Agreed.  And I think this echoes Todd's comments about Weiner's direction.  A little formalism goes a long way in the Mad Men stylistic approach, but the shot of the five of them - and of Don walking away from the commercial set - were just too self-conscious and on the nose.  And the staging of Megan talking with her…

Really, really late to the game, sadly.  Probably too late to point out (or to point out perhaps redundantly) that Rick Wakeman did not sing on Journey to the Centre of the Earth.  Here is, for better or for worse, an example of his singing:
