Marilyn Monroe, Angie Dickinson, Juliet Prowse, Buddy Greco, and Shirley MacLain were often referred to as the "Rat Pack Mascots".  – Wikipedia, s.v. “Rat Pack”


Watch on YouTube if you seek

His kind of Sixties Vegas chic.

As for me, his YouTube clips stir

No fever for this swinging hipster,

And “ratpack mascots” such as he seem

Doomed forever to the B-Team.
