 Lynda explained to audiences during her May 5, 2007 cabaret show in  San Francisco that when she filmed this special and sang the song  "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" that she did not have time to rehearse  with the military soldiers that were to be used during that specific  performance. While filming the segment various soldiers began  twirling real bayonets directly behind Lynda as she moved closer to  the camera. She said that a few of the sharp edges made contact with  her dress and many of sequins stitched onto the back of the dress  were scattered all over the floor.
