5. Fred Astaire sings "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails." From the movie Top Hat.
6. Woody Woodpecker and Wally Walrus debate just what is a top hat.
7. Gene Watson gives birth to a great phrase in his song "All Hat No Cattle."

Apologies to: Prince and his Raspberry Beret, the men Waiting for Godot, the Mad Hatter, Davy Crockett, Laurel and Hardy, and every character from Miller’s Crossing. Maybe next time.
