 Producer Steve Binder (qv) once told a story about how something  came to be cut from the show. He said that there was a musical  number that suggested that Elvis went to a brothel. A network  executive wanted the number cut. Binder asked him to reconsider. One  time, while in the video editing room, they were reviewing the  scene. Nearby, an episode of _"Dean Martin Show, The" (1965)_ (qv)  was also being edited. A scene with Martin and one of his dancers  was being edited that had every suggestive sex joke possible and the  executive laughed. Binder asked him if the brothel scene bothered  him so much, why didnt the sex jokes on the Martin show bother him.  The executive answered that the other show "was funny". Binder said  he never understood that distinction.
