Celebrity Rock: A Beatles medley (The Carol Burnett Show, 1967)

 From season 1 of The Carol Burnett Show, and courtesy of the series' official YouTube channel:

Carol and guests Bobbie Gentry, Gwen Verdon, & Phyllis Diller impersonate the Beatles in a medley of songs from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", including the title song, plus "With a Little Help From My Friends" (Phyllis as Ringo Starr) and "When I'm 64" (Carol & Gwen doing some soft shoe as John Lennon & George Harrison; Bobbie was Paul McCartney).


We all know Phyllis was a trained concert pianist, but she was given a trumpet, while Gwen played the keyboards. To think this episode premiered two weeks before Halloween......
