This performance of this song is my favorite musical performance in the history of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Actually, the competition isn't that crowded for that category - for whatever reason there were only a handful of good musical performances that come to mind readily.
But almost as impressive as this performance is how it exists on youtube. This performance was originally uploaded to youtube from someone's VHS copy but this video is officially released from the record company and in HD. That means that a record company had to be aware of an old TV performance, value it enough to contact NBC and Conaco to negotiate the rights, obtain those rights, obtain an HD copy and convert it for youtube upload. That's something I would have thought impossible. Everyone watching old clips on youtube wishes there was a better quality version but this time it actually happened.
The only thing I would change now would be the way Conan says "Kentuckyyy".
