Here's one from the days when rasslin' was still real.
This next video comes from a play. The storyline at this point is that the star talent hasn't showed up yet, so this is an attempt to stall for time. The woman who keeps looking out the window is anxious, hoping the real star arrives soon. I haven't actually seen the play, so take all that with a grain of salt. What appears obvious though is that she fails to appreciate Glenn Miller's orchestra performing the song big band style, Tex Avery putting a bit of a lounge style spin on it, and Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas brothers tap show, any of which could have qualified for the finale of a concert back in that day.
