huh? Dean Martin where what now?

[eruthros]

They just played Dean Martin's "Sway" on CSI. "Sway" is one of my favorite gone-through-kitsch-and-come-out-the-other-side songs ever. I mean, I don't like Dean Martin much at all, but that song's fabulous.

And it seems incredibly random to hear it on CSI. I mean, it's not exactly a famous song, really. But it does have incredibly hilarious lyrics, although really it's his emphasis that really makes the song.

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease

When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

... ooooh, Nicholas Lea! Clearly I haven't been paying attention if I didn't know he was guest starring on the show...
