27 Indispensable Musical Performances In Non-Musical TV Shows

From:  Boy Culture
#7 
"Blue Moon" & "I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out" from Moonlighting
(1985)

SONGS
First, I can't get enough of this series. Second, Cybill Shepherd was gorgeous during its run, fully ripe, and a fantastic singer. This episode, with a prologue by Orson Welles (the last creative thing he ever did; the last thing he ever filmed was a Merv Griffin episode the day he died), fully capitalized on the show's daring creativity and the palpable chemistry between the leads. Shepherd does a lovely take on "Blue Moon," but I prefer her delightful vamping in "I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out," which is much more suited to the disposition of one "Ms. Maddie Hayes." Rita Hayworth would approve.

CHOICE LYRIC: 
"Everything's rosey
Everything's jake
But just how much can a good gal take?"
