    That hot saxophone duet! I liked it better than the show!

    Also, "Seventy-Seven, Sunset Strip"! (You meet the highbrows and the hipsters; the call girls and the phony tipsters. You meet most every kind of girl and guy, including a private eye!)

    And as an artifact of the primordial music video age, don't forget "The Monkees".

    And finally, two words: "Perry Mason". that was such a powerful opener, that as a little kid of about 5 or 6, long before I was old enough to enjoy the show, I would "mime" Perry's actions to the music.

    And I may as well throw in "Peter Gunn".
