those decadent rock stars.
And it also shows a sign at The Hollywood Bowl that says Please Keep Off The Stage. I'll be moderately nice and not comment any further. 😉😉😉

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  After that, no further comment is really necessary!!    Although, at least they had one thing going for them that dozens of other celebrity recording artists didn't, they actually played their own instruments...)
