Julia Louis-Dreyfus in The Womb v. Liza Minnelli in The Rink

The 1984 play "The Rink" was NOT the hit that Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera and Kander and Ebb hoped it would be.  Beset by problems, and lacking any sweetness, it is nonetheless fondly remembered for its desperate TV spots; this one features the dizzying song "Colored Lights":

The only positive thing about all this is a parody for "The Womb," by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Mary Gross, which aired on SNL in 1984.  It was funny when I saw it years ago (knowing nothing of the ads for "The Rink"), and it's even funnier now.  In Tom Shales' 2002 book, Louis-Dreyfus says this piece is still popular in gay bars.

As a bonus, here's "The Apple Doesn't Fall Very Far From the Tree," one of the worst songs I've ever seen performed in red leather.
