A Performance from Schmigadoon!: Tribulation | The Tonight Show
I didn't get to see Schmigadoon! on TV, but I think one of the conceits is parodies of well-know musical theater tunes.
I wonder how many more parodies of "Trouble!" there have been - the one I know best is "Monorail!"

The TV version
People should listen to both of these, then listen to Robert Preston's recording of "Trouble!" to appreciate what he did.
Chenoweth and Gasteyer are both very talented vocalists and know how to sing a song for meaning as well. But having a good vocal instrument isn't the whole shebang. And Preston, despite not having what most would call a standout vocal instrument, did such an amazing read of that song. Every phrase had such oomph to it, beyond the actual notes written.
