Classic Lickettes
The story was a rambling one, beginning with The Great Barrier Reef and Mohawks and laying out for Ultimate Frisbee before doubling back to a summer in San Francisco and a meeting with Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks.

The story was a rambling one, beginning with The Great Barrier Reef and Mohawks and laying out for Ultimate Frisbee before doubling back to a summer in San Francisco and a meeting with Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks, who happen to be coming to town on Friday.
So let's just cut to the video, from 1972 and the Flip Wilson Show.
