60's/70s musical comedy, Arabian themed, TV or movie...Bob Denver?

Unsolved

The part I saw: Everyone was dressed Arabian style, and I think the set was in a big tent. Bob Denver (I think) was trying to romance this beautiful woman. He offered her a seat on a zebra skin couch. She said, "I could never sit on a dead animal." and he said "Would you prefer a live one?" Eventually this big guy with a beard who was a sheik or something arrived to invite the woman to his palace, and he sang a song about all the wonderful things she would experience there, and Bob Denver kept interrupting singing "What about me, me, me? What about me, me, me?"

I've pretty much given up on ever identifying this, but thought I'd take another stab at it. I saw just a bit of it on TV when I was a kid, probably in the 70s. It caught my attention because (I believe) Bob Denver was in it, and we always loved seeing the Gilligan's Island cast in other things. But I see nothing in his IMDB that sounds like what I saw, so it may have been part of a TV series, or a fantasy or dream sequence from something. (Definitely NOT Gilligan's Island, I grew up with that, have the DVDs, all pretty much memorized.) Or, somehow, my brain short-circuited over the years and it was someone else. But I feel so certain it was him. Not 100% sure if it was in color, but I think it was.
