Did you ever see the Cheers episode where Lilith finds out that Frasier was married before, to "Nanny G," a children's singer? She sings at his son's birthday party and the song is "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." Frasier tries to pass it off as a song for his son, rather than Nanny G hitting on him. Then Nanny G sings "the first time, ever I lay with you" with a meaningful glance at Frasier and Lilith tackles her...
You are my star pupil.
Wow, I didn't know about lady Godiva's story! Pretty cool.
At times I'd like to break you
And drag you to the ground.....
That doesn't look like you!
BTTT
Can't believe I missed that!
Who played Nanny G?
My hair was shorter - and brown - then...
I don't think it was anyone well known. I was not a huge Cheers fan, but the scene is hilarious. Lilith refers to the first wife as "Nanny G Spot" and while the women are slugging it out, Frasier tells Sam that it's the proudest moment of his life, or something like that. Kelsey Grammar has a real gift for delivering his lines....
I have it on CD. I loved Elton John mightily, up until about "The Fox" album.
And the subsequent breast reduction surgery was successful, I presume?
John Davidson? That's Incredible!
Did he release that on an album, or did he perform on "The Mike Douglas Show"?
I can see clearly now
the rain is gone
I can see all the ostacles
in my way....
OMG! ROFLMAO--and recalling many, many more nightmares from Detroit including the Chevette...eeeeesh.
When my Ford Fairmont was in the shop, borrowed my friend's Chevette for a nursing school project. The Chevette broke down--coasting to a dead stop at the entrance to a cemetery. Very appropriate.
They weren't hip-huggers, they had a seam that ran up the back of the leg and framed your rear-end, then ran back the other leg. They were sexxxxyyyy.
Ooops, I spoke too soon. Per Google, Nanny Gee (not "G") is played by Emma Thompson! Then later she appears on "Frasier" played by Laurie Metcalf.
Emma Thompson played Nanny G
