Friday nights with Donny and Marie were so squeaky clean, it made "The Brady Bunch" look edgy. Their big brother Alan penned "May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day," and it became the perfect sentimental closer. America's sweethearts would stand center stage surrounded by cascading balloons and sing about hoping tomorrow would be perfect while their teeth practically glowed in the studio lights. It perfectly captured the wholesome optimism that made their variety show comfort food for families across America. Decades later, that cheesy little song still packed enough emotional punch to make Donny completely lose it during their final Vegas show.
