Oscar medley: NOT EVEN NOMINATED with Sammy Davis, Hr. and Steve Lawrence

Here's Sammy Davis, Jr. and Steve Lawrence performing an intricate 10-minute medley of songs that were never nominated for an Academy Award.  This is PITCH PERFECT, and considering that they didn't have months of rehearsal, it's even more amazing.  This is my new favorite thing next to this scat battle between Mel Torme and Ella Fitzgerald.
Interesting that they even included the then-new "Stayin' Alive."
From the 1979 Oscar ceremony:
