Rest in peas, Marvin Hamlisch. Rest in peas.

As you probably know, legendary composer Marvin Hamlisch died Monday at the age of 68. As you probably don't know -- I mean, really, how could you? -- the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the words "Marvin Hamlisch" is a little remembered guest appearance he made on David Letterman's show sometime in the early 1990s.

What, you ask, could be so memorable about that guest spot that it supercedes Hamlisch's writing of "Nobody Does It Better" from "The Spy Who Loved Me" in my head? Well, here's your answer....



Now be honest: You're going to have "Pea Boy, can't you see, boy, all the great joy that you spread" running through your skull for weeks! Isn't that better than some damned Streisand tune?
