The theatre world is still getting over John Travolta butchering Tony-winner Idina Menzel's name on Sunday's Oscar broadcast.

In the hilarious video below, Randy Rainbow sings a Travoltafied musical tribute to the new star!

David Letterman presented 'Top Ten Ways To Mispronounce Idina Menzel' on Monday, March 3, 2014.

The embarrassing error however, made great fodder for late night TV hosts Jimmy Fallon and Conan O'Brien.

In a clip from tonight's CONAN on TBS, Conan shows that John Travolta's flubbed Oscar night intro for Idina Menzel was the biggest thing to ever happen to aspiring star 'Adele Dazeem'. Watch below!

The 2014 Academy Awards telecast was lovely, lengthy and a generally low-key affair, filled with more than a few buzz-worthy moments worth a replay or two as well as some spectacular song sequences, too - as would be expected from two noted and similarly Oscar-winning producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. Ellen Degeneres delivered on the humor as expected, if not surpassing expectations in doing more than merely decently, whereas the winners themselves were generally smart and savvy choices, all said - 12 YEARS A SLAVE and DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB nabbing many top awards. Plus, FROZEN took home a well-earned trophy or two and its sensational lead Idina Menzel was responsible for not only the performance of the night - a Swarovski explosion of epic proportions, with vocals to match - but also the viral video, too, byway of John Travolta's unfortunate faux pas introduction mispronouncing the Broadway superstar's name. Oops, Oohs, Ahhs, and, well, OZ, the 2014 Oscars fulfilled its promise of entertaining, if perhaps overstaying its welcome - yet, who would want to sacrifice those fabulous speeches; or anything else, for that matter? Everyone got their moment - but maybe just a moment or two too many.

Despite being a movie musical icon for roles in GREASE, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, and HAIRSPRAY, John Travolta had a little trouble introducing Tony winner Idina Menzel for her performance of the Best Original Song 'Let It Go' from FROZEN. Little did he know that 'Adela Dazeem' would be on Twitter just moments after his slip.
