Okay, not having a dig at Heston (well, not *just* having a dig at Heston), but for a big band and single, this is a pure garbage video that is, I suppose, representative of the song and era.

Lotta great contenders from 80s/90s Beach Boys. Here's one:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!
