Her braces did not look like that at all the way I remember it. It wasn't those fancy little metal rectangles on each teeth, it was more like a big apparatus, I'm tempted to say that it almost looked like what Shelly has on South Park, not that big but almost, it was awfully horrible and when she opened her mouth, the spectator would go "Yeeeewwww! I thought she was pretty but you know what, Jaws can have her, they will fit nicely together." and this was the whole joke.
That's BS. The braces were there. We're talking about the 80s here, not the PC BS world we live in now. They would have not removed the braces for that.

Dolly had braces. The CIA did not come into my grandma's attic to change the VHS copy. Therefore, you are full of shit. Goodbye sir

Dolly did have braces! Do you have a VHS with Dolly with braces???
wizlord ago
No. I am afflicted by the ME. I remember the braces, but my copy shows that she apparently "never" had braces.

Yup, I remember braces but I can’t find any verifiable images :/

Looks like it was always ‘bless’ and many people misheard it as ‘miss’. Not that uncommon with lyrics.
doginventer ago
Yes, I think I heard it as that originally, but lyrics are notoriously pliable to the listener so I don’t necessarily count this as a Mandella effect

Yes, and every element of the set up; the costume, the cuts, and the music, led to that payoff laugh. Very confusing indeed.

I miss?
I remember they edited out the braces because they felt it was making fun of kids with braces etc.
