That song is one that drives the Reverend Lawrence Shannon up the wall as he acts as the tour guide through Mexico for the Baptist college ladies who keep singing it and other nursery songs. "Fantastic, fantastic..." he keeps mumbling to himself. Burton is brilliant as Shannon in "Night of the Iguana."

In reply to:

I think I've only ever heard this on Westerns before. I understand it as an emphatic agreement, but why should it be?

All right, I'll rephrase the question: Where does the expression 'darned tootin" come from?
