Seth Rudetsky chose to focus on a rare less-than-stellar Uggams moment—an incident that had faded into obscurity until brought to newfound infamy via YouTube. Uggams tells the story of how she almost had to invent a new language to cover the “slipped” lyrics during a live performance of Rodgers and Hammerstein's “June is Bustin' Out All Over.”
