It also works with Pia Zadora, but for some reason I think it's funnier with Peter Coyote.

France Joli, for me, harks to the early 80s Enjoli commercial jingle:

lol I remember that commercial... was surprised years later to hear the Peggy Lee version and realize it was a real song

I looked it up on YouTube and it is actually late 70s.

Bryan Adams's "Please Forgive Me" entered my head yesterday and wouldn't leave for hours.
but then inexplicably my brain made it a more mush-mouthed version that sounded like "Please Zbigniew, I know not what I do", so now that's all I can hear.

Lately when I feed my cats I find myself singing "foooood for caaaaats" to the tune of the Squeeze song "Cool for Cats."
This is in addition to the longstanding mental association with the old Far Side CAT FUD cartoon.
But the two don't really work together. I don't sing "fuuuuud for caaats." It's definitely "foooood for caaaaats."
