"Ain't Misbehavin'"

Tony Bennett complains that Haley is destroying the story of the song by singing as though she's addressing more than one lover. Haley comes onstage in a low-cut sequined dress which responds that the home audience does not watch a Haley Scarnato performance for the story of the freaking song. It's actually a decent Haley vocal, though hamstrung by a weird, burlesque-y arrangement with all sorts of tempo changes. The combination of song, singer and outfit practically beg for a creepy comment from Simon, and he obliges ("I think you've got great legs").
