Dick Van Dyke was making the rounds last week celebrating his 90th birthday. I was going to say, "I hope I'm in half as good shape as that man when I'm 90" but I think I'd settle for being 50% as spry by this Christmas. Anyway, he was on with Conan O'Brien the other night and he brought along his singing group, The Vantastix, to perform this number along with Conan. Here it is as posted on YouTube…
Later in the show, there was a nice moment: The Brian Setzer Orchestra was on and in tribute to Dick, they played a nice "big band" rendition of the theme from The Dick Van Dyke Show. I originally embedded it in this spot but it was only available as a link to Conan's own site, which means it was loaded with advertising and didn't stop after that number but went on to play the rest of the show. Those embeds play havoc with some browsers so I took it out. If you want to see it, you can view it here.
