The “Lido deck” is the disco deck.
When I was on Capitol Hill, supposedly Rep. Fred Grandy was on the elevator in one of the House Office Buildings. An intern got on, and quipped, “Lido deck, please” and was fired shortly thereafter.
McClean Stevenson, Forrest Tucker, Sonny Bono, and Ethel Merman are rolling over in their graves.
Fred turned out to be an old school Republican but seemed to lose his goofy sense of humor along the way, assuming he ever had one.
Ahh yes, “The Love Boat”, where washed-up actors could go to make a quick buck.
