MORGAN FREEMAN HONORED AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES!

Of all of Morgan Freeman's many distinguished roles that were displayed in a moving montage before the actor was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes Sunday night, one stood out in particular for viewers.

It wasn't for "Driving Miss Daisy." Or “The Shawshank Redemption." Or embodying Nelson Mandela in "Invictus" or reformer principal Joe Clark in "Lean on Me." Or playing the U.S. President in "Deep Impact" or God in "Bruce Almighty." Or his Oscar-winning turn in "Million Dollar Baby."

A 37-year-old clip of the 74-year-old in a little remembered stint as a singing vampire on the PBS children's show "The Electric Company" took the Twitterverse by storm Sunday night.

"Some vampires like it in a bathtub, others have tried a sink," he sings while sudsing himself up in a coffin in the clip. "But when I'm flushing, I'm wishing to be washing in something that's soft and lined with pink."

Freeman exchanged some good-natured ribbing from co-presenter Helen Mirren — his co-star in "Red" — and platitudes with former DeMille recipient Sidney Poitier.

“Being up here receiving this award, this tribute that you yourself received, makes it clear to me that though they call this the Cecil B. DeMille Award, in my house, it will also be called the Sidney Poitier Award," Freeman said.

The actor has been collecting lifetime achievement honors of late, including one last year from the American Film Institute and more recently from the People's Choice Awards.

"If you do what you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life," he said Sunday night.
