The album contains almost no musical numbers, the overwhelming place here is occupied by humorous sketches and monologues. Most of the jokes are about the stars: Madonna ( " Like a virgin ...? Which is touched for the first time ...? For the first time for these knocks!" ), Also got Meryl Streep , Bruce Springsteen , Olivia Newton-John and others. The accompanist for the piano was Mark Sheiman. You can also hear Midler perform the song “Otto Titsling”, which in three years she will include in the soundtrack to the film “ On the Beach ”.
