She was originally supposed to sing "Born in a Trunk", a gaudy, Cabaret-like song, at the talent show. The number was planned to contrast with her earlier, more reserved persona. Marilyn Sokol recorded the audio for the song (written by Paul Williams) but it was later cut from the special. Although the musical number didn't make it to film, she is still seen in her sequins and feathers running around backstage prior to the show.
