I want to write a Christmas chickflick that involves a performance of this song.

Reasons why this is the best idea ever:

  1. I have always truly and deeply felt that Sally was the unsung hero of the Dick Van Dyke Show.  She should have gotten a spinoff a la Rhoda and Phyllis where she just interviewed the dudes who answered her personal ad (remember that episode?!) via webcam and gave Rob and Buddy sideways glances when they made stupid jokes.
  2. THAT DRESS.  I want that dress so badly.  I realize this has nothing to do with the song.
  3. A Christmas chickflick with a performance of this song would be great if the song were just randomly placed in the plot while some unnamed girl sits on her couch in a zebra-striped Snuggie with a pint gallon of peanut butter ice cream and an inflatable Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer weeping softly as she watches The Santa Clause 2 for the eighth time in two weeks until suddenly Sally shows up in an Old Navy commercial and urges her to get up off her ass and SING.  I have no frame of reference for this unnamed girl, I was totally making it up I swear.

I am so on board with this.
