“Pat sings "Tutti Frutti" on some unspecified black-and-white TV show⟳ in front of a stylized jukebox stage⟳ set⟳, intoning the words with a croony formality that totally contradicts their exultory intent, jerking his body in an uncomfortable approximation of dancing, one set⟳ of fingers snapping in an up-and-down motion while the other spazzes from side to side.”
