After many complications (including Mitch leaving the theatre at the last minute to go rose-shopping) the show goes off without a hitch. Mitch and Mickey even kiss onstage during their song "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow." Six months later, we find that both Mitch (whose mental condition has improved) and Mickey (who now performs at her husband's catheter conventions) hope that the other wasn't misled by the onstage kiss, but agree that it was good to see each other. Meanwhile, the New Main Street Singers' manager has gotten them a (seemingly successful)T.V. show in which they play folk-music loving U.S. Supreme Court justices. The Folksmen, however, are now playing in front of the restroom of a casino, though bass player Mark Shubb has discovered that he was really a woman trapped in a bald man's body, and resolves to spend the rest of his (her?) life as one.

Continuity mistake: As the New Main Street Singers are performing their second song at the show, you can see Parker Posey pretend to use her guitar as a shotgun. The strap for the guitar drops from her shoulder down to her right forearm when she does this. When the shot changes the strap is back up over her shoulder. (01:01:40)
Lars Olfen: I had a garage band in Stockholm, which was a challenge in its own right, to keep an instrument tuned with that temperature swing. There's a block warmer for the Volvo in the garage but it's cold in there in the winter. So we played and I had a hit that you might have heard of. "Hur?r l?get, lilla gumman?" which means, "How's It Hanging, Grandma?" and it was big on the Swedish charts.
Trivia: The Folksmen first appeared on a Saturday Night Live skit in 1983, and have toured as Spinal Tap's "opening act".
