“Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women!”

Funshine Friday madness has arrived! Here’s a rather bizarre and slightly wonderful song entitled “Cigarettes & Whiskey.” The old timey temperance tune is sung by the great Peter Sellers as part of his hosting duties for The Muppet Show. It was filmed in December of 1977.

*Interesting thought: The Muppet Show had a huge children’s viewership. Would this pass today’s TV censors?
