Yes, it's June. And, as for most Broadway aficionados, it's all about singer and actress Leslie Uggams' battle with Oscar Hammerstein II's lyrics to a song from Carousel on a certain Fourth of July. This video (which you can see below) has provided countless hours of entertainment over the years. For those unaware, this wonderful and indefatigable performer experienced an actor's nightmare LIVE on national television while singing her heart out while not knowing the words to "June is Bustin' Out All Over." Once you've seen it, you can't forget it. And it truly gives new meaning to the words "amazing grace."

Her rendition of the song, which aired live on PBS, was performed at a Fourth of July concert outdoors in Washington, D.C on the Capitol lawn. Those who saw it in its one-and-only broadcast would most probably have forgotten it if not for the help of a rewind button. Recorded and preserved on the now antiquated VHS tape system, it got resuscitated about a decade later when a little thing called the internet came along. What Ms. Uggams might have once figured long dead was suddenly not. As you will see in this particular send up, if you stick past the initial go-round, someone had an awfully good time making it even more hilarious by way of clever subtitles and editing (the culprit's name is Matt Macis).

As Joe Biden says, "here's the deal." If this performance proves anything it's that 1) Leslie Uggams has an amazing voice and 2) that she is a consummate professional. In spite of the fact she has no grasp on the lyrics, she keeps going full-throttle as if without a care in the world. She was in front of hundreds, maybe thousands, of people outdoors, as well as live on national television with millions watching at home. A little stressful, to be sure.

But, as always, there's a story on what went wrong that July 4th. It was told by Uggams herself to Sirius Satellite Radio host Seth Rudetsky on a 2012 episode of Seth’s Broadway Chatterbox. You can watch it, or read the highlights transcribed below:
