Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud
This version makes me cringe, but I can't take my eyes off it. And it sounds wonderful.

I knew someone would reference that. It was only a matter of who.
What was the movie or show, I wonder - something Disney? I see Jim Backus 'singing' bass, but it's really Thurl Ravenscroft ('Mr Grinch') - I think I would know that bass anywhere. And it looks like maybe Jerry Van Dyke singing tenor.
"A little more schmaltz on the harmony!" I wonder what that was intended to mean. I know it's a Jewish/Yiddish word for a dish made of rendered chicken fat, but the metaphor eludes me.
The rich chicken fat in the foods led to a metaphor about excessive sentimentality.
