My Second-Favorite of All 144 Episodes

Aspiring songwriter Craig meets Ann-Margret, who wants to use his self-penned tune in her upcoming TV Special.

This is fantastic episode that allows Desi Jr to be both adorable and sexy as heck. It would be a 10/10 if the first act was funnier. When Lucy says "My voice isn't what it used to be" I wanted to say "We know, dear".

The entire "seduction" scene in Ann's hotel room is wonderful as a practically giddy Craig is almost levitating in anticipation when A-M leaves the room to "slip into something more comfortable". He pantomimes being a suave, sophisticated man-of-the-world until A-M emerges wearing a bathrobe, slippers, and curlers in her hair.

The piece de resistance is the final act where Craig and A-M perform his song "Country Magic". A lot of the musical numbers in any LUCY series could be lame and creaky, but not this one. It sizzles and Craig has an "Elvis '68 Comeback Special" vibe goin' on. A-M totally rocks a fringed black jumpsuit and their chemistry is HOT. Proud Mama Lucy comes onstage at the end and A-M gestures that Craig is the one to watch.

I love this episode! It's my second-favorite of the entire series due to Desi's performance and the scorching musical number.
