Carol Channing is better than you

Last night at the bar I was trying to describe this particular scene from the brilliant 1985 live-action version of Alice in Wonderland. I can't believe no one but me remembers this! Here Carol Channing plays the role of a crazy bag lady at the bus stop, ranting about her scarf and her jam and eventually morphing into a ewe.

" ... and eventually morphing into a ewe." After reading this description, it's like I hardly even need to watch this clip. My mind's totally blown already.

I should point out that the person who uploaded this clip to youtube gave it only one tag -- "godly" -- and indeed this does resemble a sort of Greek tale of mortal meets god, you know?
