One of the quiet joys of David Letterman's show is the Paul Shaffer play-on. Mr. Shaffer always selects an appropriate song to perform for a few bars as a guest enters…and "appropriate" can mean a groan-inducing pun or a nugget of musical trivia.
The other night, Letterman's guest was Senator Jim Webb, who's touring the nation to promote his new book and to hint that he'd make a dandy running mate for Barack Obama. (I think he would, by the way.) Shaffer played him on with "Macarthur Park." I wonder how many people made the connection.
You don't have to write me and cite it to prove to me you did. I assume you did because you're smart enough to read this site. I'm just wondering how many other people got it.
