I am now sitting here thinking of the image of Tommy's baby doing the
hanky panky, vs. one of Cole Porter's high society friends beginning the
beguine.  . . . . . 

. . . . . . . .   Tommy's baby wins!

But then again, Cary mentioned Eleanor Powell's tap dancing.  I think I
might be able to go with Eleanor Powell doing the hanky panky.  Yeah,
that's an image I could live with . . . . .
