Roxanne: (after Warren finishes his song) Warren, you're going to make a terrible priest. (awkward silence) What you should be is a singer. (edit)
Warren: Actually, there’s a song I kind of wrote…For you.
Roxanne: Is the word "easy" in the title? (edit)
Jack: (picking up a red cookie) What the hell did you do to these things
Helen: A little red food dye… (Jack looks confused) Valentines Day?

Trivia

During a tv broadcast mention was made of Cassius Clay changing his name to Muhammad Ali. The goof: American Dreams was supposed to be Valentine'sDay (2/14/64) or at least within a couple days. Cassius Clay fought Sonny Liston for the Heavyweight title on Feb 25 1964 and won. He startled the world shortly thereafter by announcing that he joinedthe Nation of Islam nd changed his name. All this happened about two weeks after the dance was supposed to happen. (On February 25, 1964, in Miami Beach, Florida, Clay waged his
first challenge for the heavyweight championship in a match against Sonny
Liston. Though Liston was thought by many boxing experts to be invincible,
the brash 22-year old Clay spent the weeks leading up to the fight
entertaining reporters and fans with colorfully-worded promises of his
impending victory. In one of the most stunning upsets in boxing history,
Clay delivered on his promise, knocking Liston out in the seventh round.

Shortly after the fight, Cassius Clay startled the sports world by
announcing that he had joined the Nation of Islam and had changed his name
to Muhammad Ali. Ali defended his heavyweight crown in nine matches over the
next two years. His title was revoked in 1967 when, citing his Islamic
faith, he refused induction into the United States military and was
sentenced to a five-year prison term.) (edit)
Other than the list of songs that Luke rattled off as love songs included three that were not in existence at Feb 64 and the fact that Vanessa Carlton sang a Bandstand featured song that wasn't released until at least two months later (Wishin + Hopin). Also Herman's Hermits "i'm into something good" was not released until Nov 1964 (9 months later!). (edit)
