Hit the Floor and Crawl to Daddy

Sammy Davis Jr. in Sweet Charity (1969) as Daddy - a trendy underground church / cult leader named Daddy who sings the genius lyric: "There's a million pigeons waiting to be hooked on new religions."

She's around the 4:15 mark - I'm not going to spoil it!

You can catch the rest of the clips here.
