I remember that episode best for the line flub in which Vivian Vance calls Lucille Ball "Lucy" instead of "Bessie," the name she's adopted when posing as the Mertzes' maid. (That's the sorrowful précis.)

Irving played Madame Lucy and led the ensemble "Debutantes" in this fun number in IRENE.

Glad to hear the song is being revived in BULLETS.

Too bad they can't interpolate Mr. Irving's unforgettable "The Butler's Song."

I played Mme. Lucy in a high school production of IRENE. One day I had the cast album playing at home while my grandfather was visiting, and when "They Go Wild, Simply Wild, Over Me" came on, he really brightened up and began singing the original lyrics. I'll never forget that.
