Musical Interlude: The Straw Hat Song (1968)

 From season 1 of The Mothers-in-Law:

Executive producer Desi Arnaz moved in front of the camera for a 2 part episode, culminating in a musical number in part 2, which we're showcasing. Son Desi, Jr. plays a courier who is recruited to play drums for a show in Mexico.

Following is "The Straw Hat Song". The show's regulars (Eve Arden, Herbert Rudley, Jerry Vogel, Deborah Walley, Kaye Ballard, & Roger C. Carmel) join the fun at the end of the song.


A few months later, Desi, Jr. and sister Lucie were cast on their mom's show, Here's Lucy, and both would make their fair share of TV-movies, albeit separately.
